Match Report
The Knights registered their first win of the season with a convincing win over the Teeside Cougars. An early score from Running Back and team captain Dan Flannery eased Napier ahead following an interception from Line backer Jamie Welsh that gave the Knights excellent field position.
In atrocious playing conditions the Knights moved the ball well but were held at the one yard line on their next drive before finally getting the second score from Flannery in the 3rd Quarter.
The Cougars put together a final 40 yard, 14 play drive to get themselves on the scoreboard at the final whistle.
The Knights go to 1-2 for the season so far but end the year undefeated at Sighthill park. The Knights now have a Christmas break but return to action in the New Year with a full slate of games and the Varsity Match against the Edinburgh Predators on the 1st of February at Meggetland Stadium.
