It is the end of Week 2 in the BUAFL regular season and the Aces have returned from their game over the weekend against MAC rivals, the Nottingham Outlaws, with a big victory of 34-0. This Remembrance Sunday game saw strong offence creating many opportunities that moved the chains, particularly with QB’s Nick Jacquet and James Slack connecting with WR’s John Mathewson and James Cavney...

The Loughborough Aces move into the 2011/12 season hungry to win their 4th National Title which has eluded them in recent seasons. Last season ended on a slightly disappointing note with a close loss to the Birmingham Lions in the Quarter Final of the Playoffs, where the Aces were decimated by injuries. However, the season did end on a high note with Quarter Back Tom Worrall and Head Coach...

It is with great regret that the Aces announce the departure of Jason Scott from his post as Head Coach of Loughborough’s American Football programme, to pursue a further coaching opportunity in the United States. Representing the ‘Cardinal and Gold’ Aces as both a player and coach for the last thirteen years, the last six as HC, his time at the helm has been outstanding, with a 41-6-1...

  The British Universities American Football League is delighted to  announce that Adam Hope of the Loughborough Aces has been  named the Offensive League MVP for 2011. When Hope is on the field for the Loughborough Aces, hope  disappears from their opponents; because Adam Hope (Junior,  Loughborough University Aces) isn’t so much a Running Back, he’s  more a one-man...

It wasn’t a day for the purist, but the Aces visited Coventry this Sunday gone, looking to stay perfect on the season, and cement their status as one of the Nation’s best teams. Loughborough were going into the game with a unblemished 7-0 record, and the MAC Championship following the previous weeks win against Birmingham, whilst Coventry – the league new boys – were fighting through a...

It was the match-up that all of the British College football fraternity wanted to see – the re-run of the 2010 National Championship Game; the Birmingham Lions visiting the Loughborough Aces, to see who would have bragging rights in the Midlands Athletic Division, and ultimately a first round bye in the playoffs. The Lions were heading into the game as clear favourites, having beaten the Aces...

After a two week interrupted training schedule and numerous players absent due to exams, the Loughborough Aces arrived at Lincoln ahead of the their first game of 2011. Lincoln won the toss and chose to receive. The Aces kickoff unit managed to pin Lincoln inside their own 25 yard line and after great hustle around the pitch from the Loughborough defense the Colonials were forced to punt. The...

After a fortnight of practice affected by heavy snowfall and not just the excitement of a game against local rivals Derby Braves but the first game following the late cancellation of the Sheffield Sabres game the previous week, the Aces had all the motivation they needed to take the game straight to Derby from the kickoff. The Aces kickoff and the Derby return is kept short inside their own 20...

As the sun rose over the East Midlands this last weekend, I’m sure there was a few relieved faces as a cursory glance outside revealed that no freak storm hit Loughborough, and that the town wasn’t covered with a thick layer of snow. The Sheffield Sabres travelled to Loughborough before Christmas, and found the surface at ‘The Cage’ not to their liking, and despite the home team’s...
