As part of the wider Bristol Football brand refresh, we’re proud to introduce a new, distinct logo for the Aztecs development team, the @bristol_apache — revealed by Gary Gardener to players and staff during the Apache’s first OTA of the 2026 season. Since their inception, the Apache have shared the Aztecs logo. But while we are one Bristol Football family, Apache and Aztec warriors represent different cultures and histories. This update was an important step in respecting that distinction, while giving the Apache a visual identity that is truly their own. This new mark represents growth, maturity, and pride — honoring the Apache’s unique journey, culture, and achievements, while remaining clearly connected to the wider Bristol Football pathway. It’s a milestone moment. A recognition of identity. And a symbol of where the Apache are headed next. by @bristol_apache
Belatedly (admins fault again), the Apache are delighted to announce our MVPs from our final game vs the Bournemouth Bobcats! STMVP goes to LB Jacob Ankah! As well as being an absolute menace when on the defence, Jacob had a great game on special teams! A hard runner on kick off and punt it was his punt return reps, where he caused chaos for the Bobcats units! DMVP goes to LB Ben Cross! Captain Cross lead the Defence brilliantly all game. A dominant display across the field including 2 interceptions…1 of which he ran all the way back to the 5 before being forced out short of a TD. A great performance. OMVP goes to RB Ed Green! On a really tough field, Ed was a menace for the Bobcats Defence! Carrying the ball 15 times for 63 yards at an average of 4.2 yards per carry and a TD! A great outing for the RB! Congratulations to all our MVPs! #WarApache #RollTribe by @bristol_apache
Looking back on a high charged AFL Sunday at @rocknribsfestival 🏈 The @bristol_apache VS. @bmouthbobcats hosted by the @bristolaztecs 🔥 📸 @turnitup.creative 📸 @jaystoneuk 📸 @_benslens.events • • • • • #americanfootball #rocknribs #afl by @bristol_apache
Apache Win! The Tribe ran out victorious in a 23-0 shutout against the Bobcats! Playing in a unique environment at the Rock N Ribs Festival the Apache were on it from the first whistle! An early INT from Captain, LB Ben Cross put the Tribes offence in good position but the Bobcats forced a stop on the 1! Another INT by DB Hayden Lee gave more good field position but again the Bobcats D stood tall close to their endzone and forced a FG, with a tough field K Scott Gay was unable to get the direction and the kick went wide. Another INT by Hayden was pulled back from being a pick 6 for a flag for taunting, the RockNRibs cameras proving to irresistible to the DB! The Apache O picked up the drive as the qtr ended and as the 2nd qtr started it was RB Fabio Jesus, cutting up through the middle for the opening TD, K Scott Gay with the XP! The Apache D was having a day, once again forcing the Bobcats to try a 3rd down quick punt…without success. The Tribe were set up in good field position and RB Ed Green would eventually power home. The XP was no good! The Apache going in 13-0 up at the half! The second half was a disjointed affair with wholesale changes, injuries and some great plays! The Bobcats caught the Apache special teams out, just converting a 4th down punt fake! But the inevitability of the Apache D forced a turnover. QB Fin Hughes now in the game, threw a dart across the middle, which was caught superbly by WR Jack Waite, who, breaking 2 tackles, sprinted clear for a 54 yard TD, K Scott Gay with another XP! The game slowly fizzled to a finish with the Apache D continuing to have their way, lead by Captain Josh Sheppard with 3 sacks (1 strip sack), Sam James (1) and Billy Evans recording his 1st sack of the season. The Tribe recorded a final score, after another Ben Cross INT, the LB powered towards the endzone but was forced out of bounds which lead to K Scott Gay converting a FG for a final score of 23-0! A huge thank you to @rocknribsfestival , to our volunteers for helping us on gameday, to our loyal band of supporters for travelling and supporting us and to the Bobcats for travelling and getting involved in the whole experience! by @bristol_apache

With Admin now restored to normal, its time for us to announce our MVPs for our game at Hereford Stampede! STMVP goes to DB Joe Collins! On a tough field, specials teams and field position were key! Joe was excellent on the day, key blocks on kick and punt returns, helping to sniff out a fake punt, it was his 3 kick off tackles that secured the MVP, each tackle stopping any Stampede momentum. DMVP goes to, in an unusual move, the whole Defensive Line. The DL was an absolute menace all day against the Stampede. Racking up 8 sacks as a unit, multiple TFLs and applying constant pressure they were an unstoppable force. Sacks coming from Josh Sheppard, Scott Gay, Sam James (2 each), Simon Rooney & Kelcey Howell (1 each and the 1st for Kelcey). OMVP goes to RB Fabio Jesus! Making his first start for the Apache, Fabs got the Tribe marching when, backed up inside our own 10, he broke right and unleashed a blistering 82 yard run for a TD! Not content he took another…much shorter hand off in for a TD in the 3rd quarter. Fabs finished the day with over 100 yards and 2 TDs! Congratulations to all our MVPs! #WarApache #RollTribe by @bristol_apache
Admin may have taken a well deserved break….or he forgot to post MVPs from our last 2 games! Starting with our game vs South Wales Warriors! STMVP goes to WR/R Harry Owen! In a back and forth game, Harry made some superb returns, showing great speed and hitting his gaps well. But for some last ditch tackles he would’ve taken at least 1 to the house! DMVP goes to LB Alex Moorefield! Against a solid Warriors outfit, Morph was an absolute tackling machine. In hot, tough conditions against a heavy running attack, he threw himself at everything to help the D force key stops. OMVP goes to TE Connor Day! With a lack of Oline, the TE stepped in and played superbly against an always tough Warriors front. Considering he was coming off injury also this makes Connors effort even better and he’s a worthy MVP! Congratulations to all our MVPs! #WarApache #RollTribe by @bristol_apache
Apache Win! The Tribe put in an excellent performance as they walked away from Hereford victorious. After a scoreless 1st quarter where the defence laid their marker for the day, racking up sacks and TFLs, it wasnt until the 2nd quarter, where DB Hayden Lee picked off the Stampede QB and out paced the chasing players for a TD! Hereford answered back with a FG and had the Tribe pinned back from the KR. But they hadnt factored on RB, Fabio Jesus, making his 1st Apache start, to take the handoff 82 yards for a TD! Hereford answered with a TD of their own in the back of the endzone, but the Apache D held firm on the 2 point play…and this was the last time Hereford would visit the redzone! The Tribe were up 14-9 at the half! The Apache came out flying in the 3rd quarter! After a good return set the Offence up, RB Fabio Jesus, running to his right grabbed his 2nd of the day. The RB finishing with 2 scores and over 100 yards on his first start. QB Fin Hughes now in the game found WR James Nyarko, who sprinted 30 yards to the house for both his and Hughes first Apache TD! From the resulting kick off an excellent tackle from DB Joe Collins kept the Stampede from big yards…and a few plays later it was LB Ben Cross, making a great INT plucking it out of the air and returning it 40 yards for another Apache pick 6!! K/LB James Baines now 5 for 5 on XPs. The Apache D was in full flow now, DT Kelcey Howell smashing through for his first sack and immediately following it up with a massive TFL in a great series for the rookie. The DL was feasting all day, making sack after sack after Josh Sheppard(2), Sam James(2), Scott Gay(2) and Simon Rooney(1) made it 8 on the day for the big men up front and 10 on the day for the Apache. The 4th quarter saw wholesale changes on all units, QB Hughes continuing under centre, supported by RBs Robbie Macgregor and Shaun Griffin. The Tribe threatened to add to the score, but a solid Hereford stand and a missed XP by Baines saw the game meander to a final score of Apache 35-9 Stampede. The Tribe now look forward to their final game of the season, in what is promising to be a huge occasion against the Bobcats! by @bristol_apache
