Below is the play that cost the Monarchs the game vs Steelers. Coach Greg was furious and ran accross the field after game and complained to the referee about the blown call. The referee indicated that #32 hit a defense less play when in fact # 32 hit the guard #45 who failed to move when the ball was snapped. This play was perfectly legal Coach Greg later stated. Plus the back judge not the side should have made the call. The referee cheated my kids all day.

Monarchs teach Steelers a Harsh Lesson
Recovering from a week two slap in the face at the hands of the No Limit Hurricanes, the young Monarchs (135's) were hungry to do some winning. And that's exactly what they did putting there offensive weapons on display for league newcomer the Hard Knock Steelers. It feels good to get that first win Coach Gene said. But truth be told, I'm not satisfied. We left some points on the table and we should have shut this team out. We also got a little sloppy down the stretch and gave up a cheap touchdown. Other than that, the Monarchs played a near flawless game and cruised to a 41-6 victory. The Monarchs were lead by running back A. Gleplay and quarterback TJ. Harmon with each scoring a pair of touchdowns apiece.
In the midget (160's) game, the Monarchs dominated from beginning to end and crushed the Steelers 34-6. The Monarchs set the tone early with two quick touchdown and never looked back. I'm happy with win Coach Greg said but we proved nothing today except the fact that we beat an inferior football team today. They were big and slow. And did what we was suppose to do.
The Monarch Midgets are 3-0 and have a date with the Dynasty Dragons looming. In preparation for the dragons the Monarchs (160's) will step out of conference for the next couple weeks to play non league teams yet to be determined. FYI, the Dynasty is not looming, Coach Greg said. Its just another game. There checking for us and talking about "Were Next" nonsense after they beat the "Caines today. Its funny to me Caoch Greg said. We both have an open date on our schedule at the same time but I don't hear them call us for a game. We can settle this on a neutral site and give the fans what they want.

Hurricanes frustrate Monarchs
The Monarchs endured a frustrating day of football Saturday against the No Limit Hurricanes. The 75lbs team forfeited. The 105lb team got slapped around 34-0 and the 135lbs team dropped a tough decision 33-12. The only bright spot of the day was the 160lb team as they eased passed the much larger 'Caines 27-6.
In the Junior Pee Wee game (105lbs), I knew we would be in for a little trouble Coach Greg said. Why? The 'Caines were huge and we haven't seen a team that big since we played West Oak Lane last year. I think they had around 25 players and about five or six of them were under 100 pounds. Matter fact, the only kids they had under 100 pounds were there older/lighters which by rule can not weigh more that 94 pounds padded up. Bottom line size mattered in this contest Coach Gene said. Couple that with the fact that the Monarch defense spent most of the afternoon on the field and you got the perfert formula for disaster. I looked at the game tape. And no disrespect to the 'Caines but they did not do anything special. We just simply missed tackles and lined up out of position. We made it easy for them. Thus we certainly deserved the whooping we got on Saturday Coach Greg said. And like I said before, we've just got a lot of work ahead of us .
In the Junior Midget (135lb) game, the Monarchs actually jumped out to a 7-0 lead on the 'Caines. But as predicted by offensive line coach JD, the storm came and with it came 27 unanswered points. By the time the Monarchs responded with a 60 yard TD run by A. Gleplay, the Monarchs were facing a three touchdown deficit. We had our opportunities to change the game Coach Gene said but negative plays such as sacks and turnovers simply killed us. Even a spectacular one handed interception by E. Glibi was not enough to motivate the young Monarchs.
Well folks, its gut check time around Monarch nation as this week they prepare to face league newcomer the Hard Knock Steelers from Christina, Delaware. I heard they had a pretty rough weekend against the Dragons. But in case you forgot, were not them. We play to totally different styles of football. I'm not saying ones better than the other because only time will tell. I just like the hand I got this year and I think we got something for that double wing / power I offense they run down there on 69th street.
E. Gbili one handed interception!!!

Monarchs vs Hurricanes - Inside Access
On Saturday, the Delco Monarchs will entertain the No Limit Hurricanes. Now, on the surface, this seems like any other Delaware Valley Pop Warner game. But, truth be told it's not. According to Coach Meat from the Hurricanes, they feel disrespected. They blanked Chester last year 35-0. And they took the Dynasty into overtime before falling in the league championship game. So yes folks, the Hurricanes have a chip on there shoulder. Especially since they are returning nearly the whole team from last year.
The Monarchs on the other hand think they are the team to beat in the Del- Val. And, according to Coach Gene, they are returning at least fifteen starters from last year's 120 team whose only loss came too the Dynasty. We are big, fast and strong and the Hurricanes will see this Saturday.
Bottom line, we missed the playoffs last year because of paper work coach Greg said. So we too have a chip on our shoulders. We too have something to prove also.
We know the Hurricanes are comming to play. We know the Hurricanes play the game the right way. So it should be very interesting. I think the team who makes the least mistakes is going to win this contest Coach Gene said. On the other hand offensive line Coach JD of the Hurricanes stated his team will do there talking on the field. He believes the Monarchs are trying to convenice themselves they will survive the Hurricane that's coming to Darby.
Folks, its should be interesting this Saturday at Penn Wood Middle School with the games set to begin at 10:00am. See you at the field.

Monarchs 105's Dismantle Trojans
With rivarly games, most people usually don't know what to expect. However, in the case of the Monarchs and Trojans these games have been hotly contested over the last few years with the Trojans holding a slight advantage. Yesterday's annual showdown yielded a slightly different results as the Monarchs waxed the Trojans 32 - 0.
"I thought we played our game" Coach Greg said. We ran the ball a little bit. We threw the ball a little bit. Truth be told, I just didn't want to go overboard one way or another. And outside of the fumble by T. Harmon, my kids looked sharp today. But we've got a lot of work ahead of us especially with the No Limit Hurricanes coming to the "Boro" next week and teams like the Cats and the Dragons looming.
The Monarchs defense which dominated early and often forced a turnover by the Trojans on the third play of the game which resulted in a 60 yard fumble recovery for a touchdown. Offensively, the Monarchs were led by powerfull fullback K. Wilson Jr who had two towndowns and close to 100 yards rushing on 7 attempts. Quarterback, G. Rhaney and halfback T. Harmon also pitched in with a touchdown a piece.
Next up for the Delco Monarchs are the No Limit Hurricanes from Wilmington Delaware. In most people minds, at least the ones who follow Monarch football, this game is a revenge game because the Hurricanes put the Monarchs out the playoffs last year when they escaped with a 25-18 victory. The game albeit is between the 105's and not the 160's but the feeling is still the same. "They put us out the playoffs and we need to redeem ourselves organizationally " Coach Gene said. Bottom line.
Game time next is as follows:
10am - 75's
12 noon - 105's
2pm - 135's
4:30 - 160's
Game Location: Penn Wood Middle School 7th and Cedar Avenue - Darby
Come out and support the home team... Go Monarchs..............
Outside linebacker blitzing from the strong side!!!!
Simple Dive play bounced outside. (Defense stacked the A Gap!!)
Vintage Monarch Play.. Watch the safety freeze looking at the fake!!
Hold the runner up, and put a helmet on the ball...
