The website that celebrates Bristol's first American Football Club -

Bristol Bombers, who were inaugurated in 1984 and who folded in 1986 after financial and political wrangles.

Bristol Bombers played only friendlies and controlled scrimmage games during their existence, including their first competitive controlled scrimmage at Plymouth Admirals and a full friendly at Walthamstow Warriors (later to become Lee Valley Warriors) in 1985. Bristol lost both games, although they scored their first-ever touchdown to lead at Walthamstow 6-0 after James Williams successfully returned the kick-off for a TD. The Bombers eventually lost the game 6-60!

After securing the services of a handfull of USAF Airmen from nearby RAF Fairford, the Bombers enjoyed some success and won several matches during their second season in 1986.
