France and Great Britain Bulldogs kicked off the proceedings for Transatlantic Cup Grand Final Day at Humber College in Toronto.  The 2nd/3rd place European team’s playoff was played under wet conditions as the rain came through in patches. 

Great Britain got out to a three-goal lead at quarter time, with the French matching the Bulldogs for the rest of the match.  Denton kicked three goals for the Bulldogs and Boscart two for the Coqs.  At the final siren, the Bulldogs claimed a 19-point win and second place of the European teams at this competition.

Today was Day 8 of the AFL 2024 Transatlantic Cup and we are getting towards the pointy end.  After the women’s semifinals lined up Ireland and the USA in the grand final yesterday, it looked like it could be a repeat in the men’s side of the competition.

First though, rain and plenty of it.  The ground was covered in water across the surface as the rain continued to fall and the fifth-place playoff match between the Colombia Jaguares and the French Coqs got underway and continue to fall for the duration of the match. The lake side of the ground fortunately drained better and the majority of the play was on that side of the ground.

Day 7 of the AFL 2024 Transatlantic Cup in Toronto featured two women’s semi-finals that would see victors as champions of their continent, and more importantly put them into Sunday’s Grand Final. 

The Irish Banshees were up against their neighbours from across the Irish Sea, the Great Britain Swans.   The Swans arrived at the semi-final undefeated in their three round matches, while the Banshees had suffered one loss to Canada’s Northern Lights in Round 2.
