UK BOWL 2002 WINNERS - The Grangemouth Broncos will fly the Scottish Flag at World Bowl X in Dusseldorf, Germany, having won the NFL UK Flag Football Championship.
The 12 to 14-year-olds narrowly defeated London's Selhurst Snipers 46-40 in the shadow of the famous Murrayfield Stadium before the Scottish Claymores took on the Frankfurt Galaxy in the NFL Europe League.
Quarterback Scott Keir took MVP honours as he threw six touchdown passes in the win that broke a losing streak for Scottish teams hosting the UK finals. The previous two clashes have seen teams visit from south of the border and return home victorious. Keir's favourite target was wide receiver Jonathan Ewing, who reeled in the game's decisive touchdown on a superb jinking run between tacklers to find the endzone.
Snipers MVP Cory White and quarterback Jerome Allen had combined to chip away at the Broncos' early 14-point lead and although the game remained close throughout, Grangemouth never relinquished their lead having been in front 24-14 at halftime.
Scotland's heroes are the first team to qualify for the European Championships to be held at World Bowl X and will be joined by teams from the Netherlands, who hold their final on June 1, Spain (May 19) and Germany (June 15). Two European teams will progress to the NFL Flag Football World Championship in Mexico City in August.

A superb video of the event can be purchased for a small fee of £5 to help Club Funds. Well done to Maureen Ewing for this extremely good quality production. The Oscar we believe is IN THE POST. If you wish at copy speak to Charlie.
