UK university American football team with little or no claim of notability. University sports teams are only very rarely notable in the UK, and this team does not appear to be an exception to this rule. Pfainuk talk 16:45, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Most British uni teams are non-notable. I can't find anything to suggest that these lot are one of the notable ones - all I could find relating to the team were either the team or their rivals. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 22:33, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all the arguments in all the other recent UK university American football articles. And can I add that "latest match report" is probably the worst idea ever for a section in a sports team article, especially if you write one for the first match of the 2009 season and then never revisit the article.......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:32, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I wish that British U American football teams were notable... but time and again we conclude that they are not.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:55, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable. Only references on google are websites related to the team and its rivals. British University sports teams are rarely notable even within their own institution in mainstream British sports (never mind a niche interest sport such as American Football in the UK). This team isn't one of the mere handful of exceptions. Pit-yacker (talk) 18:18, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
