2011
In 2011 the Bournemouth Bobcats stepped into their first competitive season in American Football since the early 90's. After losing their opening three matches the Bobcats bounced back against the Gloucester Banshees beating them both away then at home to go 2-3 with a new offensive co-ordinator. In following games the Bobcats lost away at South Wales and at home to the eventual Division Winners Reading in a close game. The Bobcats then had a fantastic win against the well established Cornish Sharks beating them at home 20-12. Following another win against their main rivals the Bristol Apache at home and a loss in the final game to South Wales the Bobcats ended their first season 4-6, which is very unheard of for a new team in the league to have more than 1 or 2 wins.
In 2012 the Bobcats saw an improvement with a 5-4-1 season, coming third in the BAFA Division 2 West.
2013 sees a change in roles for coaching staff, with a few players missing due to other commitments and a few new rookies entering the frame.
