Boston Trophy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Boston Trophy is the trophy awarded each year to the winning team of the British American Football League's (BAFL) annual Premier Division Championship game, BritBowl and is BAFL's most prestigious award.

The trophy was named in honour of the town, Boston, Lincolnshire, where the League was first established.

Introduced at BritBowl XX, the trophy is a life-size replica of an end zone marker in a bright metal finish. Each of the four facets of the trophy can accommodate the names of twenty five BritBowl champions. The names of the first nineteen champions were added prior to BritBowl XX.

Winners keep the Boston Trophy until the new new champion is crowned. The current holders are the London Blitz, who defeated Coventry Cassidy Jets 14-6 in BritBowl XXI on 23 September 2007.
