Sunday 7th of February saw the second annual DAB Bowl held at the University of Derby. The event showcases American Football and the community work of the Derby Braves American Football Team, who have supported DAB since 2008.

The match was attended by over 400 people who witnessed a classic match between the reigning BUAFL champions the Braves and fierce rivals the Loughborough Aces.

The match was attended by John Coyne, the University’s Vice Chancellor, Tom Glick, Chief Executive of Derby County, Derby’s Lord Mayor Cllr Shaun Marshall and BUAFL Director Andy Fuller in the VIP area that featured a live video feed and commentaries.

Although the Braves eventually lost the match 46-6, the event was a tremendous success and helped to raise over £900 for DAB. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the over 50 volunteers who helped out on the day and made the DAB Bowl a huge success. Thank you to the UDSU, Derby Ravens Cheerleaders, BUAFL, University of Derby and of course the Derby Braves.
