AboutUs

The Phoenix were founded in 2004 by Dave Winter, Jay Alexander, Ed Winter and Ryan Baker,
after re-establishing youth football in the area, as the Tamworth Trojans, a year earlier. In their
first season 2008, the Phoenix came 2nd in the BAFL2 Central conference behind champions the
Nottingham Caesars. However, they avenged this by defeating them in the playoffs on route to a
BritBowl 2 final defeat to the London Cobras, also a first year club.

Despite defeat in the BritBowl 2 final, Tamworth Phoenix were promoted to BAFL1 division and
placed in the South-West Conference. The Phoenix completed the regular season with a record of 9-
1, winning the South-West Conference, and moved into the playoffs as the #2 seed. After a victory
over the Kent Exiles in the first round of the playoffs, their run was halted at the semi final stage by
the East Kilbride Pirates.

In the 2010 season, Tamworth completed a perfect 10-0 season, and a perfect post-season, winning
the BritBowl 35-14 over old rivals East Kilbride, and moving to the BAFANL Premiership.

In the 2011 season the phoenix continued this success with a 0.500 regular season record with some
excellent victories over some of the established premiership teams.

The 2012 season will see the ‘Nix look to improve on their Premiership debut, where we finished in
third place in the British American Football National League Premier Division.

Throughout this time the ‘Nix have developed the ‘right way’ – drawing on a very special blend of
youth team graduates, talented young local players, and respected Britball veterans to form a very
special team on the field and close knit family off it.
