Clyde Valley Blackhawks v Mill United Dad's

Clyde Valley Blackhawks American football team took the field on Saturday at the Hamilton Place grounds  to play a differant kind of football.The Blackhawks have a few members who play both games (American football and soccer )and were asked if they would play a charity match against Mill Utd.

The game started well for Mill Utd and before the Blackhawks could get to grips with the pace of the game they were 2 v 0 down . As the game progressed the youthfulness and fitness of the Blackhawks started to pay off . Ryan Rodgers was tormenting the Mill Utd defence and kept springing the offside trap , this allowed Kriss Henderson to bag a hat trick although the Blackhawks went 3 v 2 up the Utd team did not give in easily and got the game back to 4 all .

Darren Darroch hit a free kick which went straight through the wall to again put the Blackhawks into the lead . This was where they were to stay when Gary Orr gave them a bit of breathing space to take the score to 6 v 4 .

The Blackhawks would like to extend their thanks to Mill United for the Game and wish them all the best for the future  It is thought that around £150 was raised for charity on the day
