About Bryan Dilberian:
While on a routine patrol an IED exploded. Instantly Bryan’s best friend PFC Jimmy Waters was killed. In that moment Bryan was also hit by shrapnel himself and critically wounded. His battle began. On the field he was given first aid and within 4 days journeyed to Kandahar, Germany, and home to the United States. Initially Bryan lost an enormous amount of blood, but miraculously the fighter in him held on. Bryan lost both legs below the knee and his left arm below the elbow.

Bravest Fall To LAPD 19 - 7

     The FDNY suffered a loss in league play, making back to back National Championships almost impossible. On the road and light due to injuries, the Bravest held on until the seven minute mark remaining in the game, before succumbing to the Centurions.

     Halftime had the score tied at zero, with both defenses being very stingy. But, the LAPD started off the second half by marching the ball right down the field for a score. A missed PAT kept the score at 6-0. The Bravest opened up the fourth quarter by moving within striking distance, then a Ryan Davan to Brian Vomero 23 yard touchdown pass. George Oostmeijer added the extra point to make it a 7-6 FDNY lead.

     Both teams had opportunities, but the LAPD capitalized on a bomb with about seven minutes to go in the game, making it 12-6 after a missed two point conversion attempt.

     The Bravest got the ball back, then gave it back to the Centurions, then forced a fumble to make the game exciting again. But, it wasn't to be the Bravest' day. Another score by LAPD and the ensuing PAT made it 19-7 and sent the Bravest home with a bad feeling. It's a long plane ride home...

     The FDNY will next take on the LAFD Heat on Saturday, May 19th at Port Richmond High School in Staten Island. Kickoff is set for 1:00. This game will be played for Wounded Warrior Bryan Dilberian. Half the proceeds from the gate will go to building Bryan a "Smart Home". You can buy tickets here on line or at the game. Please come out and support...

Bravest Win 10 - 0

     First of all, thank you to everyone who bought a ticket for the game against the DC Generals. You helped us to raise much needed money for one of our own.

     The Bravest started off 2012 like they finished 2011...WINNING!!! With 3:45 to go in the first quarter, Paul Neuman bulled one in from the 1 yard line to get the FDNY on the board. George Oostmeijer followed with the extra point. But, that drive couldn't have been possible without some nice passes from Ryan Davan to Anthony Abbatemarco and Brian Vomero.

     Late in the first half, Antony Petito had a sack forcing a fumble which the Bravest recovered, setting up a 42 -yard field goal attempt for Oostmeijer. But, the kick was blocked, and the teams went into the locker room with the FDNY leading 10 - 0.

     In the third quarter, the Bravest were able to get into Oostmeijer's range again, and this time the fans were not disappointed. George connected from 36 yards to give the FDNY a 10-0 lead, and that's how the game would end.

     The FDNY next travel to Los Angeles to play their opponent from the 2011 Championship game, hopefully the results will be the same.
