CHAMPIONS 2006

2nd Place

Despite the FOURTH 6-2 finish in FOUR seasons and surrendering the Southern Division Title to the Surrey STINGERS, the STAGS had a record breaking season, including 603 points scored (avg over 50pts per game).
Progression through the playoffs - all on the road - was notable for the defeat of defending Champions Birmingham LIONS in the Southern Conference Semi-final.
The season finished in style with a resounding 79-8 victory over University of Teeside COUGARS for the STAGS' 3rd National Championship - by the largest winning margin in a College Bowl (bettering the STAGS own record 53 points in CBVI).
Following the College Bowl XX victory, the STAGS played an International Game for the first time, travelling to Eire to defeat the Irish National Team 33-0.
