Would have to be the Cheadle Dons
I used to play for the Brighton B-52ss, no idea why we were called that.
Team with the best name when I was playing, and probably ever, was the Staines Removers. Genius.
Ely Eels
Peterculter pirates i guess , our ice hockey team would be the aberdeen oilers- after the edmonton oilers.
I used to go and watch the B52's in the late 80's because a guy I worked with was a running back for them, daveosaurus

There actually used to be the Granite City Oilers. Back in the 80's I think.
I believe we now have the roughnecks....
I'd go for the Crathes Cheils myself 
Who was that wwaswas? I only played in the senior team in 1992 or 93 but was in the juniors for 4 or 5 years before that so fair chance I'll remember him
On the flipside looking at MLS teams there's clearly a split for traditional football/soccer and harum scarum names

Could do with an Athletic or a Town in there somewhere.
something strange like
Chalk Forgers
or Cliffe Quarriers
Daveosaurus - Graham Court, think he ended up stopping due to a knee injury. Moved to Australia, took nationality in the end and represented them as a sprinter at the 'senior Olympics' (quite what senior means, I've no idea!).
Black Country Smog
....there was actually a Black Country Nailers
Wolverhampton Werewolves
....there was actually a wolverhampton outlaws
Stourbridge Lions (Stourbridge Lion, built in Stourbridge, first Locomotive to ever run on tracks in America.
....there was actually a Stourbridge Pumas
Wollaston Islanders (due to the island in the centre of the village)
or Wollaston villigers
I've seen the Sandwell Steelers play this year and they are a well run outfit.
where are the Ouse Valley lot going to be playing their home games?
Compton Gangstas.
Mine IS called the Alkerton Badgers. In our local ESPN Fantasy American Football league that is
wwaswas- recognise the name but think he'd packed it in before I joined the seniors.
Just looked on YouTube and found a video of the last game I ever played in. Against the Leicester Panthers in the quarter finals and we got whipped bad!
Whathaveisaidnow - Ouse Valley still play their games in Bedford. But they now have come and try sessions in MK, Northampton, St Neots and Luton so are recruiting from a wider area than before. They did pretty well last season. Won their division quite easily and lost their semi final in overtime.
cheers Hammer, where do they play in Bedford? I'm down there occasionally, might try and catch a game next season, but far too old to be running about. Although i was the John Elway of my generation in our touch football team!! 😀
The pitch is behind the athletic stadium. You get to it by going through the athletic stadium car park, on to the field where the rugby pitch is, then alongside the stadium fence, through the gap in the hedge and you will be at the American football pitch.
The Clapton Cockney Rejects
The Shropshire Lads.
Bath Plugs???
Malvern Hillbillys (although that was used by the local BMX track in the 80's)
Dundee Lawbreakers
The Selkirk Bannocks
Local derby would be against the Gala Pailmerks
Ilkeston Inbreds
*runs and hides*
Our local AM team is called the Worcs black knights & the Uni team are the Worcs Royals
Used to watch the Birmingham Bulls & the now defunct Redditch Arrows

I saw the Bulls play quite a bit in the past - notably in a final down Crystal Palace where Russ Jenson didn't show up to play QB.
I was also at Villa Park for Summerbowl 1 where the Bulls were expected to be in it but lost to Streatham Olympians in the semi's, going on to lose at Villa to London Ravens who were the bee's knees at that time.
Most my time was spent watching Stourbridge Pumas, and playing in thier loosly affiliated touch football youth team the Kingswinford Cobras at QB, great arm!!
I watched the bulls win at palace with a field goal from "spider web" 2 mins from time against the O's Trevor McCarthy was the RB, bad knees and all
the Dunblane Dominators
or Dunblane Dunderheids - if they lost...

actually just discovered the game i saw was actually when they lost to Manchester Spartans in Bud Bowl III with Jensom missing through money dispute.
The Bridgend Bridge Swingers....
or maybe that would be the tug of war team, if they can be trusted not to run off with the rope!!!
