Report
______________________________________________________________________________
Drimnagh Cycos won the first ever International Flag Football match played by either Irish or British teams. They scored two Rushing Touchdowns in the first half, one from Liam Farrell and the second from young QB Aiden Kelly before the Leicester defense tightened up and they got one back in the second half through Rich Manning scoring on a short pass from QB Chris Wild.
