Drimnagh Cycos 6 Leicester Europa Eagles 26

Drimnagh Cycos hosted the English Senior Flag League Champions Leicester Europa Eagles in Marlay Park, Dublin, for the 8th Anglo-Irish Flag Football Challenge. The Cycos defense intercepted Eagles QB Chris Wild on their first two drives, Liam Farrell and Aidan Kelly getting the picks. Defense dominated the early stages of this game as the Eagles got to the Cycos 1 yard line, only to fail to find a receiver on 4th down. [1]

Leicester’s James Hossack intercepted Aidan Kelly and the Eagles got the go-ahead touchdown on the following drive – riuunning back Ryan Melbourne sweeping down the right -hand side. Again the Cycos offense was stopped, and the Eagles went in 14-0 up at half-time after Chris Broughton found Hossack with an option pass. Chris Wild completed passes to Wide Receiver Tom Gill on both of these touchdowns to add extra points. [1]

To start the second half Broughton found Alastair Coulthurst with a short pass, which the Tight End took all the way into the endzone. Hossack got a second interception, and the ensuing drive saw him catch a Broughton Pass in the endzone to put Leicester 26-0 up. Drimnagh scored a consolatoiion TD after Steve Dunn weaved through the Leicester defense following a short pass from QB Aidan Kelly. [1]
