BSFL Week 4 Result

29th July 2002

In a titanic defensive struggle, the Leicester Eagles defeated the Fen Harriers 10-8 at Coldham Common.

After a scoreless first half, the Eagles drove down to Fen goal line but staunch goal line defending from the Harriers's D saw the Eagles settling for a Craig Broughton field goal and a 3-0 lead to the Eagles. The Harriers offense failed to move the ball allowing Eagles QB John Pimperton to move the ball down field with RB Ryan Melbourne taking a Pimperton hand off 20 yards into the end-zone for a 9-0 lead. Craig Broughton added the point after touchdown making it 10-0. Fen struck back with a Martin Brown pass eluding Eagles DB Andy Gambrill and finding WR Nick Moffat for a TD. A Brown pass to Jeremy Humphries brought the score back to 10-8.
