1993 May 9th Birmingham Bulls -v- Leicester Panthers

Thanks to Brian Yates for this tape

1988 West Bromwich Fireballs -v- Stoke Spitfires

The last film from Darrell Thomas' collection

1987 Stoke Spitfires -v- Walsall Titans

Another Darrell Thomas contribution with a 1987 Midlands match up

1990 BNGL National Bowl Ipswich Cardinals -v- Clydesdale Colts

A film from Ian Girling and another Bowl game with some post match interviews.

The tape said 1991 on it and I saved it with that name but research shows it was the 1990 final and Ipswich played in Europe in 1991 with the win. So if you download the file remember to rename it 1990

1988 Stoke Spitfires -v- Lokomotive Derby

Not 100% certain of the year and so if you know different please post below. Thanks again to Darrell Thomas for the original tape.

Another rivalry match up between Stoke and Wrekin

1989 Stoke Spitfires -v- Walsall Titans

The third film from the Darrell Thomas tape Stoke hosting Walsall in 1989.

1989 Stoke Spitfires -v- Leicester Huntsmen

I had a tape from Darrell Thomas with three games on but no year. However I have been told by various sources it is 1989 and so have labeled accordingly.



NB If you download this game it will be a file called Stoke Spitfires -v- Walsall Titans. The original tape was mislabeled and the true opponents were ony identified after it was uploaded and displayed. So you will need to rename the file if you want the correct details.

1989 Cannock Chase -v- Stoke Spitfires

Another game from the mystery year tape from Darrell Thomas. Like the Walsall Titans game it will be from 1989.

Stoke Spitfires -v- Leicester Huntsmen

I had a tape from Darrell Thomas with three games on but no year. So if you know when this game was played let me know. The other games will appear soon so if we get the year for one we will get them all.



NB If you download this game it will be a file called Stoke Spitfires -v- Walsall Titans. The original tape was mislabeled and the true opponents were ony identified after it was uploaded and displayed. So you will need to rename the file if you want the correct details. 

1988 Portsmouth Warriors -v- Stoke Spitfires

Not too sure when this game was played. It looks like Mountbatten Stadium and so must be between 1987 and 1990. As the officials are wearing 2 inch stripes it is probably earlier rather than latter. If any one knows more about this game from a Darrell Thomas tape please let me know.

I hope I have the date right on this conversion from another Darrell Thomas tape
