Weather conditions were not conducive to good Football but all the teams battled hard and produced some exciting games.

The Broncos won the coin toss and on their second down scored a touchdown. The Rockets lost the ball on their first possession and the Broncos drove down field, keeping the pressure on the Rockets defence. The Broncos pressure paid of and they were rewarded with a second touchdown.The Rockets then lost the ball on downs for the second time. The Broncos continued their drive but the Rockets’ Marc Prasher made the most of a bad throw by making an interception and running it back for a touchdown. The Rockets then missed the extra point. The Broncos then drove down field and scored again. Coach Paulin called his first Timeout to reorganise his team. However despite some good play by Marc Prasher was stopped at the two-yard line. The Rockets started the second half trailing and the Broncos continued to extend their lead with a series of Touchdowns. The Rockets had some good drives, one in particular saw a long pass by Marc Prasher caught by Darren MacDonald. On the next play a fake hand off fooled the Broncos defence allowing Blair Wilkie to break up field only to be stopped just short of the Broncos endzone. The game ended with
the traditional handshakes. The game finished 38 – 6 to the Broncos
using the Mercy rule. MVPs of the game were Martyn Paterson and Darren
