Jets Beat Knights 12-7 (Match Report) August 23rd, 2009
The Coventry Cassidy Jets backed into second spot with a
sputtering 12-7 victory over the Farnham Fast Lane Knights. The narrow victory
was enough to tie up home field advantage for the semi-final where they’ll
entertain the Bristol Aztecs at the Sphinx on Sunday the 6th of
September. Wide receiver Dominic Olney was once again the star man on offense
as he scored on a well designed hook and ladder play.
Dale Hawes opened the scoring for the Jets, as he outfought
a defender before making an acrobatic catch on Stuart Franklin’s 25 yard
touchdown lob. The returning quarterback couldn’t repeat the feat on the extra
point as he missed an open Mark Cohen. There were no further scores in an
opening quarter blighted by penalties, however, the Jets went for the spectacular
as they capped a 14 play drive with a 45 yard score.
Franklin hit Hawes downfield at the Farnham 22 yard line,
where the diminutive receiver pitched the ball back to Olney, running full pelt
the speedster caught the Knights by surprise and galloped into the endzone to
double the lead at 12. Franklin again went for two, this time hooking up with
Tony Perkins, however, the usually bullish running back couldn’t force his way
over the goal line.
Coventry’s rampant defense, now in full stride, forced an
early turnover in the second half, one of five on the day, as Winston Dumas
stripped the ball allowing Ahmed Hashim to cover. A 12 play drive came to
nothing as the Jets consistently found themselves being hauled back for
penalties, Hawes eventually missed narrowly wide left as he attempted a 29 yard
field goal.
With just under two minutes to play Farnham finally found
the endzone. Junior Price, guilty of two dropped passes, hauled a Tim Spaull
pass in at the third time of asking for a 10 yard touchdown. Justin Cashman booted
the extra point to haul the visitors within five. Gerry McManus sent out his
hands team as the Knights lined up an onside kick, “Mr Do It All” Ed Tate fell
on the ball to give the Jets possession at midfield.
Logic would usually dictate under these circumstances that
you don’t take any chances and run the clock out. However, madness prevailed
and a Franklin interception handed the Knights a chance to go for the win.
Former Jets’ quarterback Spaull couldn’t take advantage of the opportunity as
Frank Herlihy, making a solid home debut, dove full length to snare his second
interception of the game, handing Coventry victory.
Bristol, who won 20-14 at Sussex today, will attempt to snap
a streak that has seen them defeated in the playoffs by the Jets the past three
years. The two sides have met twice already this year with each side winning
their home game, Coventry took the first meeting 16-7 in May, with Bristol
returning the favour 40-33 in a far more exciting encounter back in June. | |
