Official Match Thread Season 41 Round 11 (Heritage Round) - Coney Island Warriors vs Sin City Swamprats at Van Cortlandt Park

[Supercheapgiants]

Welcome to Round 11, Heritage Round!

It’s the week we can sit and look back on the last 40 (and a bit) seasons of the SFA, and remember all the greatest games we got to play in (or watch unfold from the comfort of our desk chairs). In it’s 41st season, the SFA has seen so fabulous games, friendships made and memorable moments shared together. Mobbs contrived this league many moons ago, brought it to BigFooty and watched it grow substantially overtime to become what it is today. Heritage Round brings us together to discuss the joys and heartbreaks of Qooty, and helping us remember the incredible moments during our qareers.

Yet, this heritage round, I want to take you back to the start of rivalries, the games that forever define two teams, the first time they’d face off and battle it out on the Qootball park. Hop in your time machine, and let’s head back to the year 2014 for SFA game #1655



S18 Round 5 - ALBERTON SWAMPRATS V CONEY ISLAND WARRIORS

A warm day at Alberton Oval saw the S18 Round 5 clash between Alberton and Coney Island for the first time.​

This was a big game, with a Warriors win maintaining their top 4 position, or a loss dropping them into a chasing pack. The Swamprats had been inconsistent to that stage, going WLWL to start the season, and having not lost at home.

The experts tipped a Warriors win, yet it was the Swamprats who dominated the first half, leading by 18 at QT but a tightly contested 4 at the main break. Unfortunately, the roller coaster went Coney Island’s way after that, with an eventual 46 point blowout by the Warriors going home winners.
Some strong performances by zackah, and Lord_Flashheart led the way for the Warriors, taking home 3 and 1 votes respectively.
From the Swamprats side, spookism led the way (2 votes) along with Power Raid and Noobz0r taking charge in defeat.

Yeah took a lot of effort to screenshot and use for this week, if only someone had made a full historical rundown of the SFA Guernseys, that would be amazing!

Are you saying that someone should do all of the guernseys from Season 31 to present?

Gralin, take this as an official submission for the fourteenth team. Literally Anyone Else FFC.

Oh hi Halfy

I don't think we should have a 14th team

I think 12 teams would work much better than 14

actually maybe 10 teams

actually why not just the 2 and we can take turns winning the premiership?

Tonga Bob what say you?

Their slogan "can't someone else do it?" is a real winner.

 

[Dingster]

Good to see a couple of Rats from the tour.

You didn't figure this out when you went to train at "Alberton Oval"?

Imagine if someone doing a beez run went and recreated every jumper from Season 31 to present.

 

[Barrybran]

What would someone recreate if they were doing a nudie run instead?

I hate this idea, one team would be the Warriors and the other team would win every single premiership

Wait has someone not? I thought you did all of the seasons

Yessssss.

Ah ****, you're gonna make me design...
