Scotland’s National Under 19 American Football squad pulled off a memorable 30-20 victory over England at Stirling yesterday to regain the Sky Sports NFL Sunday Trophy. England got off to a great start when London Blitz RB Lennox Johnson ran in his first of two touchdowns which was converted by Martin Brion of the London Os. Scotland hit back late in the second quarter when QB William McLaughlin connected with receiver Derek Russell of the Glasgow Tigers for a touchdown but failed to add the two point conversion, leaving the score 7-6.

Craig Wilson connected with Mark Larnach of the Moray Firth Dolphins early in the third quarter to give Scotland the lead for the first time, but it was soon cancelled out when Eton Vipers QB James Sherred connected with receiver Graham Warby of the London Os for a second touchdown, with Brion adding the PAT for a 14-12 lead.

But the Scots came back with the perfect reply on the resulting kick off, when Martin Wallace of the North Lanarkshire Rams tore up the field 85 yards up field for a sensational touchdown that had the Scotland bench and their fans ecstatic.

Derek Russell added his second touchdown early in the fourth quarter - this time connecting with North Lanarkshire Rams QB David O'Rourke stretching the home lead to 10 points.
