culloden
academy pt 2
Game two brought more Gladiator misery when the
on form Culloden Academy Cougars beat them 41 to 0 with rookie player
James Macmillan opening the scoring with an interception which he
returned for a touchdown.
Game three was again the crunch game of the group
and a very evenly balanced game with the lead going back and forth
between the Inverness Royal Academy and Culloden Academy Cougars.
At halftime the Royal Academy team went in 2 points
up but a determined Cougars team came out and retook the lead and
held on to secure their place in the final.
The final brought together the Moray Maniacs and
the Culloden Academy Cougars, the Maniacs took an early lead thanks
to two touchdowns from Innes Thomson and one from Andrew Larke.
But it was the Cougars who went in at half time
ahead thanks to some strong running from Angus Mackintosh who ran
in for two touchdowns, Daniel Boni scored on a passing play, and
Josh Knox adding a forth touchdown to give the score at halftime
Culloden 27 Moray 18.
The second half saw the Cougars extend their lead
when Thomas Grant caught a long pass and ran into the endzone, James
Macmillan and Daniel Boni added another two, with Andrew Larke pulling
one back for the Maniacs to give the final score Culloden Academy
Cougars 45 Moray Maniacs 25.
The Cougars now go on to Claymores Bowl Final on
May 1st in Glasgow.
The tournament was rounded off with the presentation of medals and
plaques by Jim Burns from the Scottish Claymores grassroots department.
