Roanoke Firefighters Flag Football
The Roanoke Firefighters have established a flag football team. Headed up by the guys at 2 C Shift, the team has practiced several times and played one game. The team consists of somewhere around 20 firefighters. Roanoke County has also established a team and they were our opponent for the first game. Unfortunately we lost. I am not sure of the score, but I do understand that all of the guys really had a good time. I also heard that there was a pretty decent crowd on hand to watch the first game.
Why flag football, you might ask. Because if it were tackle football it would more than likely turn into a bloodbath, and because we are not able to work if we are injured.
I was able to practice with the team at one of the practices although I could not make it to the game. It is always good when the guys get some time away from the job and their part time jobs and get together for some good clean fun.
If anyone has pictures of the event, send them in so I can post them.
Look for the Roanoke Firefighters flag football team to play again sometime soon. I think that Salem is planning on getting a team together.

After listening to the city talking crap few weeks the countys smaller slower team that only practiced 3 times beat the 30+ people that showed up to play for the city 18 to 12, city only scored after we lost a few people to injury... Rematch??? I think you guys better start with Salems team before stepping up to get smacked down again.

Rematch... Lets do it. and by the way trashtalk, If you remember your coach called back a city touchdown and a city safety. because he decided to change the rules at the last minute. which might have changed the decision, but who cares. Rematch!!! put the woman and children to bed, It's dinner time!
