The Knights Called to Arms

The Knights take the short trip across London to face the Blitz. In a game which everyone in the league will take notice of?

The Blitz are already in the play offs and have home field advantage, so how do they play this game? Knowing the Blitz staff they will remind the players of the history of this fixture.

The Knights have two games reminding this season and will need to win both in order to stay away from the Blitz in the play offs.

The Blitz’s starting quarterback Frederick Boyle will be looking to finish his first senior season strongly. I’ve seen Boyle play twice this season and I have been very impressed with the young man. His ability to make plays with his feet has been key to keep drives alive and Boyle out of trouble.

Trying to stop the Blitz will the Knight defence leaded by linebacker Owen Thomas. Thomas leads the team this season with 34 total tackles. But the Knights share around the tackles with 8 players in double figures for the season. The ball Hawk of the Knights is Jules Taylor with 2 picks this season.

On the offensive side of the ball the Knights have a 3 man running attack. With Daniel ‘Apples’ Appleyard, Kingsley Ejiogu and Scott Goddard the Knights have 3 players over the 100 yards for the season. With Tim Spaull throwing the ball the Knights will be looking at these players to help the team pick up the victory on Sunday.

The Blitz’s defence like to spread the hits around with 13 players in double figures for total tackles. The defence is lead by defensive lineman Paul Summers and he will be the rock which the Knights will have to get pass in this game.

With the Knights needing to win this game I see them coming through with the victory. But this will be a bone crunching in counter and I can’t wait.
