The Grangemouth Broncos played host last weekend to the Inverness Rockets in their first meeting this
year. The Rockets and the Broncos are old rivals and over the last few years both clubs have established themselves as the top two in the SFFA Northern Conference.
This year is no difference and both clubs were keen to get the top slot in all age bands.
The Juniors (U15) were the second onto the field and the Rockets were looking for revenge.
This was a complete reversal of the first game and it was the Rockets who dominated the first-half,
scoring 4 touchdowns, whilst the Broncos could only manage one.
Half-time allowed the Broncos to catch their breath and the second-half saw a return of the offensive form
that had been missing in the first-half.
The Broncos scored 3 touchdowns in the second-half, but each of these was matched by a touchdown from
the Rockets and the game ended 50-25 in favour of the Rockets.
Josh Keir (Broncos) and Angus McIntosh (Rockets) were named MVP's.
Broncos Head Coach Charlie Ewing said afterwards 'Great football from both clubs throughout the day.
It is what the sport is all about. Inverness are a fine club and it is always a pleasure to play them.
Good technical skills from both clubs made for some very entertaining football and we need to prepare well
for the return match in Inverness in 2 weeks time'.
The results allow both the Cadets and the Youth Squads to maintain their positons at the top of their
leagues whilst the Juniors are trailing Inverness at this stage of the season.

First game in the 'orange jersey' for Blair Gallacher.
Three Interceptions for the Defense ... Kevin Simpson, Josh Keir and Blair Gallacher.
All six players have to be commended for not giving up and working very hard to find space and
moving the ball forward under tight marking conditions.
