Next Home Game

     The next home game for the FDNY Bravest will be against the San Diego Enforcers on Saturday, May 18th at Port Richmond High School, Staten Island, NY. Kickoff is slated for 1:00 pm.

     This will be a re-match of the 2012 NPSFL Championship, which the Enforcers won 16-15 in the final seconds. The Bravest had just taken the lead with about a minute and a half to go, when the San Diego team went down the field and scored with just 27 seconds remaining. It was a heartbreaker, in San Diego.

     But, the Bravest hope to rectify the situation on home turf. Come out and see the results!!!

Bravest Fall to Charlotte

     It took them 59 minutes and 30 seconds, but the Brsvest put up the points to make it interesting at the end. Trailing 7-0 at the half, the FDNY defense was stingy as usual, the ball went back and forth for all of the third and fourth quarters until the Bravest made one last ditch effort. Moving down the field in the waning minutes and seconds, Ryan Davan hit Brian Vomero for a 7 yard touchdown. But, on the point-after, one of the Charlotte Cobras was able to elevat himself high enough to block the extra-point. It was an incredible play and gave the home-tpown team the victory. Bravest fall 7-6 to the Charlotte Cobras.

     The Bravest' next game is on Saturday, May 18th, 1:00 pm vs the San Diego Enforcers. The Enforcers beat the FDNY in the final seconds of last year's National Championship. This is definitely a pay-back game. So, come on doen to Port Richmond High School in Staten Island to see how it all un-folds!!!

Bravest Open With Win vs DSNY

      The FDNY Football Team started slow, but they were able to shake off the rust in the second half to come away with a victory.  The first half showed the Bravest team on the losing side of a 6 - 0 score. But, some tweaks and adjustments at halftime got the Bravest on the right treack for the second half.

    The FDNY received the ball to start the second half, and promptly marched down the field. QB Ryan Davan was able to sneak one in from the 1 yard line. An extra point by George Oostmeijer put the Bravest ahead 7-6.

     That was all the scoring in the third quarter, but the beginning of the 4th quarter showed the Bravest marching again. A 28 yard pass from Davan to WR Brian Vomero, who made a great effort to come back to the ball, helped to set up the FDNY's next score. A three yard run by RB John Cazilas. The point after was blocked, making the score 13-6 in favor of the Bravest.

     The Bravest defense was stingy, as usual. The fourth quarter was helped considerably by newcomer Edison Gbor breaking up a big pass. An interception from Alex Pagan allowied the FDNY offense to take over again late in the 4th quarter. John Cazilas had a 44 yard run to get the Bravest to the DSNY 2 yard line. 2 plays later, Casilas was running the ball in again to put the FDNY on top 19-6. Oostmeijer connected again for the point after giving us our final score of 20-6 in favor of the FDNY Bravest.

     The Bravest take the show on the road for their next game. Heading to Charlotte, NC on May 4th vs the Charlotte Cobras.

Bravest Football - No Easy Day

A Gentle Giant Is Among The Angels

     It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of one of our team's long time leaders and huge supporters. Martin "Woody" McHale was taken from us way too soon. Woody, a fire marshal with the department, played with the BFC for many years before becoming a hugely active alumni. Always finding it difficult to stay away from the team, Woody spent a lot of time supporting the Bravest, but not quite as much as the time he put into his beautiful family. Woody leaves behind his wife, Hope, and two beautiful twin boys.
