Bulls win their 4th consecutive National Championship

   The Brussels Bulls Juniors finished an Undefeated 2012 season with their fourth consecutive Junior Bowl Championship in Andenne, with a 51-26 victory over the Brussels Tigers.  The high score of the game was indeed suprising given the weather conditions.  The Tigers were very effective in first half with their passing game and managed were only 2 scores behind at half.  However, in the second half the Bulls Defense tightened allowing only one score.  As the Defense tightened, the Offense continued as it did in the first half and pulled away with a 25 point win.

BULLS ON THEIR WAY TO 2012 JUNIOR BOWL

      On December the 9th, the Brussels Bulls will play the Brussels Tigers for their fourth consecutive National Title.  The previous meeting between the two teams resulted in a 39-00 shutout by the Bulls.  This meeting however may prove more difficult for the Bulls as the Tigers will have a number of key players returning from injury.  After last weeks upset of the Monarchs, it appears the Tigers do have momentum on their side.  The Bulls should be quite healthy for this matchup after a one-sided victory over the Turtles allowed them to play many of their back-up players while resting those with any lingering injuries.  The forecast is for some very "Nasty" winter conditions in Andenne Sunday so this could be a very interesting game.

BULLS UNDEFEATED FOURTH STRAIGHT SEASON

    The Bulls put the finishing touches on a fourth straight undefeated Belgian season with a 62-08 defeat of the Puurs Titans.  The Bulls were actually behind in this one for a short while with the score of 07-08, but from that point on the Bulls numbers proved too much for the Titans.  The Bulls Offense finishes the Season with an average score of staggering 57 points per game, and the Bulls Defense gave up a respectable 8 points per game.  It's now on to the playoffs to chase a 4th consecutive Belgian National Title.
