Great Britain Lions announce roster for 2018 IFAF European Championship

Great Britain Lions head coach Michael Callan has announced the 45 man roster that he will take to Finland for the 2018 IFAF European Championship which kick off Sunday, July 29. The Lions originally went to camp

Callan:

“On behalf to the Great Britain Lions Men’s team, I am proud to officially announce the team that will be taking part in the 2018 European Group A Championships. It has been a long task to put this group together, but this is the group that we feel has given us the best opportunity to perform and succeed in Finland.

Every member of the 70+ IFAF roster made it very difficult to select and pare down to a travelling squad. Since the Group B tournament in Worcester, the work and effort of the whole squad has got us ready to play in the tournament. The staff would have loved to take everyone, but hard choices were required to be made to fit the squad limit. The 45 men that have been selected are ready to do the nation proud and represent Great Britain both on and off the field.  I would like to congratulate the players and staff for their tireless work.”

The London Warriors have the highest number of players on the squad with 11, followed by the London Blitz with seven and Tamworth Phoenix with six. The Bristol Pride, Bristol Aztecs, Merseyside Nighthawks, East Kilbride Pirates and Shropshire Revolution all have two players each on the team. Of the 20 teams contributing players, two are British university squads, Leeds Beckett University and Stirling University. There are five European club teams with players on the roster. The Helsinki Roosters (Finland), Carlstad Crusaders (Sweden), Schwabisch Hall Unicorns (German), Potsdam Royals (Germany) and La Queue-En-Brie Gladiatuers (Freance) all have one player each on the team.

The Great Britain Lions open the tournament on July 29 when they face the host team, Finland. They then take on Team France on July 31.  The IFAF European Championships wind up on Saturday August 4 with both the gold medal and bronze medal games as well as the game for fifth-sixth place.
