Sofia Bears claim their first win

Sofia Bears prevailed over the team of Sofia Bulldozers with 20 to 6 in the first match of the American football championship in Bulgaria. The match was held in Blagoevgrad, where the hosts were the team of Blagoevgrad Griffins. The first meeting was in fact the hosts against the visiting team of the Sofia Bulldozers. The griffins surprised everyone by inflicting a crushing defeat.

In the second match, it was the turn of the Bears, for whom this was the first game after the team was rebuilt and rejuvenated. They started the match unconvincingly after a series of attacks without a score and at half-time the team was trailing. However, the great game of defense did not allow the opponent to score more points until the end of the game. It wasn't until the final quarter that the Bears took the lead with a bit of luck after a pass caught in a scramble. Shortly after, the defense also scored making an interception in an attempt by the Bulldozers to turn things in their favor. So, although with a dose of luck, the Bears scored their first victory. The next round of the championship will be held in Sofia at the NSA on April 14th.

Until then, practice continues every Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. on the baseball field next to the technical university.
