Dragons aim to maintain Bowl course
May 21, 2003 - National Football League Europa (NFLE) News Release
THE race to World Bowl XI in Glasgow, Scotland, on June 14 continues with this weekend's action likely to help the postseason picture in NFL Europe become a little clearer.
The F.C. Barcelona Dragons (5-2) have a one-game lead in the standings and will look to stay in first place when they host the Frankfurt Galaxy on Saturday May 24. Also going head to head on Saturday are the Scottish Claymores (3-4) and Amsterdam Admirals (3-4), with both teams knowing they can ill afford a loss if they are to remain in the World Bowl race.
The final game in Week 8 takes place on Sunday May 25 as the Berlin Thunder (2-5) look to keep their slim World Bowl hopes alive when they visit the Rhein Fire (4-3).
Injury categories are as follows:
Out - Definitely will not play
Doubtful - 75 percent chance will not play
Questionable - 50/50 chance of playing
Probable - Virtual certainty of playing
