The Bullets are proud to announce that their Head Coach Matt Dyke has been offered and accepted the Head Coaching role of the Southern Wildcats team for the second year running. After the massive success for the south last year vs. the north under the leadership of Matt Dyke, the North has got a new Head Coach in Jason Scott. Coach Scott is looking forward to the challenge and is trying to organise with Coach Dyke the final details of the trails and the Game. Watch this space for more details as they are finalised. Last year 11 Bullet players (Olly ‘The Bus’ Barrett, Alex ‘A-Bomb’ Gillespie, Chris ‘The Goat’ Taylor, Rob Hardy, Dave ‘Dangerous’ Egbosimba, James ‘J Dog’ Carter, Michael ‘Kryton’ Shawe, Abdul Bah, KC, Adam ‘Spaz’ Sparrow, and Lee ‘Tank’ Richards) and 7 Bullet coaches (Matt Dyke HC, Paul Dolan RB, Matt Crudgington DB, Steve Davey DL, Pete Jones OL, Matt Barrett Asst RB, and Raph Cadoux Asst LB) all played their part in the win last season. The Bullets hope to have a good turn out again this year. The game will be a trail in itself for the players to make the Great Britain squad.

The Bullets have already put in motion plans for next season. With a new website in the pipeline along with some very interesting coaching changes planned for the off season, the Bullets are hoping to keep up the success they have had over the last few seasons. They are always looking for new players. With 5 new guys joining since the Christmas break the Bullets program are pleased with their committee’s continual drive to push the team in the right direction. The 2007/08 committee are being finalised and will be announced in the near future. If you are interested in joining the team this year or next, contact Head Coach Matt Dyke through the club e-mail account. (bristolbullets@yahoo.co.uk) We look forward to hearing from you soon.

The Old Boys Game 2006

The Bullets and Comets worked very hard to pull off a very successful Superbowl party in Versa on Sunday. The night saw nearly 200 people enjoy not only watching the Colts beat the Bears but joining in games, competitions, and considerable amounts of drinking. The Bullets would like to thank the Bristol University Barracudas, Bristol Aztecs, and the Bristol University Cheerleaders (UBCS) for their support during the event. This was the first step in bringing the Bristol American Football and Cheerleading family together and it was a great success. The Bullets organisation hopes that this is just the beginning. Work has already started on the new joint party as well as next years Superbowl party which is set to be bigger and better.
