Lincolnshire Bombers American Football Team –
The Lincolnshire Bombers are a non-profit American Football team currently based out of North Hykeham, competing in Division 2 BAFA Football. The side has been in its current form since 2005 while previous versions of the county’s team have been around since the 1980s.
Being part of one of the fastest growing sports in the UK & Europe, the Bombers promote the positive impacts and experiences of American Football. These include the cultivation of strategic thinking, teamwork, physical strength, resilience, all unified within the framework of a closely-knit family.
What does 2024 hold for us?
Prior to the season start, the Bombers are already holding introductory Rookie Days through October into December, where lots of new faces will get to see what we’re all about.
In the 2024 season, the Lincolnshire Bombers will play a minimum of 8 games throughout the season between April – August. Four of which will be held at our home training ground in North Hykeham, Lincoln. Pending our 2024 schedule, we will also travel for at least four away games, with further gameday opportunities possible should we make our way back to the playoffs. Over the past couple of seasons, our team of 50+ players and coaches have travelled to face opponents in Staffordshire, Humber, Shropshire, Crewe & more.

We’re not just a team, we’re a family. Players, coaches & committee often get together to celebrate their teammates on and off the field. With a roster of over 50 active players & coaches & more expected through our recruitment process, we can fill up a bar pretty well! We host a yearly awards night to celebrate the best of the best, and are keen on Super Bowl parties & NFL season starters too!
