Sorry It Had To BEE Like This

Bath received the ball first and after being held on their first 2 plays they completed a pass to #5 Steve Leonard who outran the corner and safety for a 66 yard score, the Killer Bees added the extra point, 7-0. The Stags started their drive from their own 10 and managed to get one first down before being forced to punt the ball away. The Killer Bees then drove the ball well again but as they neared the Stags endzone #47 Nicky Cole picked off a pass and gained some decent yards to kick-start the Southampton offence. The Stags put together a long drive of their own of run and pass, culminating in #37 Ben Webb catching a short pass from #1 Michal Katnik for the Stags first touchdown, Webb added the extra point, 7-7.

The game was a very even contest as the 2nd quarter progressed with both sides being held out until Katnik hit #11 Dominic Olney in the endzone for an 18 yard, go-ahead touchdown, Webb was again good with the extra point. Bath drove the ball down the field well with the half running out but their drive was stopped short of scoring with #26 Oli Gould picking off the Bath QB in his own redzone. 14-7 at the half.

At half time the Stags made a couple of adjustments, they picked up the tempo and went through the air and were soon rewarded with a Katnik touchdown scrambling in from 9 yards out, XP was good again 21-7. The Stags defence had adjusted also and forced a Bath punt. Katnik drove the Stags down the field again, with some outstanding running from his backs until #33 Tam Amachree burst in from 3 yards out, despite a substitution penalty and a loss of yards, Webb still added the XP. 28-7. Bath then went to a run heavy offence and a good combination of sweeps and dives soon paid off with #34 Anders Bengtson scoring a 4 yard rush (on the end of an drive that started deep inside their own half following a fumbled kick return). The extra point snap was high and as the QB/holder rolled out he had no-one to throw to so just threw it out of bounds. That proved to be his last contribution of the game as Bath were forced to move WR #92 Tim Williams under centre. The Stags next drive was disastrous as Katnik hit Bath’s MLB for an interception in their own half, a huge hit from Amachree made sure he didn’t advance the ball however. As Bath pushed for another score defensive MVP #29 Gavin Long (“Hollyoaks”) picked off a pass in the front of the endzone to regain possession for the Stags with the touchback.

The highlight of the 4th quarter was the rushing of #33 Tam Amachree as he added a 49 yard score to increase the lead and the game was over when #26 Oli Gould picked off another pass on Bath’s last offensive play.

The Killer Bees tested the Stags moving the ball well but the Stags defence stepped up with 8 turnovers (4 INT, 1 FR, 3 on downs). The Killer Bees defence contained the Stags to their lowest home score of the season as well and were very worthy divisional champions and play-off semi-finalists.

The Stags defence gave up yards but stepped up when it mattered and corner back #29 Gavin Long was awarded the defensive MVP by co-ordinator Mark Birchall.

Everyone contributed on offence with some great receiver play, most noticeably Webb and Olney and some strong running, not only from Amachree but also #22 Chevy Green, #5 Kai Passler and #21 Cedric Perret. Katnik got the game moving threw the air and on the ground. The offensive line did enough to get the job done with a standout performance from #73 Sam Bennett and managed to rotate in an entire second string line around the centre. The MVP was #22 Chevy Green, who not only got yards of his own but blocked excellently to clear the way for others.

The Stags would like to thank the Royal Holloway Vikings for doing the game commentary and providing their own equipment. The Polish crew on the hill also did excellently to get the crowd going with costumes, fire breathing and drumming all thrown in.

'Perfect' STAGS Back On Top

The undefeated Southampton STAGS faced the undefeated Staffordshire STALLIONS in the inaugural BUAFL Championship Game.

The STAGS had won the National Title 2 seasons previously in a year when they had set the points record and greatest final victory in college history, the 07/08 side had an offence just as potent and a defence that conceded only 4 touchdowns all season.

They faced a Staffordshire STALLIONS side led by the rushing attack of #34 Ed Goka, top in rushing yards and touchdowns league-wide.

STALLIONS 20 - 54 STAGS (National Champions 2008)
