Notes from the Editor
By
Shaun Rogers
Hello and welcome to our first gameday magazine that we are going to
produce for the Staffordshire Surge. I got into the game of AmericanFootball about 4 years ago and I now love the game, when I found out
we had a team playing in our area I went along and watched a game and
now I have game days marked down on my calendar, both home and
away games. So if you like this publication please pass it on to any of
your friends that enjoy the game of American Football and bring them
down for a game one Sunday afternoon, I promise you wont regret it.
I hope you enjoy reading our gameday magazine and that we have
perhaps made you more aware of the Surge and have helped you get
the bug to return for our next home game and hopefully return for more
games next season.
Notes from the Coach
By
John Farmiloe
Welcome to our fourth home game of the season when today we will be playing theLincoln Bombers.
The club have made great strides so far this season with many new players who aregetting better every game. We have been competing against good teams as thestandard of our league continues to improve and today we will be aiming to beat theBombers for our second win of the season.
The Surge have beaten the Bombers twice in their previous three fixtures. Last yearthe Bombers were one of the surprises of the season as they won four games,including beating the Surge at home. One of the reasons for their improved formwas the play of their quarterback Martin Day, whose size and strong arm will prove achallenge for the Surge defence today.
We hope you enjoy todays game and come and support us at our next home gameon 28th July.

Large had the Surge driving again though and with under a minute to go
had got into Manchester territory when #9 John Oxley stepped in front
of a pass and sprinted down the sideline ending for the endzone where
he was just push out of bounds inside the Staffordshire 10 yard line.
Mead immediately looked for TE Jon Homer but the deflected pass wasintercepted in the endzone and the Surge ran out the clock to end the
1st half.
Staffordshire switched QBs at half-time with the more mobile Moses
Ogundeji taking over. He drove his team the length of the field before
he kept the ball for a 16 yard TD run. The extra point was no good
making the scoreline 32-6. On the Titans next possession, Profit came
up short on a 4th & 1 and Manchester turned the ball over on downs.
Again Ogundeji drove the Surge offence on a 9 play drive before Ryan
Newton picked him off. However with Mead misfiring, the Titans
offence went 3 & out as did Staffs on their next possession. On
Manchesters ensuing possession, the Surge pass rush finally got to
Mead and sacked him, forcing a fumble. They drove down the short
field to score their 2nd TD at the end of the 3rd quarter to make the
score 32-12.
3 straight incomplete passes forced another Titans punt but a big sack
by Guimaraes on 3rd & 14 forced the Surge to punt. However, 3 plays
only resulted in 9 yards for Manchester so they brought on Pennington
to punt on 4th & 1, but Staffordshire committed a Roughing the Punter
penalty giving the Titans a first down and they took full advantage.
Copley scampered 32 yards before Mead found rookie WR James
Newnes behind the Surge defence for a 21 yard TD. The XP was no goodbut the Titans had a 38-12 lead with very little time left in the game. On
the final play, #90 Mike Ripley put a big hit on the Surge WR to end the
game.

New to the Game..Surge are here to Help !!Surge are here to Help !!Surge are here to Help !!Surge are here to Help !!
We dont want you sitting there on the sidelines today thinking what is going on,
why do they keep stopping play ?, why are they all kneeling down ?, how many
points do they get for that kick ?, why are they cheering him running into the large
area at the end ?
Yes these are all comments I have overheard in my time watching the Surge so lets
hope we can help you out. In this issue we are going to look at how the Surge will
line up on the pitch and the basics of the game.

QB - Quarterback
RB - Running Back

Scoring
Touchdown (six points)A touchdown is scored when a team crosses the opposition's goal line with the
ball, or catches or collects the ball in the end zone.
Field goal (three points)
These are usually attempted on fourth down if the kicker is close enough to the
end zone to kick the ball through the posts better known as the uprights.
Extra point (one or two points)
A point is earned by kicking the ball through the uprights after a touchdown
(similar to a rugby conversion). Two points are earned by taking the ball into the
end zone again.
Safety (two points)
Awarded to the defensive team when a member of the offensive team is tackledwith the ball in his own end zone.
Essentials
11 players from each team on field.
There are Four 15min quarters.
Three time-outs per half for each team.
12min half-time (Just enough time to get a beer from the bar!)
Downs
Downs are the most fundamental, and confusing, part of the American Football
rulebook.
The attacking team, or offence, needs to move the ball forward in chunks of at
least 10 yards, which is why the pitch has yardage markings.
They have four chances, or downs, to gain those 10 yards, when the ball has
advanced that far another first down is earned, with four more chances to go a
further 10 yards.
If the offensive team fails to move 10 yards within four downs, possession is
surrendered, although the ball is usually kicked as a Field goal attempt or isPunted by the offence down the field to the defending team on fourth down.
While most scoring comes from near the defending team's end zone, a
touchdown can be scored from anywhere on the field, and on any down.
But if in further doubt please come and ask one of us we are here to help you enjoy the game
afterall.

Surge Player Interview
Welcome to the first of our getting to know your Staffs Surge playersevery issue we will be asking one of the Squad to answer a few short
questions.
First up is #69 Nathan Owen
Q&A
Name : Nathan Owen
Position : RG / DL
How many years playing American Football: 4
What got you into the game: When I was about 15 a friend told me about the game,
and told me to watch it on channel 5 on a Sunday night, so I did, and the rest is history.
How did you hear about the Surge: I came to training session years ago when I was
about 16, so I knew about them from back then, so when I joined this season I just
knew about them I guess.
Best game you have played in for the Surge: Crewe away, it was only my secondgame for the surge and the first we lost against the Rev, so I was unsure really about
the league and about the standard of play, but everyone played well in that game and
it was special to break the losing streak I guess.
Worst game you have played in for the Surge: Against Leicester probably, they had
some big lads on their lines, so I personally had a tough game - but nothing really
clicked for us so it was annoying
Who is your NFL team: San Diego Chargers
Who is your College Team: Ohio State Buckeyes
If you are not playing American football what else do you do: playing flag with
friends, practicing or playing madden, I play a bit of football and tennis as well, and I
have a massive love for music.
Who do you compare yourself to in American Football: Ive always wanted to play
tight end and Im amazed by Antonio Gates, so Ill say him...
What advice would you give a Rookie joining the Surge: Just do it, this year
especially weve had a lot of newcomers to the sport that have joined us, speaking to a
few of them not one of them regret it, but also, if you dont have one - pick up a copyof madden (its the best way to learn the sport).

Game ReportMerseyside Nighthawks 22 vs 8 Staffordshire Surge
Sunday 16th June 2013
Match Report Courtesy of Merseyside Nighthawks website.
Staffordshire won the toss and deferred, giving the Nighthawks offence the ball to
start the game. After a short kick off and return, QB Chris Lingard, with his first start
for the Nighthawks, moved the ball well to begin the game, and a series of run plays,
including 2 powerful runs from RB Kamara before a 3 and out gave Staffordshire the
ball on their own 10 yard line. From the very next play from scrimmage, DL Tendai
Trafford forced the Surge player to give up the ball, but couldnt capitalise and the
Surge recovered the ball. A 3 and out again gave the Nighthawks the ball, who then
immediately went 3 and out. The Surge put together a decent looking drive,
consisting of 11 plays before having to give the ball back to the Nighthawks. The 1st
quarter expired and the tight game remained at 0-0.
The Hawks, starting on their own 23 yard line, came out in the 2nd quarter and
began to press the Surge. After a series of run plays, mainly using Kamara and
Lingards pace, the Nighthawks pounded the ball in from 7 yards. Kamara lowered
his shoulders and ran into the end zone untouched to give the Hawks the lead.
Mellings XP was blocked and the score remained at 6-0.
The remainder of the 2nd quarter would lead to a couple of exchanges in the ball,
with both teams punting after 3 and outs. Staffordshire were putting together a very
nice looking drive, but stalled at the Nighthawks 7 yard line as time expired. Half
time came quickly and the Hawks were in the lead, but by no means looking out of
sight just yet.
The Surge came out in the 3rd quarter looking to put some points on Merseyside,
but after a quick 3 and out, combined with a few penalties, Staffordshire gave the
ball back to Merseyside and the Hawks quickly capitalised. After a number of runs,
mainly by RB Carl Rugen Jr and a couple of pass plays, LB Melling came out to kick
the field goal to put the Hawks up by 2 scores, 9-0.
The Staffordshire Surge came out and tried to move the ball quickly, which resulted
in a near immediate turnover. Joe Leyland stepped in for the pick and returned it to
the Surge 42 yard line. After a quick gain of 12 on the 1st play by WR Joe Black, QB
Chris Lingard showed he was more than capable of filling in the Nighthawks by
showing his speed and agility to run the ball into the corner for another Nighthawks
TD. Melling added the XP and the score was 16-0, with the Hawks D looking good
again.
After another quick set of exchanged punts, Melling came on and added another
field goal, this one from 35 yards, to move the Hawks up to 19-0. However, on the
very next series, the Hawks defence would stutter, allowing the Staffordshire QB to
run up the sidelines for a 75 yard TD. Coach Pennington was understandably
dismayed and, after the Surge added a 2 point conversion, the Nighthawks suddenly
looked shaky at 19-8.
This would look even more precarious on the very next play, as RB Andrew Smithfumbled the ball on the Nighthawks 40 yard line. Smiths blushes were to be saved

by the defence, as the Hawks stood strong and a sack by rookie LB Mark Cross would
see the ball turned over on downs, at the Surge 43.
The Nighthawks proceeded to run the clock down and added a further Melling field
goal just before time expired, this time from 34 yards. The clock expired on the very
next play and the Nighthawks moved to 5-0 with a tough 22-8 victory.
Offensively, QB Chris Lingard showed that he could match what the Nighthawks
other QB, Adrian Hodgers, could do on the ground, scooting for 181 yards on the day
on just 11 carries. Both RBs Kamara and Rugen Jr ground out some tough yards on 17
carries between them with WRs Barker and Black with 5 catches between them.
Defensively, the stand outs were captain LB Mark Houghton adding 6 tackles and a
sack to his stats for the year and DL Trafford continuing where he left off in the last
game with 5 individual tackles. LB Melling also added 2 sacks for a loss of a total of
18 yards. MVPs for the game were DL Greg Williams and QB Chris Lingard.

Todays opponents at Surge Field are the (0-6)Lincolnshire Bombers, Wayupna takes a look at thereSeason so far and speaks with a few of there players.
Last time out the Bombers were beaten by theNighthawks 52-0 in a game which will no doubt have
made them even hungrier for a W in todays game against
the Surge.So far this season the W has been hard to find for the
Bombers if not for the want of trying mind, but they seemto have a good young side which with more time and
patience will prosper over the next few coming seasons.

Lincolnshire Bombers players, RB Jack Genney, QB Martin Day, Center
Edd McGreal, DB Tom Hutchinson & LB Deivydas Merkelsi give us there
views on the season and what they hope the future holds for
Lincolnshire Bombers beyond this season in an Away team Q & A.
Name : Jack Genney
Position : Slotback/Running back
Squad No : #4
How many years playing American Football : Rookie year
What got you into the game : Personal desire
Best game you have played in for the Bombers : vs Leicester Falcons 2 weeks ago. Although
we lost showed a tremendous amount of heart to play the full game at 100% intensity with less
then 25 players.Who is your NFL team : Oakland Raiders
Who is your College Team : Oregon Ducks
Who would you compare yourself to in American Football : Darren Sproles
How do you feel the teams season has gone : we've took some heavy defeats, which is never
good, but we learn from each loss and we always stride to come back stronger, no matter the
score line or the team were playing the bomber show 100% commitment throughout and that
for me is the best part of this season. It's brotherhood.
What do you hope to see change for next season : increased number of players with in our
squad.
Best place you have played : Manchester
What player should we keep an eye out for : Tom Hutchinson #14. A great defensive leader.
Fantastic technique and never shows lack of effort.
Name: Martin Day
Position: QB
No: #2Years playing: 3
What got you into the game: Was a fan of the NFL, then started playing when I went to
university
Best game: 2011-12 last game of the season at DC presidents! I threw 4 TD's and rushed for 1.
Loved playing at such a quality venue
NFL team: Atlanta Falcons
College team: Clemson Tigers
Who would you compare yourself to in American football: Ben roethlisberger, solely in terms
of his size, absolutely no comparison to his ability
Season so far: this seasons results haven't reflected what we had aimed for in the offseason.
-
7/28/2019 Surge v Bombers Gameday Magazine
17/25
However with a number of ongoing changes and a vastly rookie team, there have been a
number of positives in terms of perseverance and continued effort.
Next season: Continue to grow, rebuild and recruit.
Best place: DC Presidents ground, great atmosphere, facilities and pitch
Player to keep an eye out for: Liam Stephenson LB, very inexperienced yet has been a standout in recent games
Name : Edd McGreal
Position : Offensive Line Center
Squad No : 66
How many years playing American Football : Competing in my 6th season
What got you into the game : Have watched NFL and played the Madden games for a number of
years, then when I got to University in Lincoln I thought I couldnt possibly pass on the chance of
having a go at such an amazing an exhilarating sport. As it turns out, it was even better than I
could have imagined and I havent looked back since. Plus, I have a natural talent for it.
Best game you have played in for the Bombers : My favourite match for the Bombers has beenwithout doubt DC Presidents away 2012 season. Everything about the match was second to
none. The Presidents have an incredible set up, and when walking out the tunnel to roaringmusic into the stadium, with commentators on the tannoy gave an amazing gameday
experience, which I have failed to witness since. And being the last game of the season meant
that the boys were in high spirits and everyone gave their all out on the field with no one holding
anything back, and taking home the W was an added bonus too.
Who is your NFL team : Baltimore Ravens
Who is your College Team : Im not an avid follower of College ball, however, the story of Tom
Wort did draw me towards the Oklahoma Sooners and I enjoyed following their progress. So I
would say the Sooners.
Who would you compare yourself to in American Football : Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Obviously not in playing styles, however, I feel we both have a similar personality. I am verymuch a joker, and struggle to take things too seriously most of the time. You will often find mejoking around and having a laugh during training. I am very much the same on gameday. How
many other footballers do you know that will happily have S Club 7 blasting through the
speakers in the changing room? However, once it comes to kickoff this is well and truly put to
one side, and the game head is put on.
How do you feel the teams season has gone : Unfortunately, this season hasnt been the bestresults wise thus far. After a good season for the Bomber last year, it has been a bitter pill to
swallow. However, when you look at the facts, we have had a fairly high turnover of players
between the off-season, meaning we have a large rookie dominance within the team whom
currently lack experience. This does however, lead to a more promising season next year, with a
larger number of players that have gained experience hopefully leading to a winning season.What do you hope to see change for next season : The Ws. Next season I hope to see more
wins across the board. I know a lot of players care more for having fun, which is obviously
important. But, we play a competitive sport anyone who believes that winning isnt the most
important part of playing football is in my mind very naive, I play to win!

7/28/2019 Surge v Bombers Gameday Magazine
18/25
Best place you have played : My favourite ground has to be DC Presidents. Like Ive previously
said they have a fantastic set up and it would be a dream to play there week in week out. It
almost made me feel like I was a true NFL star. So, up until I get signed up by the Patriots, DCwill remain my favourite place to play.
What player should we keep an eye out for : Liam Stephenson Liam is a rookie linebacker,
and has only been playing American footballer for a matter of weeks. However, watching him
you would not think it. Liam has had a very important and difficult role, after losing two middle
linebackers to injury, he has had some very big shoes to step into, but he has done a very good
job of it. Look out for forced fumbles, interceptions and plenty of tackles.
Name : Tom Hutchinson
Position : Defensive Back
Squad No : 14
How many years playing AmericanFootball : 5
What got you into the game : Randomly watching NFL games late at night during Sixth Form
Best game you have played in for the Bombers : vs Crewe Railroaders at Staffordshire last year.
Playing both O and D and scoring 4 touchdowns.
Who is your NFL team :Dallas Cowboys
Who is your College Team : Stanford Cardinals
Who would you compare yourself to in American Football : Charles Tillman
How do you feel the teams season has gone : The team has had a tumultuous season behind the
scenes which has led to our results but currently has a core of die hard players that I can see
having a bright future.What do you hope to see change for next season : Improvements in recruitment that translate
into wins
Best place you have played : DC Presidents ground
What player should we keep an eye out for : Jack Genney- Electric if he gets the slightest
amount of space.

Name : Deivydas Merkelis
Position : Outside Linebacker
Squad No : #44How many years playing American Football : 2nd year
What got you into thegame : I was on a driving lesson and happen to drive past Lincolnshire
Bombers training grounds while the team was having a practice.
Best game you have played in for the Bombers : First game against Crewe Railroaders last
year. With the score being a little closer than we would of liked just before half time, I picked the
QB with a pick six from their 35 yard line.
Who is your NFL team : Baltimore Ravens
Who is your College Team : Oregon Ducks
Who would you compare yourself to in American Football : Clay Matthews. This guy is the
reason why I play the position I do and the love behind the art of rushing and blitzing the QB.
How do you feel the teams season has gone : So far, our team has performed well. It isdisappointing that things aren't clicking together as of yet but this is just the motivation we
need to get better.
What do you hope to see change for next season : I hope that in the near future we will be
successful at recruiting a few more faces and increase the squad size to stay more competitive.Best place you have played : DC Presidents Home ground
What player should we keep an eye out for : #4 Jack Genny. True team player, brings great
effort every game. Is a solid player at his position even though he's still a Rookie.

Surge Player Interview
Next on the clock for the player interview is #2 LB Stuart Beech.
Name :Stuart Beech
Position :player/coach D/C
How many years playing American Football:I have been playing on / off since 1987
and have played in about 20 seasons for 4 teams.
What got you into the game:it was massive back in the 80's when it was first show on
C4 . We played it in the play ground at school ,then I started up with the Crewe youth
team (Crewe's missiles , cool name).
How did you hear about the Surge:I was looking for a team to play for when the team Iwas player for (south Cheshire refugees ) folded after the 1993 season. Stoke spitfires
had folded the year before but wanted to start playing again. So the 2 teams joined
forces 1994 and that was the start of the surge.
Best game you have played in for the Surge: best game - colwyn bay ,away 1994 . May
not have been the best game I've played,but I is the most memorable.
Worst game you have played in for the Surge:worst game - Lincolnshire
bombers ,home 2012. We went in to the game thinking we where going to hammer
them but ended up getting our butts kick all over the place. The hole team played awful
that day from start to finish. I was Embarrassed to have played and coached in that
game and was by far the lowest point in all the years I've played.
Who is your NFL team:Oakland Raiders!!!
Who is your College Team: don't really follow any college team, I prefer to follow
players instead. I.e this season I'm looking forward to watching player like -teddy
bridgewater , Johnny 'football ' manzel and Javon clowney.
If you are not playing American football what else do you do: soccer ,gym and go outfor the odd drink or 2
Who do you compare yourself to in American Football:thats a hard one to answer ,
maybe Wayne Chrabet.
What advice would you give a Rookie joining the Surge: if you want to be a good
player at this or any other sport. You have to put the effort in off the pitch ,in your own
time just as much as you do when your on the field

that tape on and off
