As soon as the schedule was released, the UWE Bullets knew that a final regular season game against the Cardiff Cobras was going to be an important fixture. However they had no idea that it would be this important. A Hollywood-esque last second loss the week before to the Exeter Demons meant it was win and the UWE Bullets were South Western Conference champions and ranked #3 in the South, but a loss could drop them out of the play-offs [...]

On Sunday 19th February the UWE Bullets travelled down to Exeter to take on the Demons. The Demons have a new Head Coach who the Bristol Football Family knows very well. Damon Kirby took over the Exeter Demons this year after leaving Bristol Aztecs Youth team. The Exeter Demons have had an up and down season. After losing an early game to the Bullets closet rival the Barracuda, they turned the corner winning all other games including play-off contenders Cardiff [...]

The UWE Bullets are proud to announce that their current Head Coach Mathew Dyke has now got 53 regular season wins at the helm of the UWE Bullets. Coach Dyke took over the head coaching role with a heavy heart after Coach Jones lost his fight with cancer. He took the role through a straw poll decision to step in for the rest of that season. The plan was to then look for a new head coach at the end [...]

After the long Christmas break the UWE Bullets had an early fixture due to a game cancellation against the Swansea Titans. The first game was cancelled due to the pitch being deemed unplayable. Sunday 29th Janurary was not much different with heavy rain all week, gameday rain, and a icy side wind, made for a old school, helmet to helmet, fight for the inch match up. The day did not start off great when both teams had no changing rooms, [...]

The Rising Sun sponsored UWE Bullets took on the Bath Spa Bulldogs in what would turn out to be their last game of 2011. The Bath Spa Bulldogs are in their second year in the league after the Bath Killer Bees split into two teams to match their University and the league structure. The travelling Bulldogs were also struggling with injuries and some squad issues which meant that only 24 players came to Filton WISE to take on the conference [...]

On Sunday the 27th November the UWE Bullets had the re-arranged game against Tarannau Aberystwyth. The away trip was cancelled before due to BAFRA being unable to cover the game. This fixture was no different, however both teams would like to thank the four Level 1 coaches that stepped in to cover the game and allow the game go ahead. UWE Bullet new coaches Adam Stenlake and Pete Hancock stepped up and did a great job in the role. The game was played well [...]

On Sunday 20th November 2011 the UWE Bullets took on the Bath Killer Bees at Filton WISE.

The two clubs have a very varied and eventful history, with Bath taking most wins in total but over the last few years the UWE Bullets have been unbeaten in the fixture. This [...]

The Rising Sun sponsored UWE Bullets played their opening game on Sunday 6th November against the travelling Plymouth Blitz at Filton WISE Campus. Plymouth had a longer journey than planned due to the M5 still being closed, which meant that the Blitz had to rush to get ready for the 1pm kick off. The game was moved to the grass pitch due to a double booking on the home team’s normal 3G surface. The condition of the pitch was perfect [...]
