Recap
London Ravens silenced their critics who said they would not hold on to the title with a 41-0 defeat of Blackpool’s Fylde Falcons, keeping their starters on the field the whole game in a tribute to the Lancashire team. Falcons Quarterback Pat Brennan, an Irish name, experienced pressure which he reportedly never experienced before in Britain, as he was pinned down all game. Mike Delaney, another Irish name, scored a 31-yard pass from QB Ron Roberts in the second quarter in the play of the game to put the Ravens 20-0 up.
