Chairman’s Welcome

Welcome to New River.

Last weekend the London Blitz suffered a loss at the hands of someone other than the London Warriors for the first time in a domestic competition since 2009, falling 17-14 to the Bristol Aztecs.

This was a wakeup call for all our players, and showed the complacency with which the team had grown to see the competition outside of the capital. This year the parity in the league is greater than ever, and the Blitz will have a battle on their hands every single time they take the field.

In the current standings, another loss is not an option if we are to progress to the playoffs.

Sunday will see a reinvigorated team take the field as the Blitz face the London Olympians. Nothing will be taken for granted anymore.

Enjoy the game. London Olympians

The London Olympians are one of the oldest and most successful teams in British American football. Formed in in 1983, the Olympians won 13 championships between 1992 and 2006, as well as two Eurobowls.

Since returning to the Premier division under long-time Head Coach Riq Ayub in 2012, the Olympians have made the playoffs on three occasions. With a new home venue at West Ham and many fresh faces on the playing staff, 2016 sees the Olympians in rebuilding mode both on and off the field as the club looks to re-establish itself as one of the elite programmes in football.
