With both teams out of the running for the British American Football League Division Two Play Offs, pride was on the line for both teams, aiming to put the memory of last weeks defeats behind then and regain some momentum with two games of the regular season remaining.

It looked as if it was going to be a long afternoon when both sides turned over possession on their opening drives.

But Edinburgh stepped up the pace on their next drive after a power run from Campbell Lewis took the ball to midfield.

Then Quarterback Graham Tannahill went deep picking off Lewis again, who was stopped inside the Tigers redzone.

From that distance, enter former Team Europe running back Dave Molloy, who blasted through a gap in the Tigers rear guard for the opening touchdown, with Martin Devlin adding the extra point conversion for a 7-0 lead.

Early in the second quarter, Molloy’s opposite number, Graeme Clee showed he was no slouch when it came to turning on the speed, blasting through the hole for a 40 yard touchdown, which was converted by William McLauchlan to tie the scoring.

The Tigers appeared to have the endzone in their sights following an interception by Graham Whyte, who pulled off a terrific 50 yards return but the ball was brought back after a block in the back penalty.

Heavy pressure from the Wolves defense forced the Tigers to punt away possession, but McLauchlan could not have written the script any better, with the kick falling just short of the goal line, with Whyte making doubly sure with a showboating dive bomb onto the ball.

But their was no further change in the scoreline until the final thirty seconds of the half when McLauchlan fired a 30 yard to completion to the Tigers utility man, Whyte, who got in front of his marker for a terrific touchdown..

And when McLauchlan added another successful extra point, the Wolves tried to push for one last drive in the dying seconds of the half and had to settle for a long field goal attempt from Devlin, which finished well short of the target.
