Jets in Britbowl! September 6th, 2009
The Coventry Cassidy Jets fired into the Britbowl final for
a third straight year with a 28-14 semi-final victory over the Bristol Aztecs.
Tony Perkins had the games biggest play, returning the opening kick off of the
second half for 81 yards a touchdown that broke Bristol’s resistance. Once
again the Jets will face the London Blitz for the National Title as they ran
over the Farnham Fast Lane Knights 33-13.
Coventry opened the scoring on their second possession,
Jeremy Simms making a tremendous catch over the middle for a 19 yard touchdown
reception from Stuart Franklin. The play was set up by a hook and ladder play,
Franklin’s pass was caught by Dale Hawes at the Bristol 24 before the
diminutive receiver pitched the ball back to Dominic Olney who barrelled ahead
for an extra five yards. Hawes attempted to add the extra point but his kick
was blocked.
Bristol, who had managed only nine yards in the air, struck
back late in the first half with a touchdown from Dominic Westwood to Nick
Smith. The 38 yard pass was an embarrassment for the Jets’ defence as both
Ahmed Hashim and Wayne Gumbs missed what looked to be simple tackles on the way
to the endzone. Jon Wyse added the extra point to hand Bristol a 7-6 lead with
half time looming.
Franklin completed a 38 yard pass of his own as Mark Cohen
dragged tacklers down inside the Bristol redzone. The Aztecs brought a lot of
pressure and held the Jets short of the endzone. When running out the clock
would have been the logical choice, Bristol decided to go for the throat, Ted
Baynham was brought in at quarterback to throw the deep ball. His first pass
was wild and his second was picked off by Ahmed Hashim.
A 38 yard touchdown pass to Dominic Olney on the next play
punished the Aztecs for their mistake. Kofi Campbell, making a welcome return,
coasted in to the endzone to add a two point conversion ensuring that the Jets
would enter the break with the lead at 14-7. As the second half began it was
time for Tony Perkins to take centre stage, his 81 yard kick off return was a
hammer blow for the Aztecs as they fell two scores behind Coventry’s stingy
defence. Hawes booted the extra point for a 14 point advantage.
The remainder of the third quarter saw both teams cancel
each other as Coventry’s offence began to sputter. The only drive of note ended
with Wyse making a good play to take away a second touchdown from Simms. The
Aztecs went back to what worked best in the final quarter, keeping the ball on
the ground and letting Mike Adams churn up yardage. His tough running eventually
set up another Westwood to Smith touchdown, this time from eight yards. Wyse
kicked the extra point to pull Bristol within seven with six minutes remaining
in the game.
In response Coventry mounted a 12 play drive, churning up
the clock as Franklin directed his team 68 yards downfield completing two key
passes to Courtney Pope before Campbell bulled in from three yards out. Hawes
again kicked the extra point to restore the Jets 14 point advantage. Bristol’s
last chance to respond was snuffed out as an Adam’s fumble was recovered by
Liam Smith. The Jets now have three weeks to prepare for the final, which will
be held in Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium. | |
