Tigers Host 3 Way Friendly

On Sunday the 13th of March the Tigers looked to build on their impressive victory over the Panthers the week before. This time it was the Tigers’ turn to play host to the Paisley side who were joined by another travelling side, the Inverclyde Raiders.

Raiders vs. Panthers

The first match-up of the day saw the Panthers taking on the Raiders. It was important for the new Paisley side to make a good start in what was always going to be a tough match.

Unfortunately they stalled on their first drive and possession was handed over to the Raiders who immediately looked to impose their selves with some aggressive running.

It took only two plays for them to put the ball in the end zone which was quickly followed up with a successful two point conversion to give them an early 8-0 lead.

Paisley came out looking to close the gap and looked to the passing game to get the points.

Unfortunately a wayward snap saw and some quick reactions from the Raiders’ defence saw them increase their lead as they recovered the ball for a touchdown.

Their next drive didn’t fair any better when on second down a hopeful pass from the quarterback was intercepted and returned for the touchdown.

When the Raiders returned to the offensive side of the ball, with a twenty point lead, it was up to the Paisley defence to keep them in the game.

It looked like they might rise to the occasion, playing some sound defence and forcing Inverclyde into a long 4th down situation.

It wasn’t to be however when the Raiders converted and some excellent running after the catch set them up in prime scoring position.

One play later the Raiders found themselves in the end zone again due to an excellent pass and catch. The Raiders went into the half with a comfortable lead 26-0.

The Raiders started the second half with the ball and looked to increase their lead but it wasn’t to be.

The Panthers managed to prevent the first down for the first time in the game and got the ball back for their offence.

This time excellent pressure from the Raiders’ defence on third down hurried the quarterback and he was once again picked off with the play resulting in a TD for the Raiders.

The Raiders continued to dominate for the remainder of the game and at full time had earned a resounding 40-0 victory.
