In what seemed to be a never-ending semi-pro football season, 2005 has finally come to an end with the Daly City California Renegades capturing the American Football Association’s 26th Annual National Championship.
The Daly City (San Francisco, California) Renegades concluded its 2005 season by defeating the previously undefeated South Ogden-Rhino Raiders 41-14.
The game was played at Kezar Stadium (former home of the San Francisco 49ers). The Daly City team finished the year with a 19-1 record and the “number-one-team” in the AFA national season ending “power-ratings”. The Renegades collected 1 league championship (GSAFL), 1 state championship (California), 1 regional championship (Far West), I super-regional championship (MLFA), before being named the AFA’s 2005 National Champs. In route to the AFA honor the Renegades clicked off 18 straight wins after losing their opening league game.
For their efforts during such a successful semi-pro football season the Renegade players will have their names engraved on the AFA Arthur S. Arkush Memorial Cup as the 26th semi-pro football team to win an AFA National Championship. Adding the Daly City player names to the Arkush Cup will bring the quarter century trophy engraving tradition to a total of 1328 names.
The Renegade organization will be presented with a 2005 AFA National AAA Championship banner during an AFA (West Coast) Alumni Club ‘breakfast meeting’ in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, April 1st, 2006. The AFA Alumni Club will gather in Vegas in support of the National Football Events Casino Bowl All-Star Game played on that same day. Several AFA Hall of Fame ‘Legends’ are involved with the Casino Bowl weekend events.
