Knights Blank Raiders 70-0July 11, 2008

Several Knights legends returned to the pitch to host the Raiders in a 70-0 shutout. The Knights played a more expansive game this past Friday moving the ball wide through the hands of half-back Jean Philippe Martinez, five-eighth Beaudie Cullen, and fullback Dani Patrick. Although there were a plethora of tryscorers, Knights legends Hayden James, Glenn Treacher, Nathan Gooley, and Chris Martin made the most remarkable performances in their homecoming.

Hayden James made strong runs up the middle swatting defenders like flies often opening up gaps for the outside backs. Glenn Treacher laid down the Welsh Hammer on defense bullying the far younger Raiders on more than one occasion. Nathan "Gools" Gooley filled in at hooker often catching the defense sleeping with runs from dummy half. Finally, The Jacobs Creek "Man of the Match" went to Chris Martin for his "Barry Sanders" like runs and his try saving tackles. The Summer of Martin continues....

Next Friday, the Boys in Blue host the AMNRL Champion Wildcats. The Knights hope to avenge their lost to the Wildcats from earlier this season. Both teams are close in the standings and will be pushing hard this weekend for a strong playoff seeding.
