University of Gloucestershire Gladiators

The Gloucestershire Gladiators are an American football team based at the University of Gloucestershire. At the 2007 BSAFA AGM, the Gladiators were voted in as full members of the British Collegiate American Football League, meaning they will compete in a full league season beginning Autumn 2007.
Team history was made on Sunday February 18th 2007 as the Gladiators took on Bristol Barracuda in their first ever match. Approximately 200 fans watched a 30-0 victory for Bristol at the Prince of Wales Stadium in Cheltenham. Two weeks later, the teams met again and once again Bristol came out winners, 14-0.
At the beginning of the 2009/10 season the Gladiators reached another milestone, as their first touchdown was scored by running back Chris Nash in a defeat to the Bath Killer Bees in a pre season scrimmage match.
The Gladiators recorded their first victory on the 21st of February 2010 as they beat Bath Spa University 20-14 at the Folley in Cheltenham.
