Nick is the first Baltimore Dockers player to reach the 50-game milestone. More milestone players will soon follow!

Nick played his 50th game last Saturday at Lower Perkiomen Valley Park just outside Philadelphia, in the first game of a doubleheader against the New York Magpies. The Dockers held the Magpies goalless in the first half, but not the second, as the Magpies went on to win by a score of 38-11.

Dockers drop two in DC

Last Saturday, the Baltimore Dockers traveled to West Potomac Park in Washington, DC for a rematch of the two games from two weeks ago. Unfortunately, the Dockers dropped both games to fall to 1-3.

In the first game, the Dockers fell to the rival DC Eagles 53-13.

In the second game, the Dockers led most of the game against a combined side from the Philadelphia Hawks and Richmond Lions, but fell after their opponents rallied a four-goal comeback by a final score of 40-32.

The Dockers next take the field on Saturday, August 14th at the USAFL Eastern Regionals in Philadelphia.

Dockers finish 1-1 in opening round

Last Saturday, the Baltimore Dockers returned to official U.S. Australian Football League (USAFL) competition for the first time since the 2019 USAFL Division 2 Grand Final.

The Dockers played host to round 1 of the 2021 season, which played out as a round-robin series featuring the Dockers, the DC Eagles, and the Philadelphia Hawks at Baltimore’s Patterson Park.

In game 1, the Dockers fought bravely but fell to the Eagles by the score of 57-9.

In game 2, the Eagles women’s team defeated the Hawks women’s team, 45-15.

In game 3, the Dockers came back for a convincing win over the Hawks, 73-26.

Game 4 between the Eagles’ and Hawks’ men’s teams was cancelled due to severe thunderstorms.
