Blitz just miss out
BLITZ just missed out on glory in their final game of the season on Sunday.
They were narrowly beaten by reigning champions London Olympians at the Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield.
Competing for BritBowl XX, the Finsbury Park based club fell behind after only 24 seconds when the Olympians scored an early touchdown.
The Blitz bounced back with a touchdown from Lennox Johnson and a field goal from Duncan Aldous giving them a 10-6 lead.
Both teams scored another touchdown before the break, the Blitz with a 17-yard pass from quarterback Tom Britton to Duncan Aldous - giving the north London club a 17-12 lead at half time.
Two quick touchdowns in the second half saw the Olympians jump out to a 25-17 lead.
Britton led an 80-yard Blitz drive, which finished with a Chris Onyilogwu touchdown as the Olympians saw their lead cut to just two points.
In a closely fought finale, Blitz just missed out as the Olympians secured a 45-30 victory. |
