Stallions Wednesday
As some of you may or may not know i'm a current member of the Staffordshire Stallions, who are the reigning BUAFL Northern Conference Champions. Therefore, every Wednesday I will dedicate this site to the Stallions.
Welcome to the Stallions Update....
It took the Stallions until the third quarter to take control of the game before they defeated the Derby Braves 35-0 at the Stables.
Two touchdowns from Edam Goka and another one added by George Furlonge in the third was enough to take the game beyond Derby and hand the Stallions their second win of the season.
Tough conditions dictated a running game for both teams and the score remained dead-locked until the second quarter when Ben Rowan sneaked the ball into the endzone to give the Stallions a 7-0 advantage, after Jonathon Wood converted the extra point.
The score remained the same until the third quarter when the Stallions offensive line of Pete Buckley, Graham Fellows, Rob Pickerill, Phil Slater, Pete Crawley and Chris Ward, at tight end, began to dominate in the trenches and open lanes for the Stallions running backs.
Furlonge extended the Stallions advantage to 14-0 when he powered into the endzone for his second touchdown of the season. The third quarter scoring continued as Goka chalked up another two touchdowns to put the game beyond Derby.
Goka added another touchdown in the fourth to round off the Stallions’ scoring at 35 without reply, Goka finished the day with 317 yards off 26 attempts.
The Stallions’ defence held strong for the second consecutive game and recorded their second shutout in as many games. Furlonge added two interceptions to his touchdown to round off a fantastic day for him. The Stallions also forced and recovered fumbles so the Braves offence could not get into any rhythm.
The Stallions now stand at 2-0 and now look towards the Loughborough Aces, who also stand at 2-0, next week. Aces should provide the toughest task for Staffs so far this season.
MVP’s: Rookie- Alasdair Jarvis, Special Teams- Jonathon Wood, Defensive- Chris Ward, offensive- Edam Goka, Game- George Furlonge

AFC East Roundup Week 12
The Jets still control the division after beating the previously undefeated Tennesse Titans 34-13 at LP Field.
The Titans went into the game as the only team in the NFL with a perfect record at 10-0. The Jets needed a victory to remain atop of the AFC East. Brett Favre threw for two touchdowns and Leon Washington ran in for two more as the Titans faultered for the first time this season.
Ten rushes from Tennesse rookie Chris Johnson and one rush for Lendale White contributed to their loss as the run attack nicknamed 'smash and dash' were not a factor in this game.
The Jets held the ball for over 40 minutes as they easily dispatched the Titans showing everybody that they are a playoff threat this year.
The Patriots beat the Dolphins at Dolphin Stadium to stay within one game of the Jets and condemn the Fins to bottom of the division. Check out my game report for more on this game: 'Pats Crush Fins'
Bills QB Trent Edwards single-handedly destroyed the Chiefs with four touchdowns, two in the air and another two on the ground. The Bills forced five turnovers while not losing one to move their record to 6-5.
