Jersey Justice
Encyclopedia
The Jersey Justice are an Independent Women's Tackle Football Team based in Carteret, New Jersey
. The team was formed in 2008 with many former players and staff from the New Jersey Titans. Home games in 2011 are to be played on the campus of St. John Vianney High School in Holmdel, NJ. Prior to 2011 they played all Home games at Carteret High School. The Justice have elected to not finish the 2011 season after playing only 3 games and look to compete again in 2012.
. Once the NWFA folded, however, the Justice began play in the spring 2009 season as a member of the Independent Women's Football League
. In the team's inaugural season, they earned a spot in the league's Divisional Playoff Game, defeating the New England Intensity
by a score of 30-7 and advanced to the league's Regional Championship Game (Tier II Semifinal), losing to the Montreal Blitz
by a score of 9-8.
2010 proved to be an even better season record-wise, as the Justice finished 6-1. However, because of the IWFL's playoff method, the Justice were left out of the postseason (only two teams per division got to go, and the Justice finished third behind the Montreal Blitz and New England Intensity-coincidentally the same two teams they faced in the previous year's postseason).
For the 2011 season, the Justice will be playing as an Independent team.
