Determined to save face Team England came out in the 2nd half with all guns blazing. Scoring with a Hail Mary pass to #81 Mann.

Could they orchestrate a momentous come back? Scotland however had other ideas and immediately replied with their own TD when #67 Bramwell intercepted a tipped England pass and ran it in for the score.

Both team traded scored for the rest of the game. Further TDs for England’s #81 and #30, and 2 more for Scotland's #83. The game ended Scotland 38 England 18.

The day’s events were rounded off with a final friendly game between Team England and the Scotland Veteran Squad.

Team England dominated the game from the start and took and early lead sustaining it throughout the game. Although the Scots tried valiantly to pull the game back they were always playing catch up. The game ended Scotland 21 England 29.

A win for Team England rounded off what was remarked upon as a great days Flag Football. It is hoped that this event can be repeated next year and that it may even become a regular fixture in both organisations calendar.
