Bristol Aztecs 36 v 18 Kent Brewers
P>Once again the Brewers put up an excellent show and gained the respect of yet another side in this Southern Conference clash. The bulk of the scoring took place in the first quarter with the Aztecs racing into a two score lead. Ed Collins blasted in from close range to open their account and repeated the exercise for the extra two points. On their next drive then seemed to be running away with the game as Nick Shotton-Gale wove into the en zone from fifteen yards out. Louis Nixon booted the extra point points to give the home side a comfortable 16 - 0. This turned out to be a lead of a matter of seconds as Sean Ardis collected the kick off and out paced the Aztecs special teams unit to bring the Brewers back into the game.
Kent's QB James Taylor then hit Ardis in stride to claim a fifty-nine yard TD strike to narrow the gap to 16 - 12 but the Bristol side soon struck back with Geoff Gill connecting with Adam Stenlake from sixty-five yards. The trusty boot of Nixon once again netting the extra two points to pas the lead to 24 - 12 as the first period came to a close.
Defenses stiffened somewhat in the second quarter but the Aztecs did find the end zone once more as Gill hooked up with Shotton-Gale from six yards out to extend the lead to 30 - 12. The half ended slightly early when the Brewers QB Taylor, damaged his neck while trying to recover a fumble and left the field in the ambulance.
The Brewers once more clawed their way back into the game in the third when Pat Turner sped in from twenty-two yards out only for the score to be cancelled out by a massive Ed Collins seventy-yard dash to leave the final score at 36 - 18.
