| Comments: | The London Cobras are an American Football team based in Boston Manor, London. The team were formed in 2007 as the senior outfit for the London Warriors youth team, and currently play in the BAFA Community Leagues (BAFACL) Premiership. The London Cobras were formed in 2007 as a senior team of the successful London Warriors youth team, who had won the British Youth American Football Association the previous two years running. After being accepted by the British American Football League as Affiliate Members, they arranged to play the two friendly matches required under BAFL regulations. In October 2007, the Cobras played home and away games against two teams from the British Universities American Football League—the first game was played at home to the Royal Holloway Vikings and ended in a 54–0 victory. One week later, they travelled to play the Loughborough Aces and won once again, this time 42–7. After completing their obligations, the BAFL formally accepted the Cobras' application to join the league in December 2007, allowing them to compete as full members for the 2008 season. They were placed into the newly-renamed London and South East Conference in Division Two, where they made a huge impact, going on to complete an undefeated season, culminating in victory over the Tamworth Phoenix at Britbowl XXII. They play their home matches at Boston Manor Playing Fields. |
