FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX PT 2

Senior kitted football in the north of Scotland took one step forward and one step back this week when Northern Phoenix scored their first points in their existence and with it came their first win over local Rivals Fort William Phoenix.

However the Northern Phoenix received some bad news as their head coach decided to call it a day and step down.

Fort William Phoenix were first to score and quickly added to their tally to give them a 12 - 0 lead.

The Northern Phoenix were finally given their first ever TD when David Kerr found himself on the end of a 30 yard Chris Clarke pass. The Northern Phoenix defence then stepped up and stopped Fort William offence.

Northern Phoenix tied the scoring and with less than 2 minutes left in the first half Fort William re-took the lead 20 points to 12.

The second half opened with Inverness fighting back to make it 20 all. Fort William again took the lead and with time fast running out QB Chris Clarke for the Northern Phoenix ran in to once again tie the scores.

It was again Chris Clarke who added the extra points running the ball in and giving the Northern Phoenix their first win. MVP for the game went to Chris Clarke of the Northern Phoenix.

Final score Fort William Phoenix 26 Northern Phoenix 28.
