Head Coach’s Welcome W
elcome to Grange Road Stadium for the 2019 Varsity Bowl. Whenever Cambridge and Oxford meet, regardless of the sport, it’s always a special occasion. But when the match takes place under floodlights on a Friday night, it’s even more exciting for all involved. I’ve been involved with British American Football since 1985 and began coaching in 1993. Despite my many years in the sport, returning to coach University football this season, after a 10 year absence, has proved to be a learning experience for me, much less our students. We’re blessed with a young, talented group of players, but as is often the case with inexperienced teams, inconsistency has haunted us all season. As Head Coach, I take full responsibility for that, but as a team,
we know where we need to improve and have been working hard at practice to do so. With three wins and three losses, we snuck into the post season and a thrilling playoff game against Royal Holloway. Despite a heartbreaking last-minute loss, we played our best football of the season and it was so rewarding to see the team begin to realise its potential. We’ll be looking to recapture the excitement we found during that game and play to the same level tonight. American Football is often termed the ultimate team sport and, whilst that may be true when the players cross the white line, it’s every bit as true of the hard work and commitment shown week in week out by the club’s management committee. The Pythons are extremely lucky to have the support of Martin Steers, Steve Guy and Britball Legend Pete Baker. Their contributions are invaluable and greatly appreciated by those of us who benefit on gameday. Finally, I’d like to thank you all for coming along to support us tonight. We’ll give our all to put on an exciting and entertaining game. GO PYTHONS!

President’s Welcome H
ello everyone and welcome to Grange Road on what I hope will be a great occasion for Cambridge sport. I would like to begin by thanking you all for coming. Your attendance really does mean a lot to the players on the pitch. Many of our players will never have experienced playing in front of a crowd this size and your support is something which they will remember for a long time. This season has been a significant turning point for the Pythons. We gained a new head coach, new members of coaching staff and many new players who have thrived in their first seasons with us. I am extremely proud of what we have achieved as a team this year, but we are aware that the true test of how far we’ve come is how we perform on the field today. I am sure many of you will have no knowledge of how American Football works and will never have seen a game before, but this is exactly the position that a number of today’s players were in 1-2 years ago. Hopefully, some of you will this evening be inspired to follow in their footsteps and join the Pythons. We are always on the lookout for enthusiastic individuals, so if you like what you see then please do get in touch! I know a lot of the players will be keen to avenge what happened last time out against Oxford and a win here will help to take the sting out of our narrow defeat to Royal Holloway in the playoffs. I hope you see this determination and that you are able to get behind us as we strive to reclaim our Varsity trophy and the bragging rights over “the other place”.

President 2018 - 2019, Cambridge University Pythons

Rules of the Game Courtesy of Fraser Davidson
A
merican Football traces its origins to early versions of rugby football in the mid19th Century. Several major rule divergences resulted in today’s game, such as the introduction of the “line of scrimmage” and the “down and distance” rules among others. A maximum of 11 players from each team are allowed on the field at one time. The team in possession is the “Offence” and they try to advance the ball down the field. They can score points by advancing the ball over the goal-line to score a touchdown (6 points) or kick it through the uprights for a field-goal (3 points). After a touchdown the offence has the choice of either a kick for 1 more point, or attempt a riskier offensive play for a further 2 points. The team not in possession of the ball is called the defence. They attempt to stop the offence and force them to give up possession of the ball. If they do this successfully then both teams will switch roles. All progress in American Football is measured in yards. The offensive team tries to get as much “yardage” as it can to try and move closer to the opponent’s end zone. Each time the offence has the ball they have four downs (or chances) to gain 10 yards. If they do this, they will earn themselves a “first down” and 4 more chances to gain another 10 yards. If they fail then the offence loses possession of the ball where they are located, so usually on the fourth down they will punt the ball away to give them better field position to defend. We play 12-minute quarters and will play “overtime” if the teams are tied at the end of the 4th quarter, until a victor emerges. If you get lost or confused, then cheer when everyone else does and try to enjoy the game!

ne thing is always certain at the start of every university football season: Uncertainty! The scenario is always the same, whether at US college football royalty like Notre Dame and Alabama or at your very own Cambridge or Oxford - experienced and battle-tested players graduate and leave; new players, largely unknown, join the team. However the uncertainty for this season also extended off the field – we had a new head coach in Chris Wallis installing a new offensive playbook, a new Defensive Coordinator in Tim Allen installing a new defensive playbook and for our games we would be against two teams we had not played for several years (Essex and Anglia Ruskin) and another that we had never played before (East London). With all these new ingredients in the mix the season promised to be a memorable one – and so it proved. The opening game saw home defeat against a very strong Essex team, despite a strong first-half showing by the Pythons. However, the first win was secured in convincing fashion in the second game of the season against UEL, with four rushing touchdowns (one each from Ethan Brown and Simeon Kakpovi and a brace from Phil Knott). The third game was another Python victory, this time a 35-0 shutout over Anglia Ruskin with Landon Moore putting in a stellar performance (3 sacks and 2 blocked punts). Essex confirmed their superiority with a second win over a depleted Cambridge in the first game of 2019. Another Python defeat followed with a very frustrating away game at East London, where Cambridge led every significant statistical category except points scored! UEL’s two touchdowns both came on freak broken plays (a 64yd run and a 42yd pass, with both plays featuring broken tackles) and made it a painful journey home for the light blues. Needing to win the final regular season game against Anglia Ruskin to secure a playoff place, the team delivered with a solid and controlled 25-0 victory over our city rivals that featured Python quarterback Ethan Brown throwing 4 touchdown passes – an all-time Python player record for a single game.

This last victory meant a playoff game away at Royal Holloway. This game was a classic! Played in intermittent wind and rain, Royal Holloway held a 14-3 lead early on, but a dogged and determined Cambridge gradually inched back into the game, finally taking a 16-14 lead with two minutes left in the fourth quarter…but Royal Holloway capitalised on a Cambridge fumble to take a 22-16 lead with a handful of seconds left, denying the Pythons their first playoff win in over two decades. Frustrating and disappointing does not even begin to describe the feelings felt after this game. Royal Holloway would eventually make the Division 2 Southern Final where they would lose to…Essex. It has been of some consolation that of the team’s four losses, three were against the two very best teams in the Southern section and the fourth (against UEL) was a statistical fluke against another that also made the playoffs – if our team gets a little better and a little luckier then next season we could really make some waves. The game tonight against the ancient foe of Oxford, as well as giving the Pythons the chance to assert Varsity bragging rights for the next year, will be the opportunity to cap what has been a largely successful season on a wonderfully high note and set the tone for a bright and successful future.

As well as playing at high school in the US, he previously played for Queen Mary University of London before coming to Cambridge to study his MPhil at Magdalene. 4 Jon Cordova – Playmaking cornerback from New Mexico studying an MPhil in Oncology. Made the 2013 New Mexico All-State selection whilst a high school player. 5 Tom Cleere – Exotic, well-travelled running back…as well as holding both Irish and Australian citizenship, he has lived in five countries: Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and now the UK. 6 Alex O’Halloran – Safety from Bromley studying a PGCE at Homerton. Previously played for the University of Warwick. A qualified coach, he is also part of the coaching staff. 7 Michael Ballentine – Reliable wide receiver now in his third season with the team, studying at Catz.

We are expecting big things from him next season. 15 Phil Knott – Running back from Croydon studying a Master’s in Manufacturing Engineering. He is our leading rusher this season. Curiously, given his bruising playing style, he had never played contact sports prior to joining the Pythons, but was a very promising chess player in his youth. 16 Mihir Natu – Indian rookie wide receiver studying at Homerton who has visibly improved as the season progressed. Another one who we have high hopes for next season. 17 Sarah Posavec – Rookie quarterback at Christ’s College. Studying Modern and Medieval Languages which is appropriate as she speaks five different languages! Croatian, but raised in Germany. 20 Yasin Ibrahim – Rookie defensive back from Sudan.

Started his Python career as a linebacker, hence the unusual jersey number for a QB. Holds the Pythons single-game record for touchdown passes with the 4 he threw in the home game against Anglia Ruskin this season. 36 Jack Bradbury – Rookie linebacker from Essex studying Medicine at Jesus College. Joined the team in the second half of the season and quickly impressed.

The Opposition O
ur season began in a disappointing fashion, with a close lose to future division winner Worcester. 2 more losses to Bristol and Bournemouth before the winter break left us in a very unenviable position. We returned from Christmas in better shape, but still managed to lose a frustrating game at Southampton Solent 7-0, on a day when our offense couldn’t get anything going at all. Fortunately, we took our chance to rebound the next week against perennial underdog Bath Spa. Building on this momentum with a decisive win against Gloucestershire, we were ready for the final game of our regular season, a much anticipated match-up with Oxford Brookes at Tilsely Park stadium. In one of the finest performances of any Lancers team, we beat the playoff-hopeful Panthers by scoring 48 points and allowing 0. As things stand, we sit at 3-4. A win at Varsity would take us to a .500 record and possession of both our rivalry trophies. A loss would make our bittersweet season that much more bitter. We’re incredibly excited and ready for the challenge.

T
his is the thirteenth meeting between the two teams. Cambridge lead the series 7-4 with one game tied. Oxford won the last game and their last two thumping victories in 2016 (49-0) and 2018 (48-6) are the biggest victories in the series. The last Cambridge victory was in 2017 and was a classic see-saw encounter that the Light Blues finally won in double overtime. A repeat of some of that drama tonight would be very welcome! What is particularly noteworthy about recent games has been the dominance of the home team – the last away team to win was Cambridge winning by one score in 2013. Let’s hope that nothing changes in this respect. Image: Cambridge Team President Ian Calderbank accepts the Varsity Bowl Trophy after victory in the 1993 game. (Credit to James Hatch)
