Semi Finals....

Sunday 4th September, Div 2 Semi Final game, Scotstoun, Glasgow.

Cloudy skies greeted the Shropshire Revolution as they came to the Scotstoun Stadium to take on the unbeaten Trojans in the Div 2 semi final game.

The west coast team who stand 11-0 after successfully beating the Milton Keynes Pathfinders in the quarter final game the previous week, knew that the Revolution were going to be a hard team to beat. But then that's exactly what they expected from a semi final a match up!

The teams entered the stadium to the sound of applause from the fans and were ushered onto the field by the Fierce Pro dancers who were providing the cheerleading and half time entertainment for the home team.

The first half quickly became a war of attrition, with both sides battling hard, although things were not quite going to plan during the Trojans initial offensive drives.

A 21-20 score line to the Revolution was "on the board" and the game was on a see-saw with the balance tipping back and forth. It was anyones game.

The third quarter started with the Trojans on offence and they continued to edge ahead.

Good plays and some hard hits by both teams kept the fans on the edge of their seats as the third quarter morphed into the fourth.

And for the Trojans, spirits were lifted with only 10 minutes remaining when they scored again.

Holding back the premature thoughts of any final, both teams stepped up a gear, but the Trojans once again proved their might and were on their way to Crystal Palace and the Div 2 Final at game end.

After head coach and QB Gary McNey had received the customary Gatorade bucket soaking, the team lined up to thank their opponents and faithful fans. Their excitement shining through after a hard fought campaign.

Now it was only three weeks until London, and the Britbowl Division 2 final where they will take on the South Wales Warriors.

10yardline plans to be there on the sidelines as usual to capture and bring home the action from one of the biggest games in Trojans football.

Go Trojans.
