BRONCOS GO DOWN A STORM IN DUNDEE - After only two teams turned up on Saturday 6th July for the Independence Bowl, Under 13 Category, the Broncos faced the host team, Dundee Storm, in the Final. Ross and Scott Keir returned temporarily to boost the average age of the under 12 team. It turned out to be a really close game. After leading at half-time the boys found themselves behind with just over 2 minutes on the clock. With some tactical changes and good play the Broncos took the lead with seconds to play on the clock. Well Done to the boys and Coach McKenzie for bringing back yet another trophy.
