Notes from the Editor

By

Shaun Rogers

Hello and welcome to our first gameday magazine that we are going to

produce for the Staffordshire Surge. I got into the game of AmericanFootball about 4 years ago and I now love the game, when I found out

we had a team playing in our area I went along and watched a game and

now I have game days marked down on my calendar, both home and

away games. So if you like this publication please pass it on to any of

your friends that enjoy the game of American Football and bring them

down for a game one Sunday afternoon, I promise you wont regret it.

I hope you enjoy reading our gameday magazine and that we have

perhaps made you more aware of the Surge and have helped you get

the bug to return for our next home game and hopefully return for more

games next season.

Notes from the Coach

By

John Farmiloe

Welcome to our fourth home game of the season when today we will be playing theLincoln Bombers.

The club have made great strides so far this season with many new players who aregetting better every game. We have been competing against good teams as thestandard of our league continues to improve and today we will be aiming to beat theBombers for our second win of the season.

The Surge have beaten the Bombers twice in their previous three fixtures. Last yearthe Bombers were one of the surprises of the season as they won four games,including beating the Surge at home. One of the reasons for their improved formwas the play of their quarterback Martin Day, whose size and strong arm will prove achallenge for the Surge defence today.

We hope you enjoy todays game and come and support us at our next home gameon 28th July.

Head CoachJohn Farmiloe

Large had the Surge driving again though and with under a minute to go

had got into Manchester territory when #9 John Oxley stepped in front

of a pass and sprinted down the sideline ending for the endzone where

he was just push out of bounds inside the Staffordshire 10 yard line.

Mead immediately looked for TE Jon Homer but the deflected pass wasintercepted in the endzone and the Surge ran out the clock to end the

1st half.

Staffordshire switched QBs at half-time with the more mobile Moses

Ogundeji taking over. He drove his team the length of the field before

he kept the ball for a 16 yard TD run. The extra point was no good

making the scoreline 32-6. On the Titans next possession, Profit came

up short on a 4th & 1 and Manchester turned the ball over on downs.

Again Ogundeji drove the Surge offence on a 9 play drive before Ryan

Newton picked him off. However with Mead misfiring, the Titans

offence went 3 & out as did Staffs on their next possession. On

Manchesters ensuing possession, the Surge pass rush finally got to

Mead and sacked him, forcing a fumble. They drove down the short

field to score their 2nd TD at the end of the 3rd quarter to make the

score 32-12.

3 straight incomplete passes forced another Titans punt but a big sack

by Guimaraes on 3rd & 14 forced the Surge to punt. However, 3 plays

only resulted in 9 yards for Manchester so they brought on Pennington

to punt on 4th & 1, but Staffordshire committed a Roughing the Punter

penalty giving the Titans a first down and they took full advantage.

Copley scampered 32 yards before Mead found rookie WR James

Newnes behind the Surge defence for a 21 yard TD. The XP was no goodbut the Titans had a 38-12 lead with very little time left in the game. On

the final play, #90 Mike Ripley put a big hit on the Surge WR to end the

game.

New to the Game..Surge are here to Help !!Surge are here to Help !!Surge are here to Help !!Surge are here to Help !!

We dont want you sitting there on the sidelines today thinking what is going on,

why do they keep stopping play ?, why are they all kneeling down ?, how many

points do they get for that kick ?, why are they cheering him running into the large

area at the end ?

Yes these are all comments I have overheard in my time watching the Surge so lets

hope we can help you out. In this issue we are going to look at how the Surge will

line up on the pitch and the basics of the game.

Positions

Offence

QB - Quarterback

RB - Running Back

HB - Half Back

FB - Full Back

TE - Tight End

WR - Wide Receiver

OL - Offensive Linesman

C - CentreDefence

DL - Defensive Lineman

LB - Line BackerDB - Defensive Back

Scoring

Touchdown (six points)A touchdown is scored when a team crosses the opposition's goal line with the

ball, or catches or collects the ball in the end zone.

Field goal (three points)

These are usually attempted on fourth down if the kicker is close enough to the

end zone to kick the ball through the posts better known as the uprights.

Extra point (one or two points)

A point is earned by kicking the ball through the uprights after a touchdown

(similar to a rugby conversion). Two points are earned by taking the ball into the

end zone again.

Safety (two points)

Awarded to the defensive team when a member of the offensive team is tackledwith the ball in his own end zone.

Essentials

11 players from each team on field.

There are Four 15min quarters.

Three time-outs per half for each team.

12min half-time (Just enough time to get a beer from the bar!)

Downs

Downs are the most fundamental, and confusing, part of the American Football

rulebook.

The attacking team, or offence, needs to move the ball forward in chunks of at

least 10 yards, which is why the pitch has yardage markings.

They have four chances, or downs, to gain those 10 yards, when the ball has

advanced that far another first down is earned, with four more chances to go a

further 10 yards.

If the offensive team fails to move 10 yards within four downs, possession is

surrendered, although the ball is usually kicked as a Field goal attempt or isPunted by the offence down the field to the defending team on fourth down.

While most scoring comes from near the defending team's end zone, a

touchdown can be scored from anywhere on the field, and on any down.

But if in further doubt please come and ask one of us we are here to help you enjoy the game

afterall.

Surge Player Interview

Welcome to the first of our getting to know your Staffs Surge playersevery issue we will be asking one of the Squad to answer a few short

questions.

First up is #69 Nathan Owen

Q&A

Name : Nathan Owen

Position : RG / DL

How many years playing American Football: 4

What got you into the game: When I was about 15 a friend told me about the game,

and told me to watch it on channel 5 on a Sunday night, so I did, and the rest is history.

How did you hear about the Surge: I came to training session years ago when I was

about 16, so I knew about them from back then, so when I joined this season I just

knew about them I guess.

Best game you have played in for the Surge: Crewe away, it was only my secondgame for the surge and the first we lost against the Rev, so I was unsure really about

the league and about the standard of play, but everyone played well in that game and

it was special to break the losing streak I guess.

Worst game you have played in for the Surge: Against Leicester probably, they had

some big lads on their lines, so I personally had a tough game - but nothing really

clicked for us so it was annoying

Who is your NFL team: San Diego Chargers

Who is your College Team: Ohio State Buckeyes

If you are not playing American football what else do you do: playing flag with

friends, practicing or playing madden, I play a bit of football and tennis as well, and I

have a massive love for music.

Who do you compare yourself to in American Football: Ive always wanted to play

tight end and Im amazed by Antonio Gates, so Ill say him...

What advice would you give a Rookie joining the Surge: Just do it, this year

especially weve had a lot of newcomers to the sport that have joined us, speaking to a

few of them not one of them regret it, but also, if you dont have one - pick up a copyof madden (its the best way to learn the sport).

Game ReportMerseyside Nighthawks 22 vs 8 Staffordshire Surge

Sunday 16th June 2013

Match Report Courtesy of Merseyside Nighthawks website.

Staffordshire won the toss and deferred, giving the Nighthawks offence the ball to

start the game. After a short kick off and return, QB Chris Lingard, with his first start

for the Nighthawks, moved the ball well to begin the game, and a series of run plays,

including 2 powerful runs from RB Kamara before a 3 and out gave Staffordshire the

ball on their own 10 yard line. From the very next play from scrimmage, DL Tendai

Trafford forced the Surge player to give up the ball, but couldnt capitalise and the

Surge recovered the ball. A 3 and out again gave the Nighthawks the ball, who then

immediately went 3 and out. The Surge put together a decent looking drive,

consisting of 11 plays before having to give the ball back to the Nighthawks. The 1st

quarter expired and the tight game remained at 0-0.

The Hawks, starting on their own 23 yard line, came out in the 2nd quarter and

began to press the Surge. After a series of run plays, mainly using Kamara and

Lingards pace, the Nighthawks pounded the ball in from 7 yards. Kamara lowered

his shoulders and ran into the end zone untouched to give the Hawks the lead.

Mellings XP was blocked and the score remained at 6-0.

The remainder of the 2nd quarter would lead to a couple of exchanges in the ball,

with both teams punting after 3 and outs. Staffordshire were putting together a very

nice looking drive, but stalled at the Nighthawks 7 yard line as time expired. Half

time came quickly and the Hawks were in the lead, but by no means looking out of

sight just yet.

The Surge came out in the 3rd quarter looking to put some points on Merseyside,

but after a quick 3 and out, combined with a few penalties, Staffordshire gave the

ball back to Merseyside and the Hawks quickly capitalised. After a number of runs,

mainly by RB Carl Rugen Jr and a couple of pass plays, LB Melling came out to kick

the field goal to put the Hawks up by 2 scores, 9-0.

The Staffordshire Surge came out and tried to move the ball quickly, which resulted

in a near immediate turnover. Joe Leyland stepped in for the pick and returned it to

the Surge 42 yard line. After a quick gain of 12 on the 1st play by WR Joe Black, QB

Chris Lingard showed he was more than capable of filling in the Nighthawks by

showing his speed and agility to run the ball into the corner for another Nighthawks

TD. Melling added the XP and the score was 16-0, with the Hawks D looking good

again.

After another quick set of exchanged punts, Melling came on and added another

field goal, this one from 35 yards, to move the Hawks up to 19-0. However, on the

very next series, the Hawks defence would stutter, allowing the Staffordshire QB to

run up the sidelines for a 75 yard TD. Coach Pennington was understandably

dismayed and, after the Surge added a 2 point conversion, the Nighthawks suddenly

looked shaky at 19-8.

This would look even more precarious on the very next play, as RB Andrew Smithfumbled the ball on the Nighthawks 40 yard line. Smiths blushes were to be saved


13/25

by the defence, as the Hawks stood strong and a sack by rookie LB Mark Cross would

see the ball turned over on downs, at the Surge 43.

The Nighthawks proceeded to run the clock down and added a further Melling field

goal just before time expired, this time from 34 yards. The clock expired on the very

next play and the Nighthawks moved to 5-0 with a tough 22-8 victory.

Offensively, QB Chris Lingard showed that he could match what the Nighthawks

other QB, Adrian Hodgers, could do on the ground, scooting for 181 yards on the day

on just 11 carries. Both RBs Kamara and Rugen Jr ground out some tough yards on 17

carries between them with WRs Barker and Black with 5 catches between them.

Defensively, the stand outs were captain LB Mark Houghton adding 6 tackles and a

sack to his stats for the year and DL Trafford continuing where he left off in the last

game with 5 individual tackles. LB Melling also added 2 sacks for a loss of a total of

18 yards. MVPs for the game were DL Greg Williams and QB Chris Lingard.


14/25

Todays opponents at Surge Field are the (0-6)Lincolnshire Bombers, Wayupna takes a look at thereSeason so far and speaks with a few of there players.

Last time out the Bombers were beaten by theNighthawks 52-0 in a game which will no doubt have

made them even hungrier for a W in todays game against

the Surge.So far this season the W has been hard to find for the

Bombers if not for the want of trying mind, but they seemto have a good young side which with more time and

patience will prosper over the next few coming seasons.

Lincolnshire Bombers players, RB Jack Genney, QB Martin Day, Center

Edd McGreal, DB Tom Hutchinson & LB Deivydas Merkelsi give us there

views on the season and what they hope the future holds for

Lincolnshire Bombers beyond this season in an Away team Q & A.

Name : Jack Genney

Position : Slotback/Running back

Squad No : #4

How many years playing American Football : Rookie year

What got you into the game : Personal desire

Best game you have played in for the Bombers : vs Leicester Falcons 2 weeks ago. Although

we lost showed a tremendous amount of heart to play the full game at 100% intensity with less

then 25 players.Who is your NFL team : Oakland Raiders

Who is your College Team : Oregon Ducks

Who would you compare yourself to in American Football : Darren Sproles

How do you feel the teams season has gone : we've took some heavy defeats, which is never

good, but we learn from each loss and we always stride to come back stronger, no matter the

score line or the team were playing the bomber show 100% commitment throughout and that

for me is the best part of this season. It's brotherhood.

What do you hope to see change for next season : increased number of players with in our

squad.

Best place you have played : Manchester

What player should we keep an eye out for : Tom Hutchinson #14. A great defensive leader.

Fantastic technique and never shows lack of effort.

Name: Martin Day

Position: QB

No: #2Years playing: 3

What got you into the game: Was a fan of the NFL, then started playing when I went to

university

Best game: 2011-12 last game of the season at DC presidents! I threw 4 TD's and rushed for 1.

Loved playing at such a quality venue

NFL team: Atlanta Falcons

College team: Clemson Tigers

Who would you compare yourself to in American football: Ben roethlisberger, solely in terms

of his size, absolutely no comparison to his ability

Season so far: this seasons results haven't reflected what we had aimed for in the offseason.


17/25

However with a number of ongoing changes and a vastly rookie team, there have been a

number of positives in terms of perseverance and continued effort.

Next season: Continue to grow, rebuild and recruit.

Best place: DC Presidents ground, great atmosphere, facilities and pitch

Player to keep an eye out for: Liam Stephenson LB, very inexperienced yet has been a standout in recent games

Name : Edd McGreal

Position : Offensive Line Center

Squad No : 66

How many years playing American Football : Competing in my 6th season

What got you into the game : Have watched NFL and played the Madden games for a number of

years, then when I got to University in Lincoln I thought I couldnt possibly pass on the chance of

having a go at such an amazing an exhilarating sport. As it turns out, it was even better than I

could have imagined and I havent looked back since. Plus, I have a natural talent for it.

Best game you have played in for the Bombers : My favourite match for the Bombers has beenwithout doubt DC Presidents away 2012 season. Everything about the match was second to

none. The Presidents have an incredible set up, and when walking out the tunnel to roaringmusic into the stadium, with commentators on the tannoy gave an amazing gameday

experience, which I have failed to witness since. And being the last game of the season meant

that the boys were in high spirits and everyone gave their all out on the field with no one holding

anything back, and taking home the W was an added bonus too.

Who is your NFL team : Baltimore Ravens

Who is your College Team : Im not an avid follower of College ball, however, the story of Tom

Wort did draw me towards the Oklahoma Sooners and I enjoyed following their progress. So I

would say the Sooners.

Who would you compare yourself to in American Football : Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)

Obviously not in playing styles, however, I feel we both have a similar personality. I am verymuch a joker, and struggle to take things too seriously most of the time. You will often find mejoking around and having a laugh during training. I am very much the same on gameday. How

many other footballers do you know that will happily have S Club 7 blasting through the

speakers in the changing room? However, once it comes to kickoff this is well and truly put to

one side, and the game head is put on.

How do you feel the teams season has gone : Unfortunately, this season hasnt been the bestresults wise thus far. After a good season for the Bomber last year, it has been a bitter pill to

swallow. However, when you look at the facts, we have had a fairly high turnover of players

between the off-season, meaning we have a large rookie dominance within the team whom

currently lack experience. This does however, lead to a more promising season next year, with a

larger number of players that have gained experience hopefully leading to a winning season.What do you hope to see change for next season : The Ws. Next season I hope to see more

wins across the board. I know a lot of players care more for having fun, which is obviously

important. But, we play a competitive sport anyone who believes that winning isnt the most

important part of playing football is in my mind very naive, I play to win!


18/25

Best place you have played : My favourite ground has to be DC Presidents. Like Ive previously

said they have a fantastic set up and it would be a dream to play there week in week out. It

almost made me feel like I was a true NFL star. So, up until I get signed up by the Patriots, DCwill remain my favourite place to play.

What player should we keep an eye out for : Liam Stephenson Liam is a rookie linebacker,

and has only been playing American footballer for a matter of weeks. However, watching him

you would not think it. Liam has had a very important and difficult role, after losing two middle

linebackers to injury, he has had some very big shoes to step into, but he has done a very good

job of it. Look out for forced fumbles, interceptions and plenty of tackles.

Name : Tom Hutchinson

Position : Defensive Back

Squad No : 14

How many years playing AmericanFootball : 5

What got you into the game : Randomly watching NFL games late at night during Sixth Form

Best game you have played in for the Bombers : vs Crewe Railroaders at Staffordshire last year.

Playing both O and D and scoring 4 touchdowns.

Who is your NFL team :Dallas Cowboys

Who is your College Team : Stanford Cardinals

Who would you compare yourself to in American Football : Charles Tillman

How do you feel the teams season has gone : The team has had a tumultuous season behind the

scenes which has led to our results but currently has a core of die hard players that I can see

having a bright future.What do you hope to see change for next season : Improvements in recruitment that translate

into wins

Best place you have played : DC Presidents ground

What player should we keep an eye out for : Jack Genney- Electric if he gets the slightest

amount of space.


19/25

Name : Deivydas Merkelis

Position : Outside Linebacker

Squad No : #44How many years playing American Football : 2nd year

What got you into thegame : I was on a driving lesson and happen to drive past Lincolnshire

Bombers training grounds while the team was having a practice.

Best game you have played in for the Bombers : First game against Crewe Railroaders last

year. With the score being a little closer than we would of liked just before half time, I picked the

QB with a pick six from their 35 yard line.

Who is your NFL team : Baltimore Ravens

Who is your College Team : Oregon Ducks

Who would you compare yourself to in American Football : Clay Matthews. This guy is the

reason why I play the position I do and the love behind the art of rushing and blitzing the QB.

How do you feel the teams season has gone : So far, our team has performed well. It isdisappointing that things aren't clicking together as of yet but this is just the motivation we

need to get better.

What do you hope to see change for next season : I hope that in the near future we will be

successful at recruiting a few more faces and increase the squad size to stay more competitive.Best place you have played : DC Presidents Home ground

What player should we keep an eye out for : #4 Jack Genny. True team player, brings great

effort every game. Is a solid player at his position even though he's still a Rookie.

Surge Player Interview

Next on the clock for the player interview is #2 LB Stuart Beech.

Name :Stuart Beech

Position :player/coach D/C

How many years playing American Football:I have been playing on / off since 1987

and have played in about 20 seasons for 4 teams.

What got you into the game:it was massive back in the 80's when it was first show on

C4 . We played it in the play ground at school ,then I started up with the Crewe youth

team (Crewe's missiles , cool name).

How did you hear about the Surge:I was looking for a team to play for when the team Iwas player for (south Cheshire refugees ) folded after the 1993 season. Stoke spitfires

had folded the year before but wanted to start playing again. So the 2 teams joined

forces 1994 and that was the start of the surge.

Best game you have played in for the Surge: best game - colwyn bay ,away 1994 . May

not have been the best game I've played,but I is the most memorable.

Worst game you have played in for the Surge:worst game - Lincolnshire

bombers ,home 2012. We went in to the game thinking we where going to hammer

them but ended up getting our butts kick all over the place. The hole team played awful

that day from start to finish. I was Embarrassed to have played and coached in that

game and was by far the lowest point in all the years I've played.

Who is your NFL team:Oakland Raiders!!!

Who is your College Team: don't really follow any college team, I prefer to follow

players instead. I.e this season I'm looking forward to watching player like -teddy

bridgewater , Johnny 'football ' manzel and Javon clowney.

If you are not playing American football what else do you do: soccer ,gym and go outfor the odd drink or 2

Who do you compare yourself to in American Football:thats a hard one to answer ,

maybe Wayne Chrabet.

What advice would you give a Rookie joining the Surge: if you want to be a good

player at this or any other sport. You have to put the effort in off the pitch ,in your own

time just as much as you do when your on the field
