The UWE Bullets are pleased to see so many of their players continuing to play American Football around the country this summer. In previous years players that have stayed in Bristol have been involved in the Aztecs or Apache, but this year has seen not only the number of players increase but also the gametime of those players increased. The UWE Bullets are also very pleased to hear of so many players who live away from Bristol continuing their American [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

UWE Bullet new coaches Adam Stenlake and Pete Hancock stepped up and did a great job in the role. The game was played well [...]
