BUAFL Predictions Rivalry Special: MAC

Worcester Royals @ Gloucester Gladiators

The first game of our rivalry weekend sees this hotly anticipated varsity preview between two titans of the British American Football scene...


Let's be honest this game is low on most peoples lists of "games I give a damn about", but for both ball clubs its a serious matter of local bragging rights and the possibility of the only win of the regular season (they will meet again in their post season Varsity game).

RIVALRY WEEK! We start at the SEC and will work our way up!

Canterbury Chargers @ Kent Falcons

The battle for Canterbury is played out this weekend, and one thing must be said about inter-town rivalry games is how nice is it for the away team to save on that money, effectively getting 3 away games. Teams all feel the pinch and that little added bonus makes it all the nicer.

Now in true rivalry fashion, I have decided to go for an academic snobbery, as well as football snobbery. So let’s take a look, the Guardian league tables put Kent as 23/119 and Canterbury as 107/119. So I think it’s fair to say Kent win that one.

On to the stuff that really matters, because frankly when did a degree do anything for any one now days?
