IWFL 2009 Update
It's 2009 and the IWFL season is headed down the back stretch and it's doing so with all the intensity of a lit stick of dynamite!
While some teams let their presence be know quick fast and hard others proven themselves to be a scrappy lot not afraid to claw their
way down the road to pay dirt. All we can say is that the combinations make for some great football.
Probably one of the great things to look forward to is the culmination of the season takes place in Texas, a place where the do
everything big! So keep your eye peeled for the fireworks as the lone star state hosts what should be one of the leagues finest
championship venues to date. Be sure check the league's site for updates .
Unfortunately we weren't able to arrange photographic coverage of the league this year and so won't be able provide photos of the
season.
The good news is that not only will we continue to show shots from previous IWFL years but we'll also be adding more shots to those
galleries. In fact we'll be adding 2005 IWFL photos to the site.

So what is it like inside of women's football?
If you mention women's football to some folks
they immediately envision scantily clad women
playing in the lingerie bowl. Not here!!! The
women who play this brand of football love it
in it's purest form with all of the bumps and
bruises that come with it.
Once folks realize that these ladies are quite
serious about their pigskin most want to know
what the level of play is within the women's
game. First the level of raw emotion which
these gals play this game at is unbelievable !
Now the heightened emotion is closely
matched by their athleticism, commitment and
tenacity. You can bet there's no powder puff
football going on here! Still doubt it?

SWIMMING WITH THE SHARKS
It's been a while since we covered women's football ........
Last Saturday we were able to get out to Staten Island to
cover our old friends,
The New York Sharks !!! Actually, we had a double visit with
The Sharks.
The first one came on Saturday as we covered the 5th
annual all girls football camp but that's another story.
Sunday's game was against Philadelphia's Liberty Belles.
For both Teams this game was a must win. With Philly having
been beaten by the Sharks earlier in the season, they sent a
clear message to the finned ones that they'd come to win.
For a good portion of the game the Belles either matched or
led the game. But in dramatic fashion the Sharks lurched
ahead on a pass play which was nearly broken up with just
over seven minutes left in the game.
WOMEN'S FOOTBALL FLASHBACK
After a half hour game delay due to lightening concerns the contest resumed with the Sharks prevailing over the Belles who have a tradition of playing
no-quit football .
Game Shots have been posted! After both teams dried off from the monsoon which consumed the last 5 minutes of the game, they met for the
traditional after party at
Big Nose Kate's Saloon; those after party shots have been posted too !
There's just something about women's football that is so captivating to cover. You can
bet that there's never a dull moment and there's always a new surprise lurking just
around the next corner. On Saturday The New York Sharks played their last Game of
the 2011 season against the play-off bound D.C.Divas. The Divas ultimately bested the
finned ones in a game which had some real collisions . While D.C. played pretty much
Sharks,Divas And Good-Byes
Solid ball throughout the game the Sharks were initially a little inconsistent but stepped things up in the third and
fourth quarters. Two men, who'd never seen women play football were giddy with excitement after the game. They
were regretting the fact that they'd shown up late on a whim and wished that they'd seen the whole game. You can
bet that they'll probably be in the stands next seasons! The side lines were loaded with a healthy dose of retired
Shark Alumni with some even talking about coming back next season! But like we said, there's always an
unexpected surprise to keep you on your toes . It seems that six key players and administrative staff who are
retiring next season. Of course, everyone wants to know what will become of the organization. Well, don't fret, the
team have plans well in hand to ensure that women's football will continue to be played in the New York tri-state
area. In the meantime,we've posted shots from the game !
