WEATHER BLAMED FOR LACK OF NEW FANS OF FLAG - 10th November 2007
On Saturday, the Bronco Cadet and Youth squads took on the Clyde Valley Predators.
The Bronco Seniors also played the Lanarkshire Steelers. All three teams recorded wins.
The games were played at Forth on a fairly exposed pitch. Many of the players and supporters
commented on the fact that the organisers had failed to get the 'fans' turned off. There was a stiff
breeze when the Cadets began their match which gradually increased throughout the afternoon.
It had an effect on the play, but didn't detract too much from the passing plays.
Thankfully, the rain which could have spoiled the event, stayed away.
The games were arranged as an exhibition to show off the game to people outside of the flag community.
While the number of spectators was a disappointment, the games were all good adverts for the sport.
All of the players enjoyed their games and had fun throughout.
The Broncos hope to put on more exhibition matches at various venues in the future ...
but maybe we will wait until the warmer spring weather.

BRONCOS PREY FOR MORE FRIENDLY MATCHES - 10th November 2007
Coach Thomson has arranged a game or two for the youngsters against the Predators @ Forth.
(OS Co-ordinates of the park are 294095,653965)

Kick-offs will be approximately ... Cadets (10:30am), Juniors/Youths (11:45am) and Seniors (1pm).
