Glasgow Tigers 60 V
Northumberland Lightning 16
Sunday 14th
June 2015
The Tigers welcomed
Northumberland to Lochinch and set to work quickly , when Linebacker Robert
Poore recovered the ball for the Tigers and then Quarterback Darnell Starks hit
Anthony Rice for the opening score. Mo Adams added the conversion run and an 8-
0 lead.
The Tigers increased
that lead when Linebacker JJ Crawford added a safety mid way through the first
quarter. Then the Lightning came back into the game and pinned Glasgow down on
their own one yard line , and a bad snap hit the posts and Ben Harris recovered
for the Northumberland touchdown score. The Tigers defence stopped the
conversion.
The Tigers offense then
stepped up a gear and Starks found Scott Vallance with a touchdown pass. A huge
60 yard punt return from Glasgows Robb Gould gave them a short field and this
time Starks passed to Liam Baird for another score while Starks ran in the
conversion.
As the quarter was just
about to end another Starks pass found Robb Gould waiting in the end zone ,
while Mo Adams ran in the conversion.
The Tigers had a 32 – 6
halftime lead and increased that with the first play of the second half when
David McLintock had an 86 yard kick off return for a touchdown .
To their credit the
Lightning never gave up and had a safety when Ben Harris harrassed the Tigers
QB in the endzone. A short Mo Adams run increased the Tigers lead to 44 - 8 as
the third quarter ended.
The final quarter saw
Starks connect again with Scott Vallance for another Tigers touchdown pass ,
while Liam Baird ran in the conversion.
Northumberland fought
back and Ross Conley scored on a long 58yard run , while Reece
Salkeld added the Lightning conversion. A big Mo Adams run set up the Tigers
final score of the day when Fearghus Maher bulldozed his way in for a 25 yard touchdown
run. Tigers runningback Andy Reid added the conversion run to make it 60 – 16
for the Tigers.
