  Busy, busy week. So, yesterday I was I
• 4:08
  was down in in the the nation's capital
• 4:11
  watching the Wembley Stallions take on
• 4:13
  the the Cambridgeshire Cats off for a
• 4:15
  a thrilling game,
• 4:17
  um, which which ended up in in obviously
• 4:19
  we'll talk about later in in favor of
• 4:20
  the Cats, but um,
• 4:22
  yeah, it's it's been a it's been a
• 4:23
  really good week. Uh, Liv, how about
• 4:25
  yourself? What have you been up to? Um,
• 4:27
  not much. Like working like normal. Uh,
• 4:29
  double training weekend, well, double
• 4:31
  weekend of football. Had training with
• 4:32
  Royals on the Saturday and then I was at
• 4:34
  the Stallions and Cats match. First
• 4:37
  match this season where I've been able
• 4:39
  to kind of kit up and be on the field.
• 4:41
  So, that was kind of good. Good to be
• 4:42
  kind of back out with everyone after,
• 4:44
  you know, not being able to be out in
• 4:46
  the past season. So, uh, past match even
• 4:48
  against Blitz. So, yeah.
• 4:50
  What's that? Um, Kwam, um, Liv will not
• 4:53
  take offense to this. If you need me to,
• 4:55
  um, speak in English what she's saying,
• 4:56
  she might be hard to understand. You let
• 4:58
  [laughter] me know.
• 4:59
  She is Scottish. She's used to this
• 5:01
  before.
• 5:02
  Um, and that's coming from a Scouser.
• 5:03
  What do you want me to
• 5:04
  >> Yeah. I'm just saying our Americans on
• 5:06
  Cats understand me. So, It's not It's
• 5:09
  It's not bad, honestly. I've been I've
• 5:11
  been here 11 years now. So, I think I've
• 5:12
  kind of got a built-in translator at
• 5:14
  this point.
• 5:15
  >> [laughter]
• 5:16
  >> Fact they're scared of Liv so they just
• 5:18
  say yes, yes.
• 5:21
  Kwam, what have you been up to, mate?
• 5:22
  What's been going on with you? So, we
• 5:24
  had a a game I I obviously I play for
• 5:26
  East Kent. You know, you can see the
• 5:28
  Mavericks merch on my chest right now.
• 5:30
  So, I've got me onesie on. I'm not even
• 5:32
  lying, by the way.
• 5:33
  >> [laughter]
• 5:34
  >> So, we we would have had a game
• 5:35
  yesterday. So, you know, just recovering
• 5:37
  and rehab from that. Um, back to work. I
• 5:40
  think a week I coach, um, for the
• 5:42
  development at GB. So, we have a camp
• 5:44
  coming up this Saturday at, uh, Brunel.
• 5:47
  So, just been preparing for that with
• 5:49
  the rest of the coaching staff. We're
• 5:50
  really looking forward to that and
• 5:51
  getting out there with the rest of the
• 5:52
  GB guys. So, just focused on that right
• 5:55
  now at the moment. Yeah. Wow.
• 5:57
  We We did have a good chipmunk. Um
• 6:00
  he sent for a really good clip and we
• 6:02
  uploaded it last week and he might be on
• 6:04
  it this week, but we'll we'll talk about
• 6:05
  that later cuz we've got the clip to
• 6:06
  show later. But, um
• 6:09
  I can't see many people trying to
• 6:12
  well, being able to actually stop them
• 6:13
  Moths this season. They do really good
• 6:15
  offense and defense.
• 6:18
  Um
• 6:19
  what's the aim for the Moths this
• 6:20
  season?
• 6:21
  Um well, you know, I can be humble or I
• 6:24
  can be, you know,
• 6:26
  truthful. Be truthful. Be truthful. This
• 6:29
  is that
• 6:30
  after last year's finish,
• 6:32
  um you know, we would have lost to the
• 6:33
  Wembley Stallions who were promoted to
• 6:35
  the Premiership.
• 6:36
  Uh you know, we were aiming for a win.
• 6:39
  And you know, we're aiming for a ring
• 6:40
  and a Britball, which last season even
• 6:43
  if we had one, we wouldn't have been
• 6:44
  able to get to the championship because
• 6:45
  they weren't doing that format. Um so,
• 6:48
  this season, you know, we kind of feel
• 6:50
  like this year is our year to kind of do
• 6:51
  the thing. And so, our aiming point is
• 6:54
  as high as it can be, which is to win
• 6:55
  Britball, you know, Division 1. Love
• 6:58
  that. Um I'm going to throw a question
• 7:00
  at you.
• 7:01
  Mhm. If you guys were in the Prem now,
• 7:03
  do you reckon you'd be able to hold your
• 7:03
  own?
• 7:05
  I think we'd be able to hang with the
• 7:07
  bottom half of the Prem.
• 7:10
  That's more than holding your own. Yeah.
• 7:11
  >> Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
• 7:13
  Um wow. Well, um I mean, me, I've had a
• 7:17
  busy one. I've been watching so much
• 7:18
  football, it's been ridiculous. All the
• 7:19
  European ball games I've I've I've been
• 7:21
  watching. And
• 7:24
  wow. Um we we make this show for you
• 7:27
  guys. This is your show. We We say this
• 7:29
  quite a lot and I'm always in Lee's ear
• 7:31
  after not physically cuz we've never
• 7:33
  physically met. We've We've all done
• 7:35
  done by this, by the way. Shake his head
• 7:36
  like that. But, we're always coming up
• 7:38
  with ideas to try and make this better.
• 7:40
  And when I watched that stream, I think
• 7:42
  I must have sent him about five diff Oh,
• 7:43
  why don't we try this? Why don't we try
• 7:45
  that? Yeah. It was absolutely brilliant.
• 7:47
  Like even like the thing with the
• 7:48
  drones, I don't know if any of you
• 7:49
  watched any of the games over the
• 7:51
  weekend and like Frankfurt and stuff
• 7:52
  like that. The drones going up and down,
• 7:54
  getting the coverage. It was just
• 7:56
  absolutely brilliant and
• 7:59
  I'm not going to go into the Titans in
• 8:01
  that game. We'll do We'll do that later,
• 8:02
  but even though
• 8:04
  because there's obviously a few European
• 8:06
  leagues, both of them both of them
• 8:07
  streams were absolutely
• 8:10
  brilliant.
• 8:11
  My game Sunday, which we won, and I had
• 8:14
  three field goal kick attempts. Drum
• 8:16
  roll.
• 8:18
  Scored three. So
• 8:20
  cushy
• 8:21
  from all iron men to to the chunky
• 8:24
  kicker. That's what I've been I've been
• 8:25
  called once or twice.
• 8:27
  Quan, who is your team? Who do you
• 8:29
  support? NFL.
• 8:31
  Yeah, so I'm I'm from Washington, D.C.
• 8:33
  So I am a Commanders fan. You know, we
• 8:37
  we've got to be PC now, so I'll just
• 8:38
  leave it at that.
• 8:40
  >> [laughter]
• 8:41
  >> Yeah, I've been I've always been a
• 8:43
  Commanders fan though, so I'm a hometown
• 8:44
  hero supporter. So I support the
• 8:46
  Wizards, you know, we got a number one
• 8:49
  draft pick coming up this year, so I'm
• 8:51
  happy with the state of Washington
• 8:53
  sports at the moment.
• 8:54
  Who's your college team?
• 8:57
  I don't have one.
• 8:58
  You don't have one? Oh, okay.
• 8:59
  >> not. Yeah.
• 9:03
  It's interesting you say that cuz
• 9:05
  obviously I I I lived in in Colorado for
• 9:07
  a while. Mhm. And um
• 9:10
  I pick CSU as my college team and and
• 9:14
  obviously I'm a Bronco.
• 9:16
  And
• 9:16
  I follow quite a few of the the leagues.
• 9:18
  You've got a bit of a semi-pro league.
• 9:20
  Um London has a team. And it is it it is
• 9:22
  interesting because
• 9:25
  there's not many like amateur slash
• 9:26
  semi-pro things on a smaller scale. It's
• 9:29
  either
• 9:30
  So, yeah, interesting one. Right, shall
• 9:33
  we get to it, folks? Oh, we've got a few
• 9:34
  comments. Do apologize. Meanwhile,
• 9:37
  Buffer bans drones at games. To be fair,
• 9:40
  we had an interview with them.
• 9:41
  Um they do, but they said if we can if,
• 9:44
  you know, a safe option gets passed to
• 9:45
  them, then boom, that's something we can
• 9:47
  sort.
• 9:48
  Um we need to be allowed to use drones
• 9:50
  even for game analysis. Um
• 9:53
  the coach from um Steelers said this, he
• 9:55
  showed it, and I agreed with him
• 9:56
  completely. But, hopefully this game
• 9:58
  continues to grow. Let's make it grow
• 9:59
  together. Let's get into week five
• 10:04
  results. So, come on. You've watched the
• 10:06
  show enough. If you have any questions,
• 10:08
  not a problem. If you haven't got a
• 10:09
  clue, don't worry. Say pass or you know,
• 10:12
  I don't know. You know what I mean?
• 10:14
  >> we're going to go through the under 19s
• 10:15
  first. Um apologies, we put div one on a
• 10:17
  graphic when it's div two. Blame the
• 10:20
  graphic designer, which is me. It's
• 10:22
  fine.
• 10:23
  Um
• 10:24
  So, uh London Warriors 14, Wembley
• 10:26
  Stallions
• 10:29
  Did I go off there? Am I back on? You're
• 10:31
  back on. You're back on.
• 10:33
  Uh live TV. Um London Warriors 14,
• 10:36
  Wembley Stallions eight. Pretty close
• 10:37
  game. Um I'm not going to talk over
• 10:39
  about forfeit games. And then the next
• 10:41
  one is Wembley Stallions zero.
• 10:43
  Uh Southeast Kent Legion 38. That tells
• 10:46
  me Southeast Kent Legion are miles
• 10:47
  above.
• 10:49
  Yeah, that's a
• 10:50
  hell of a result.
• 10:52
  Um let's move on to the next one. We've
• 10:54
  got uh Poole Dolphins eight, Bristol
• 10:57
  Aztecs 31.
• 10:58
  Then Bristol Aztecs zero, South Wales
• 11:00
  Warriors 15.
• 11:02
  Poole Dolphins 12, South Wales Warriors
• 11:04
  38. South Wales Warriors will be happy
• 11:07
  with that. I'm not surprised whatsoever.
• 11:09
  Um let's go into the next one. So,
• 11:13
  after that, we uh had some games
• 11:14
  yesterday as well.
• 11:17
  Um Highland Wildcats 20,
• 11:19
  Chester Titans 14. Oh, you disconnected
• 11:21
  as well. Don't worry, mate, it's not
• 11:22
  just me.
• 11:23
  Um Lancashire Buccaneers zero, uh East
• 11:26
  Kilbride Pirates 44. I I've seen this
• 11:28
  game. Um I Their defense looked
• 11:31
  absolutely brilliant. They intercepted a
• 11:33
  lot of passes Um very well traveled as
• 11:35
  well considering it was an under 19 game
• 11:37
  and they were all brilliant and deal
• 11:38
  with brilliant to speak to.
• 11:40
  He's got to buy a pirate degree once you
• 11:41
  guys.
• 11:42
  Chester Romans 8 Nottingham Caesars 16
• 11:45
  Rushmore Knights 0 Solomon Flash's 42.
• 11:49
  Ipswich Cardinals 8 Hertfordshire
• 11:51
  Cheetahs 48 Cheetahs
• 11:53
  winning on multiple levels.
• 11:55
  I want to get into the European ball.
• 11:58
  So the first one we're going to talk
• 11:59
  about here is
• 12:02
  the Titans.
• 12:04
  Now they lost to the Panthers 55 points.
• 12:06
  I think it was the Panthers. I believe
• 12:08
  it was Panthers
• 12:09
  55 points to 8. Did anyone watch this
• 12:11
  game?
• 12:13
  I've got to admit I didn't. I I I
• 12:15
  watched a little bit of it. I did. I I
• 12:18
  went I think I'd watched about 5 hours
• 12:20
  worth of ball at this point. So I didn't
• 12:23
  catch the full game but
• 12:25
  See it's an interesting one because we
• 12:28
  talk about this at home.
• 12:30
  Some teams will play much better at home
• 12:32
  than they do away because people can't
• 12:34
  be bothered traveling.
• 12:35
  I had one coach say to me if in England
• 12:37
  if it's more than an hour's travel
• 12:38
  you're losing 33% of the squad.
• 12:42
  Would that score been a lot different
• 12:45
  if the Panthers sorry if the Titans were
• 12:47
  at home? Anyone disagree? I mean I think
• 12:49
  it would have been but
• 12:52
  It just shows you that.
• 12:55
  You know that semi-pro aspect of it. I
• 12:57
  mean I mean fair play to the Titans they
• 12:59
  got you know the bottom of it. They did
• 13:00
  as good as they could
• 13:02
  but it was a bit of a mad one.
• 13:06
  Yeah I mean I I think I think I think
• 13:08
  there is an argument to be said you know
• 13:10
  especially in in these sort of matches
• 13:12
  you know it should be like
• 13:14
  you know like the the soccer over here
• 13:17
  in the UK you know a match played away
• 13:19
  and a match played at home and then
• 13:21
  sort of the overall scoreline should
• 13:24
  take effect.
• 13:25
  I think it's difficult to say, you know,
• 13:27
  can
• 13:29
  just for there to be a a knockout
• 13:31
  competition like this. Um,
• 13:34
  it's luck of the draw, isn't it? Who's
• 13:35
  who's the away team? Obviously, they've
• 13:37
  had to travel quite a distance away
• 13:39
  there. And
• 13:40
  uh, although the the team looked like
• 13:42
  they were the majority of them were
• 13:43
  there, you don't know if they were
• 13:45
  missing any key players out in that in
• 13:46
  that starting lineup. Um,
• 13:49
  Just uh, quickly, we we we love
• 13:50
  interacting with other media outlets as
• 13:52
  long as you're um,
• 13:54
  friendly. Uh, we've got a comment here.
• 13:56
  Commanders fan, check out the Bunker
• 13:58
  Podcast on YouTube. UK-based Commanders
• 14:01
  show. Maybe you guys can get an Aquan.
• 14:03
  I'm sure he'd be up for that cuz he he's
• 14:05
  UK-based now.
• 14:06
  Absolutely.
• 14:07
  >> as you were We've got a comment here,
• 14:09
  sorry, Lee. Um, no.
• 14:11
  Couldn't stop the QB runs. Yeah. Yeah. I
• 14:15
  I I witnessed that first hand. They were
• 14:17
  getting a bit destroyed by that. And the
• 14:19
  QB was scrambling out the pocket and
• 14:22
  running as well as making throws on the
• 14:24
  run. So, I don't really foresee the
• 14:26
  score being that much different. They
• 14:28
  did look a bit outmatched,
• 14:30
  if I'm honest.
• 14:32
  See, [clears throat] it's it's mad
• 14:34
  because I mean,
• 14:36
  there was a there was a we had a meme
• 14:37
  the other day we were talking about. I I
• 14:39
  play Div 2. I'm I'm not claiming to be
• 14:41
  Prem. I'm not claiming to be good enough
• 14:42
  to be Prem.
• 14:44
  But, there's differences between Div 2
• 14:46
  and Div 1. A lot of difference. But,
• 14:49
  then there's a massive difference in Div
• 14:50
  1 to Div Prem. The bottom half of Div
• 14:53
  Prem.
• 14:54
  And then there's another level from the
• 14:55
  bottom half bottom half to the top half,
• 14:58
  it is a bit mad. So, then you when you
• 14:59
  think of all them levels, then you go to
• 15:01
  Europe and that
• 15:04
  crazy. Let's let's move on to the next
• 15:05
  one.
• 15:06
  Um,
• 15:07
  now, I felt so bad for for Bristol
• 15:12
  on this one. Um, the kit being left
• 15:15
  there, all the equipment. Um,
• 15:18
  it it was crazy. Um, luckily, they were
• 15:20
  managed to source some kit. I think they
• 15:23
  bought some cleats and that and lent
• 15:24
  some other bits of kit.
• 15:26
  But I'm telling you now, if I'm doing
• 15:28
  what's potentially the biggest game of
• 15:29
  my life playing,
• 15:31
  and I'm wearing someone else's lids and
• 15:32
  someone else's kit,
• 15:34
  I'm not going to be nowhere near as up
• 15:35
  for it.
• 15:36
  And I'll tell you what, 35-21, not a bad
• 15:39
  result when you look at the other one.
• 15:41
  Um, this is a fixture where if I think
• 15:42
  it was at home, it
• 15:44
  maybe you'd have seen a swing swing in
• 15:46
  the result.
• 15:47
  Um,
• 15:49
  Kwame, I'm going to go to you on this
• 15:50
  one, mate. What are you thinking? Yeah,
• 15:52
  absolutely. Uh, you're you think about
• 15:55
  all the skill position players. I've
• 15:56
  never obviously played O-line.
• 15:58
  Uh, I've played some D-line before in my
• 15:59
  life. But as a Always welcome, mate.
• 16:02
  >> [laughter]
• 16:03
  >> As a skill position player, I know the
• 16:05
  difference personally for myself, if I'm
• 16:07
  wearing cleats that don't feel good, or
• 16:09
  if wearing cleats that haven't been
• 16:10
  broken in. And I can only imagine what
• 16:13
  cleats these guys are having to wear if
• 16:14
  they've bought it at some, you know,
• 16:16
  Polish version of Sports Direct, for
• 16:18
  lack of better words. You know, and so
• 16:20
  to imagine that, to imagine, you know,
• 16:22
  this random gum shield they're having to
• 16:24
  wear, and all these different things
• 16:25
  that you don't really think about too
• 16:27
  much, but that I guess they they
• 16:28
  intangibles to the game that could
• 16:30
  impact the scoreline.
• 16:32
  Um, but I know a couple of the guys
• 16:34
  from Bristol and you know, they're
• 16:37
  ballers and they will get on with it,
• 16:39
  you know, as they as they did. And but
• 16:41
  yeah, definitely definitely can see how
• 16:44
  that would have impacted the scoreline
• 16:45
  for sure. But they still put up a pretty
• 16:47
  good fight, it seems like. I didn't
• 16:48
  watch too much of the stream, though.
• 16:50
  So, I wouldn't know. Did any of you
• 16:52
  other guys catch it? Yeah, I called this
• 16:54
  one. So, um,
• 16:55
  yeah, I mean,
• 16:57
  it was it was a great game. I think, you
• 16:59
  know, the the Worcester Eagles, you
• 17:01
  know, they they looked really good. Um,
• 17:05
  again, it's talking about, you know, how
• 17:07
  well players traveled, their offensive
• 17:09
  line didn't look as dominant as I've
• 17:12
  seen them in the past. So,
• 17:14
  I think there's there's questions
• 17:15
  whether
• 17:16
  you know, they had their starting O line
• 17:18
  out there. I'm
• 17:19
  again speculation. I'm not 100% sure.
• 17:22
  But their QB was you know, that the
• 17:24
  Aztecs QB was flushed out the pocket
• 17:26
  quite a lot of times.
• 17:28
  And there was there was a a fair few
• 17:30
  sacks. It is a credit to the Aztecs.
• 17:33
  But yeah, if this was roles reversed,
• 17:35
  you know, if this was
• 17:37
  I reckon you know what?
• 17:38
  Yeah, I think I think you're possibly
• 17:40
  right. I think you know, it's
• 17:41
  again it's it's it's so hard, isn't it?
• 17:43
  To to
• 17:45
  to travel across Europe in your own time
• 17:50
  and obviously being in that really
• 17:52
  difficult situation where they where
• 17:53
  they didn't have their own kit.
• 17:55
  You know, that
• 17:56
  it confused me watching the stream like
• 17:59
  where where these aren't the Aztecs. Who
• 18:01
  are these guys?
• 18:02
  And yeah, it's it's always it's always
• 18:04
  bad there.
• 18:05
  Also Scouts Bristol knew where the open
• 18:08
  coverages were. Yeah, I I completely
• 18:09
  agree.
• 18:10
  You know, their their DBs were on point.
• 18:12
  They knew exactly what was going on.
• 18:15
  Um
• 18:16
  and it was a it was it was a great game.
• 18:18
  It was a great game.
• 18:20
  Black Panther Sports just said hi on
• 18:22
  Instagram. Hello Black Panther Sports.
• 18:24
  Um
• 18:25
  Liv, I'm going to ask you yes or no if
• 18:27
  this if it was if Aztecs were at home,
• 18:30
  would have Aztecs won?
• 18:32
  Um
• 18:35
  I would I don't know if they would have
• 18:36
  won, but I think it would have been a
• 18:38
  much kind of closer game.
• 18:41
  Definitely not as like I know it's still
• 18:43
  a close game.
• 18:45
  But again, it depends on where This is
• 18:47
  like a massive what if? Obviously, we
• 18:49
  don't know how well like the Eagles
• 18:50
  would have traveled.
• 18:51
  So it's very much they could have had
• 18:54
  the same thing. I mean, if they were to
• 18:56
  travel on the same weekend, they might
• 18:57
  have had the same issue
• 18:59
  as what Aztecs did and their kit gets
• 19:00
  kept in. Like I think it was Heathrow
• 19:02
  that we're flying from. Yeah. But yeah,
• 19:05
  it yeah, it is shocking to me that a lot
• 19:07
  of the players didn't take their helmets
• 19:09
  on the carry-on.
• 19:10
  When I played away with GB last year in
• 19:12
  Spain, the massive thing that we were
• 19:15
  told is helmet and carry on. Your helmet
• 19:17
  has to go in the carry on because we
• 19:19
  can't have you like bags getting left in
• 19:21
  the UK and your helmet is in the UK.
• 19:23
  Like your helmet, anything that you need
• 19:25
  like if you've got special pair of
• 19:27
  gloves that you want to wear in the
• 19:28
  game, in the bag. Everything that's a
• 19:30
  very like important in that sense, in
• 19:33
  the bag. So I was shocked to see that so
• 19:35
  many helmets weren't
• 19:37
  you know they're Aztecs helmets.
• 19:39
  I agree with you coming from but at the
• 19:41
  same time if you're paying for a service
• 19:43
  you expect that service. Oh absolutely.
• 19:45
  You don't you don't think you know when
• 19:46
  you
• 19:47
  whenever you go on holiday you don't
• 19:48
  think your luggage is going to get lost
• 19:49
  until you're at the carousel going
• 19:52
  where's my luggage.
• 19:54
  And and it's I think that's that's
• 19:55
  exactly what happened here. It's an
• 19:57
  unfortunate event but
• 19:59
  I mean Liv is absolutely right. You know
• 20:01
  helmets aren't cheap. You know you we
• 20:03
  all know.
• 20:05
  Oh.
• 20:06
  Oh we are we are having a lot of
• 20:08
  issues.
• 20:11
  We have a few issues we do apologize
• 20:12
  folks and this there's over 70 of you
• 20:14
  watching which is the highest we've ever
• 20:15
  had at one point so uh
• 20:17
  thank you. Um
• 20:19
  Lee
• 20:19
  >> Someone said that the live feed's gone
• 20:21
  down on Facebook apparently. Oh. There's
• 20:23
  nothing I can do there then. We'll have
• 20:25
  to wait. I'll post YouTube link now. Lee
• 20:27
  do you want to finish your statement
• 20:28
  there mate? Sorry.
• 20:29
  Um yeah I just I was just saying you
• 20:31
  know that obviously the helmets you know
• 20:32
  we all we all know how expensive those
• 20:34
  helmets are.
• 20:37
  Um you know
• 20:38
  it's it's definitely something you want
• 20:39
  to keep an eye on whether you put it in
• 20:41
  your hold luggage or or your carry on is
• 20:42
  is
• 20:43
  is definitely questionable there isn't
• 20:45
  it?
• 20:46
  Yeah.
• 20:48
  Liv did you manage to actually
• 20:50
  I didn't unfortunately. I don't know why
• 20:52
  I didn't. I think we had training at
• 20:54
  Royals so
• 20:56
  I think I probably had a nap after
• 20:57
  training I can't lie.
• 21:00
  Liv could you just give us the info on
• 21:02
  this one?
• 21:03
  >> Yeah.
• 21:04
  So we had the women's nines league the
• 21:06
  Prem league and we had Teesside Steelers
• 21:09
  play home to the London Warrior women's.
• 21:12
  Very very shocking score line. 63 to
• 21:15
  London Warrior women's zero to Teesside
• 21:18
  Steelers.
• 21:19
  I had a conversation with one of the
• 21:20
  players from Warriors women's yesterday
• 21:23
  after the Cats match. And she was just
• 21:26
  saying it was just a really really good
• 21:28
  day for them despite Warriors women's
• 21:30
  having quite a lot of travel
• 21:32
  difficulties. Obviously they're
• 21:33
  traveling up from London. I think she
• 21:35
  said that they left about 20 to 6:00 in
• 21:37
  the morning, 6:00 in the morning for
• 21:40
  2:00 p.m. No, 12:00 p.m.
• 21:42
  I think it's 12:00 p.m. kickoff, 2:00
• 21:43
  p.m. kickoff. Something along the lines
• 21:46
  of that, but they left at crack of dawn.
• 21:49
  Traveled up. They had a couple of issues
• 21:51
  with driver taking wrong turns. They
• 21:53
  turned up late, had to push back the um
• 21:56
  push back the uh the um match for like
• 21:59
  half an hour. And then you know, they
• 22:01
  still went out and like bowled, which is
• 22:03
  it's a it's a very shocking score line
• 22:05
  and Teesside are a very strong team.
• 22:07
  I've played them. So I'm surprised that
• 22:08
  they didn't put any points up on the
• 22:10
  Warriors.
• 22:11
  So.
• 22:13
  Interesting one. It's it's it's um
• 22:17
  that is it is a big score, but
• 22:20
  fair play to the Warriors. Um
• 22:22
  I think we move on. Apologies again
• 22:24
  folks, we apologize about the streams.
• 22:26
  It's been posted on the Facebook page.
• 22:28
  It is still live on YouTube and
• 22:30
  Instagram. Have we got any comments on
• 22:32
  Instagram?
• 22:33
  Yeah, same comments as that. Oh, Black
• 22:35
  Panther Sports is actually seeing if we
• 22:36
  want to buy any kit off him. He's a
• 22:37
  manufacturer. We're not buying kits. We
• 22:39
  get this fish four times a day. Please
• 22:41
  stop. Right, before we go into week
• 22:43
  five, I want to show you I want to ask
• 22:46
  you all a question after you watch this
• 22:47
  video. Is this one of the best pitches
• 22:49
  in Britball? Staffordshire Surge. Bravo.
• 23:04
  >> [music]
• 23:09
  [music]
• 23:21
  >> Wow.
• 23:22
  Yeah.
• 23:23
  That
• 23:24
  And and just just these aren't a prem
• 23:26
  team. This is a div one team.
• 23:28
  Yeah. What people's thoughts on that?
• 23:30
  Quan, I'm going to you, mate. What are
• 23:31
  your thoughts on that? So I I saw this
• 23:34
  and
• 23:36
  honestly, I've been having a lot of talk
• 23:37
  about pitches and stuff
• 23:39
  in between our like the fields at at our
• 23:41
  team. Um you know, as we have
• 23:43
  aspirations for prem, that's one of the
• 23:45
  things that we're obviously always been
• 23:46
  talking about and like, you know,
• 23:48
  looking at other people's pitches and
• 23:50
  and what they do well and what we don't
• 23:52
  like, etc. Um it's a great field, if I'm
• 23:55
  honest. Uh the only downside I would say
• 23:57
  is I don't see any stands.
• 23:59
  And you know, as a club who is looking
• 24:01
  to grow and looking for you know, more
• 24:04
  fan support, more community buy-in and
• 24:07
  engagement, if you don't have any place
• 24:08
  for anybody to sit, it's going to be a
• 24:10
  bit difficult for you to you know, build
• 24:12
  that fan engagement. However, the
• 24:14
  markings are amazing, the uprights are
• 24:16
  amazing. It looks like a full-size field
• 24:18
  to me.
• 24:19
  I can see the numbers and that's
• 24:21
  something at our pitch that we are not
• 24:23
  able to do cuz they are marked in blue.
• 24:26
  But yeah, it's an amazing pitch, yeah.
• 24:28
  Um
• 24:29
  for me,
• 24:31
  so I played against Search quite a lot a
• 24:33
  few years ago and this is not me trying
• 24:35
  to offend them. They used to be like a
• 24:37
  pub team, pub team culture,
• 24:39
  all right, you know, all this, all that.
• 24:41
  They had that club is not that now. That
• 24:42
  club is brilliant. That club is
• 24:44
  absolutely fantastic. They're in a
• 24:46
  awfully hard division,
• 24:48
  the Midlands One division, which I call
• 24:51
  the cursed league. Um but Search, well
• 24:54
  done, folks. Should we get on to the
• 24:56
  results?
• 24:57
  Let's do it.
• 24:58
  >> Yes. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do
• 25:00
  it. So, we put a poll out to you guys
• 25:02
  last week saying
• 25:05
  what what do you want us to change about
• 25:06
  the show? And someone said, "Do Div Two
• 25:08
  first." And then we asked and you all
• 25:10
  agreed, so
• 25:12
  let's get into it. And not because it's
• 25:13
  my team.
• 25:14
  >> [laughter]
• 25:16
  >> What?
• 25:17
  First result,
• 25:18
  bish bash bosh, Lancashire Buccaneers 54
• 25:23
  Darlington Steam zero.
• 25:26
  Wow. Um I had a brilliant day. I I have
• 25:29
  had the worst week in such a long time.
• 25:33
  I and I'll be honest, I'm an open book.
• 25:35
  My mental health absolutely plummeted
• 25:36
  and I need a good game of football. And
• 25:38
  this is
• 25:39
  >> [laughter]
• 25:40
  >> Um I scored three out of three field
• 25:42
  goals as mentioned. Um made up, but
• 25:45
  forget about that. Our team, offense,
• 25:47
  defense, absolutely brilliant. Over 50
• 25:51
  players on the sideline and potentially
• 25:53
  a lot more who want to join.
• 25:55
  Now, Darlington Steam, I have to give
• 25:58
  them their due. Did anyone Has anyone
• 26:00
  seen Darlington Steam social media in
• 26:02
  the last 24 hours?
• 26:04
  >> [laughter]
• 26:06
  >> No, I did not. Oh, they they be They
• 26:09
  It's a I think it's about 3 and 1/2 hour
• 26:10
  4-hour coach trip.
• 26:12
  Yeah.
• 26:13
  And they were doing karaoke on the
• 26:14
  coach. They were doing Jägerbombs. They
• 26:16
  were doing all this, all that. There was
• 26:18
  big speakers, big boom boxes. They're
• 26:20
  all at the back.
• 26:20
  >> Awesome. I hope that coach driver got a
• 26:22
  tip of his life. But I will say this, if
• 26:25
  there is anyone in the Darlington area
• 26:27
  wanting to give that club a go, go and
• 26:28
  join them because their culture is
• 26:30
  absolutely
• 26:31
  spot-on. It was a brilliant result. Um I
• 26:34
  had a
• 26:36
  people message me going, "Why didn't you
• 26:37
  your own team number one?"
• 26:39
  And there's just one sole reason. It's
• 26:42
  the fact we've had three games,
• 26:44
  we've conceded a few silly points. The
• 26:47
  team I won hasn't. It's going to be an
• 26:49
  interesting one this weekend.
• 26:51
  Um is Steam that bad or are the Bucks
• 26:53
  that good? Um look
• 26:56
  I think obviously the Bucks went all the
• 26:58
  way last year and got beat in the final
• 27:00
  in the Gulag game after got rearranged
• 27:02
  and loads of our players couldn't be
• 27:04
  there. And
• 27:05
  them key players are here. Um I think
• 27:08
  we're a very very good team, but I was
• 27:10
  speaking to Lee about this before. Part
• 27:12
  of the reason I think if if if the Bucks
• 27:14
  did win this weekend convincingly and
• 27:16
  like another statement win of them going
• 27:18
  to the top is
• 27:19
  you look at the teams in the top 10,
• 27:21
  Humber in the power rankings, Humber
• 27:23
  Warhawks there, and so are the
• 27:24
  Lincolnshire Bombers.
• 27:25
  Whereas in
• 27:27
  uh Cardinals league
• 27:29
  I don't think any of the other teams are
• 27:30
  there. So, you know, maybe I don't know.
• 27:33
  Oh it was a brilliant game. Defense
• 27:35
  balled out, offense balled out. Thomas
• 27:37
  Cairns, our favorite Scouser, nearly got
• 27:41
  an interception. Oh my god, the whole
• 27:43
  line dropped to the floor. We thought he
• 27:45
  and he just missed it. But it was an
• 27:47
  absolute brilliant day with the boys and
• 27:48
  girls. Brilliant culture, brilliant
• 27:50
  club. I've spoken about nothing but my
• 27:52
  own team. Lee, do you have any thoughts
• 27:54
  on Well, I think this is just showing
• 27:56
  the dominance of of, you know, your
• 27:58
  team. You know, the the the Bucks are
• 28:00
  obviously out to to prove a point this
• 28:01
  year.
• 28:03
  Um you know, to to put a 50 burger on a
• 28:04
  team and to to walk away with the goose
• 28:07
  egg. I mean, that is that's something to
• 28:08
  be impressed, you know. That's it's very
• 28:10
  impressive to to to have those uh
• 28:14
  two sort of scorelines to to walk away
• 28:15
  with. Um obviously Darlington, you know,
• 28:18
  traveling down is brilliant.
• 28:20
  Um you know, all the best for the rest
• 28:22
  of their season. Um but I think yeah,
• 28:23
  we're we're just looking now at the
• 28:26
  the frontrunners. I think they're
• 28:27
  emerging from sort of all levels of of
• 28:30
  brickball with with the Bucks, the
• 28:32
  Cardinals.
• 28:33
  Um and you know
• 28:35
  there is there is there obviously the
• 28:37
  Plymouth Vanguard as well down in their
• 28:38
  division. Yeah, there is
• 28:40
  dominant teams are emerging.
• 28:42
  Um so it'll be interesting to see
• 28:45
  um you know, how how much how how the
• 28:47
  next game with the Bucks cuz you've
• 28:49
  obviously had four games on the bounce,
• 28:50
  haven't you? Yeah, that's it's it's not
• 28:52
  ideal, but
• 28:54
  you've literally got one under in the
• 28:55
  playoffs if we win next week for me.
• 28:57
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 28:58
  >> And you know,
• 28:59
  um, Quan, I'm sure you'll know this,
• 29:02
  there's 2 weeks left in the transfer
• 29:03
  window. Mhm. It's it's well then forced
• 29:06
  on Donny starting to charge for home
• 29:08
  games. Seems a bold move for Div 2 team.
• 29:11
  No, I'm I'm
• 29:12
  I'm up for it. Um, I think if you're
• 29:14
  providing a great service and you want
• 29:15
  to go up, yeah, I'm I'm up for it. I
• 29:17
  don't think people realize how expensive
• 29:19
  this sport is to run.
• 29:20
  Um,
• 29:20
  >> Yeah.
• 29:21
  you know, not even like on a personal
• 29:23
  you know, standpoint in terms of
• 29:24
  equipment like pitches that their fees
• 29:27
  have gone skyrocket, you know. I I'm not
• 29:29
  going to name the team, but I've been
• 29:30
  made aware of a team in the Prem. I'm
• 29:32
  not saying Prem North, I'm not saying
• 29:33
  Prem South. They currently don't have a
• 29:34
  home field to to play the games on. I'm
• 29:37
  not saying what we're not announcing it
• 29:38
  or anything like that who it is cuz they
• 29:40
  don't need any more pressure, but
• 29:43
  you know, a lot of teams are struggling
• 29:44
  um,
• 29:45
  to to
• 29:48
  you know, to to to get access to
• 29:49
  pitches. Live, if you want to leave and
• 29:50
  then jump back in, mate. Try and fix
• 29:52
  your camera. Don't worry, mate, I can
• 29:53
  see.
• 29:54
  Quan,
• 29:55
  do you know much about the Div 2 setup,
• 29:57
  mate? I know a Yeah, I know a few of the
• 29:59
  teams that have gone up and come down a
• 30:01
  little bit. But I I wanted to first flip
• 30:04
  your question that you gave to me onto
• 30:06
  you and ask you, what are you guys'
• 30:08
  aspirations for the Bucks this season?
• 30:11
  Oh, um, I'm going to level with you
• 30:13
  straight away, mate, but winning winning
• 30:15
  everything. Yeah? Winning everything.
• 30:18
  Um,
• 30:18
  yeah, like
• 30:20
  we've
• 30:22
  we've recruited very very well.
• 30:24
  And I'm talking, you know, some ex-Prem
• 30:27
  players as well.
• 30:29
  Um, and I know other clubs are also
• 30:31
  recruiting very well. We we just got a
• 30:32
  guy Carl Rugen, brilliant, mate. He he
• 30:34
  he hit three people in a row
• 30:36
  in this on the same play and knocked all
• 30:38
  three of them out. It was
• 30:40
  It It a kick I think it was a kickoff or
• 30:42
  a punch. And I've never laughed so hard
• 30:44
  on on the floor. I was rolling in
• 30:46
  laughter.
• 30:49
  We're we're we're aiming to all all the
• 30:51
  way.
• 30:52
  It's interesting because if we finish
• 30:54
  top
• 30:55
  we'll play whoever second of Midlands.
• 30:58
  Mhm. Win that, we're promoted, but then
• 31:00
  we play in the final and we're playing
• 31:02
  for a ring.
• 31:03
  But we're not looking any game ahead. So
• 31:07
  we're not skipping any opponents. We're
• 31:09
  just next game which is Gateshead. And
• 31:12
  we're aiming to to to
• 31:14
  to make a statement.
• 31:16
  Yeah, X9 hope that's correct. Live, I'll
• 31:18
  try and get you back on now. But that's
• 31:20
  our aim.
• 31:20
  >> Yeah.
• 31:21
  You know, and I think that I think
• 31:23
  that's how it should be for everyone.
• 31:25
  Like I think I think Coventry have just
• 31:28
  got promoted to the I'm talking soccer
• 31:30
  here. Coventry have just got the Premier
• 31:31
  League.
• 31:32
  Their aim should be to finish top.
• 31:37
  If
• 31:38
  cuz if their aim should be to finish top
• 31:40
  of that league, are they going to do it?
• 31:42
  No. But
• 31:44
  you know,
• 31:45
  we're all we're all we're all
• 31:46
  competitive. There's a reason we
• 31:47
  put our body through this.
• 31:49
  Yeah, he is a great you know, we love
• 31:51
  this sport. It's the hardest sport to
• 31:53
  walk away from. The amount of times I've
• 31:54
  said I'm retired, I'm done. And I've
• 31:55
  wrote myself back in and you know, and
• 31:57
  stuff like that. I I love this sport. I
• 31:59
  look, you know, I'm at a club where
• 32:02
  um
• 32:02
  the the culture it it it is brilliant.
• 32:04
  We've got some fantastic coaches who all
• 32:07
  work together who
• 32:09
  share each other for our players.
• 32:12
  Do you think Yeah, I do. I do think I do
• 32:14
  I think we are we're better than a lot
• 32:15
  of teams in
• 32:17
  in
• 32:18
  in div one around our area.
• 32:20
  But
• 32:22
  it's the same with everyone or like like
• 32:24
  I'll do you if you don't mind me asking,
• 32:25
  Quan. I'm 32. 32, right. Yeah.
• 32:29
  And as long as your body can take it,
• 32:30
  I'm sure you're just going to keep on
• 32:31
  playing.
• 32:32
  Yeah, but just like you, I have retired
• 32:33
  several times.
• 32:35
  >> [laughter]
• 32:37
  >> I've I've lost like four and a half
• 32:39
  stone in the last year. So, I couldn't I
• 32:41
  couldn't play O-line anymore. I'm not
• 32:42
  big enough to play O-line. Yeah. I'm not
• 32:44
  young enough either. So, I was sat in
• 32:46
  Tunisia
• 32:47
  in a hotel having my 12th whiskey and
• 32:50
  coke. And you know, my wife was like,
• 32:51
  "What was that?" She's like, "Play
• 32:52
  football. I'm good." She's like, "You
• 32:54
  know a play position where you don't get
• 32:55
  touched." I was like, "Yeah, field
• 32:56
  goals." I was like, "Yeah, just do
• 32:57
  that." I'm ringing up me coach.
• 33:01
  >> [laughter]
• 33:03
  >> Liv, any thoughts on this result?
• 33:06
  Um
• 33:07
  nothing that's not already kind of been
• 33:08
  said. Yeah. You know, it's a very strong
• 33:11
  result for Div 2.
• 33:13
  Yeah.
• 33:14
  Uh coach Grosvenor uh Grosvenor up the
• 33:16
  Bucks. Most handsome active D-tackle in
• 33:19
  Britball.
• 33:20
  Um
• 33:21
  I haven't played defensive tackle for a
• 33:22
  long time before I'll take that. I
• 33:23
  confirm that retirement is pretty great.
• 33:25
  >> [laughter]
• 33:26
  >> Oh, I'd love that guy to be back in
• 33:28
  Britball. There's so many good
• 33:29
  characters in Britball that are on and
• 33:31
  you know, aren't involved in a team that
• 33:32
  you you want. And he's one of them,
• 33:34
  great guy. Right. Next result, Doncaster
• 33:37
  Sorry, everyone apart from John picked
• 33:40
  um the Bucks to win. Next up,
• 33:42
  Doncaster Mustangs 7 Wakefield District
• 33:45
  Raiders 20. Um now, I backed the
• 33:48
  Mustangs because I know both of these
• 33:50
  teams have recruited well and how quick
• 33:52
  the players have settled. And
• 33:54
  there's some really really good players
• 33:55
  in in Mustangs. You know, ex-Div 1
• 33:57
  players and stuff like ex-Prem players
• 33:59
  as well.
• 34:00
  Um
• 34:01
  this is a bit of an interesting league.
• 34:02
  Great result. We had one that clips up
• 34:05
  before. They seem like a really unified
• 34:07
  team. And
• 34:09
  not that they've announced this, I can
• 34:10
  announce that they've also
• 34:12
  I can announce Let me rephrase that. I
• 34:14
  know they've signed some more ex-Alphas
• 34:15
  players. So, that's going to be a very
• 34:17
  very interesting team because Rossendale
• 34:20
  are unbeaten. Wakefield, yes, they've
• 34:21
  had a loss, but they got revenge on that
• 34:23
  loss. Liv, what are your thoughts on
• 34:25
  Wakefield here?
• 34:27
  Um they're definitely starting to become
• 34:29
  a force to be reckoned with in their
• 34:31
  bracket. It will be interesting to see,
• 34:34
  you know, if the the Alphas players that
• 34:36
  they have picked up. It'll be
• 34:37
  interesting to kind of like just
• 34:40
  see if they're now on that level with
• 34:43
  the Bucks as in Rosedale.
• 34:45
  Um but yeah, definitely be interesting
• 34:47
  to kind of watch them
• 34:49
  throughout
• 34:50
  the
• 34:51
  forever how many matches they've got
• 34:53
  left. I've
• 34:54
  I've lost count how many matches
• 34:55
  everyone has. I get confused with Div 2
• 34:57
  and how many they all play.
• 34:58
  Oh, sorry. Um coach girls now was
• 35:01
  talking about Mr. Remington. So I'm just
• 35:02
  going to go on Facebook and delete him.
• 35:04
  So that's fine.
• 35:05
  >> [laughter]
• 35:07
  >> Quan, do you know anything about any of
• 35:08
  these teams? Don't worry if you don't
• 35:09
  mate. We are coming up to your division.
• 35:11
  Of these two teams that you just
• 35:13
  mentioned, no. Uh but some of the other
• 35:15
  ones further down I do. Yeah. Okay. Lee,
• 35:17
  any thoughts on this one? Yeah, I mean I
• 35:19
  think we discussed this last week and
• 35:20
  obviously Wakefield and Doncaster, you
• 35:22
  know, that they're not a million miles
• 35:24
  away from from where the Alphas are
• 35:26
  situated. Um so both teams, you know,
• 35:29
  obviously had their fair share of
• 35:30
  recruitment from
• 35:32
  uh the Alphas
• 35:33
  demise.
• 35:35
  Um and [clears throat]
• 35:36
  obviously this was a it was a closely
• 35:38
  fought game.
• 35:39
  Um obviously Wakefield have got
• 35:40
  something go something special going on
• 35:42
  there. So it'll be interesting to see
• 35:44
  how they how they progress. They've
• 35:46
  they've got momentum.
• 35:47
  And I can guarantee that
• 35:49
  cuz that's just going to get bigger and
• 35:50
  bigger and bigger. They've got a lot of
• 35:53
  momentum.
• 35:54
  Um let's move on Oh, sorry. Yeah,
• 35:56
  myself. Oh god, this is hard to do. Now
• 35:58
  pick six and be honest. Six. We got it
• 36:01
  wrong. Um let's move on before I sneeze.
• 36:04
  Um Lee, can you do the next score? Yeah,
• 36:06
  so the next score is Ouse Valley Eagles
• 36:08
  10
• 36:09
  uh and the uh
• 36:11
  Berkshire Renegades and nil.
• 36:14
  Um so this is uh sort of the the the
• 36:16
  revenge match for the for the Ouse
• 36:18
  Valley Eagles. Sorry mate, this
• 36:20
  comment's great.
• 36:21
  >> [laughter]
• 36:21
  >> Only must be charging to get their VO
• 36:23
  fixed. Looks like they ain't bit film.
• 36:26
  Yeah.
• 36:27
  >> [laughter]
• 36:28
  >> Um yeah, so yeah, Ouse Valley Eagles um
• 36:32
  obviously they played Berkshire Renegade
• 36:33
  last week um
• 36:35
  and the Berkshire Renegades beat them
• 36:37
  10-0
• 36:38
  at Ouse Valley and we've just had the
• 36:41
  complete opposite. Uh the Ouse Valley
• 36:43
  has traveled all the way down to
• 36:44
  Berkshire and beat them by 10 points. So
• 36:46
  this is a uh a a a punch for punch sort
• 36:50
  of blow for the away teams. Um
• 36:52
  the the
• 36:53
  our little uh insider, Jessica Thripp
• 36:56
  who who plays for Ouse Valley Eagles, he
• 36:57
  told us last week that um
• 36:59
  it could have gone either way
• 37:01
  and it looks like this week it has gone
• 37:03
  the other way uh with the exact same
• 37:05
  points. So um yeah, Ouse Valley are you
• 37:08
  know, they're still in contention. Um
• 37:10
  obviously they've still got to play the
• 37:11
  the the Cardinals.
• 37:12
  Um
• 37:14
  uh but yeah, I think they
• 37:16
  it it they are they're a competitive
• 37:17
  team.
• 37:18
  Um
• 37:19
  yeah, it'll be interesting to see how
• 37:20
  they they fare up against the Cards in
• 37:22
  this in this division.
• 37:24
  Uh me personally, I think Cardinals slap
• 37:26
  everyone in that division. Don't get me
• 37:27
  wrong. Um but they just
• 37:29
  they just look very very good, very
• 37:31
  physical. Um
• 37:33
  got anything on this one? Do you know
• 37:34
  anyone on these two?
• 37:36
  For
• 37:37
  Is it uh Berkshire Renegades or Yeah,
• 37:39
  Berkshire Renegades, yeah. Yeah,
• 37:40
  Berkshire Renegades. Um so they
• 37:42
  surprised me as a team that's been
• 37:44
  relegated cuz they were previously Div
• 37:45
  1, correct? Correct. Correct. Yeah, so I
• 37:48
  and I don't think they they've won a
• 37:49
  game since they've been brought down. So
• 37:51
  I'm curious as to what exactly is
• 37:53
  happening in that club and why they're
• 37:54
  struggling.
• 37:54
  >> They did They did win They did win last
• 37:56
  year last week at Ouse Valley. So they
• 37:58
  they played the the other fixture.
• 38:00
  >> Oh, the oh, the return fixture. Okay, so
• 38:01
  this is the return fixture. Interesting.
• 38:04
  Yeah, so they they seem to be struggling
• 38:06
  to adapt, which is you know, just
• 38:07
  curious. And that's the same thing I was
• 38:09
  going to say with uh
• 38:10
  the next team over there on Norwich. Um
• 38:13
  which I'm quite familiar with, you know,
• 38:14
  so uh People get always Yeah. At home
• 38:17
  moment, Liv, what do you think on this
• 38:18
  one, mate?
• 38:19
  Um
• 38:21
  nothing that Liv has kind of not said. I
• 38:23
  mean, you know, we we both know Jess. We
• 38:25
  both kind of had the conversation with
• 38:27
  her about this return fixture.
• 38:30
  And yeah, it's it's not surprising. I do
• 38:32
  think Ouse are going to be a good
• 38:34
  contender this year. Um I do think that
• 38:37
  it will be a very interesting match-up
• 38:38
  with Ouse and Ipswich as well. I do
• 38:41
  think that Ipswich will win, but I don't
• 38:43
  think by much. So, I do think it's going
• 38:45
  to be a very good pound-for-pound match,
• 38:48
  but yeah, that win against score
• 38:51
  wasn't
• 38:52
  didn't it's not like it stole me for a
• 38:55
  punch. It was very much, especially with
• 38:57
  the result last week, it's very much
• 38:58
  like it could have gone either way.
• 39:00
  I'm not surprised it went to Ouse
• 39:02
  though.
• 39:03
  Okay.
• 39:05
  So, just just have just on the another
• 39:07
  one on this one. Um
• 39:09
  Uh we've had somebody reach out from
• 39:10
  from Ipswich Cardinals asking us when
• 39:12
  we're going to stream their games.
• 39:14
  Um Hey.
• 39:14
  >> I've had a look at I've had a look. I've
• 39:16
  had a look at the scheduler and Ouse
• 39:18
  Valley Eagles versus the Cardinals looks
• 39:20
  like a good fixture for me to come down
• 39:22
  and stream. So, uh just I'm going to
• 39:24
  reach out to the to the Ouse Valley team
• 39:26
  and and hopefully we can get a stream
• 39:28
  going. Um just on streams, if any teams
• 39:31
  out there um
• 39:32
  want to stream on our platform, our
• 39:33
  YouTube, our TikTok, and our Facebook
• 39:35
  all at the same time, um I've got it all
• 39:38
  set up.
• 39:40
  All you need is literally a a camera or
• 39:42
  something to record and a laptop a
• 39:44
  laptop to update the scores.
• 39:46
  I believe Ipswich Mavericks might be
• 39:48
  doing it. We're working with them at the
• 39:49
  moment. So, that will be great. Um
• 39:52
  Vanguard are gagging for a streamed game
• 39:54
  too. Could have read that a lot worse.
• 39:56
  Thank you.
• 39:57
  >> [laughter]
• 39:59
  >> Um
• 40:00
  I mean,
• 40:01
  look, let's let's let's let's talk
• 40:02
  Ipswich Cardinals.
• 40:04
  Yeah, let's do it. 32-0.
• 40:07
  They've yet to concede a point.
• 40:10
  My only concern is
• 40:12
  and I'm I am not trying to have a dig at
• 40:14
  any team. I love football. I want
• 40:16
  everyone to succeed. Is that league Are
• 40:18
  they just levels above everyone in that
• 40:20
  league or are the other teams maybe not
• 40:22
  so good? Quan, I'm going to come to you
• 40:24
  with that difficult question.
• 40:27
  Yeah. So, without, you know, knowing too
• 40:30
  much about Division Two,
• 40:32
  I'm familiar with both those teams. So,
• 40:33
  Ipswich,
• 40:35
  you know, they they've got a good
• 40:37
  program down there.
• 40:38
  And I don't think they have too much
• 40:41
  competition
• 40:43
  in the in in forms of catchment area,
• 40:45
  from what I'm aware of.
• 40:47
  I know Norwich
• 40:48
  was in Div One previously. We used to
• 40:50
  play them, the Mavericks.
• 40:52
  I think when they got relegated, it was
• 40:54
  because of a walkover fixture against
• 40:56
  us. They didn't travel down to play us.
• 41:00
  I know the program quite well because
• 41:02
  their team,
• 41:04
  Cambridge Cats,
• 41:05
  sometimes, not too many of them, but
• 41:07
  some of them, and an old team that's no
• 41:08
  longer here, Bury Saints, all used to
• 41:11
  recruit heavily from the military bases
• 41:13
  where I was stationed stationed out up
• 41:14
  there. And so, I know Norwich has
• 41:16
  struggled for a while since, you know,
• 41:18
  getting Americans, losing Americans,
• 41:19
  getting Americans, losing Americans
• 41:21
  whenever they would deploy.
• 41:22
  I just don't know if they have the
• 41:25
  structure, I guess, in their program to
• 41:27
  kind of survive with the local talent.
• 41:30
  And it's kind of demonstrated in their
• 41:33
  scorelines here. So, I I mean,
• 41:35
  obviously, I haven't watched this game
• 41:36
  specifically, but you can tell that
• 41:38
  they're not really
• 41:40
  performing well.
• 41:42
  And it's going to show with their
• 41:43
  scorelines throughout the season, I
• 41:44
  think. So, it's a bit worrisome for for
• 41:47
  the
• 41:48
  you know, teams that are like that, but
• 41:50
  I'm just reading this comment. Yeah, so
• 41:52
  I I I I can't really comment too much
• 41:53
  about that, you know, but Ipswich does
• 41:55
  look solid. They have looked solid since
• 41:56
  last season. And I think they're going
• 41:58
  to continue to to put on a show this
• 41:59
  year. I can expect to challenge the the
• 42:02
  Bucks, maybe Mateo. We'll see what
• 42:04
  happens. We No, no, we we wouldn't play
• 42:06
  each other. Oh, you wouldn't? No, no.
• 42:09
  Maybe maybe maybe in the North-South
• 42:11
  final if they if you all make it that
• 42:13
  far. Uh okay. Um Fair enough. I don't
• 42:15
  know if they do the North South final,
• 42:16
  are they? Yeah, they're doing it.
• 42:17
  They've brought it back this year. Oh,
• 42:20
  hopefully we do. Um that'll be great. Um
• 42:23
  We'll get blooded after it, do karaoke
• 42:25
  and Jägerbombs and
• 42:27
  >> [laughter]
• 42:27
  >> my version of the Haymarket Arena. Liv,
• 42:29
  what did you think on this one?
• 42:31
  Um again, I'm not surprised. You know,
• 42:33
  Cats, we had a scrim. I think we've said
• 42:35
  it so many times. Cats have had the
• 42:36
  preseason scrim with Ipswich, and those
• 42:38
  boys, they have a lot of heart. You
• 42:41
  know, I got a few people that were
• 42:42
  associated with the team last year that
• 42:43
  I know, and like I still got a kind of
• 42:45
  friend that still plays for them. So,
• 42:47
  it's
• 42:48
  like
• 42:49
  I'm not surprised. Norwich
• 42:53
  it's it's surprising cuz they do have a
• 42:55
  good uni base. They do have UEA, but I
• 42:57
  know a lot of the UEA guys have come to
• 42:59
  play at the prem level, rather than
• 43:00
  playing at the div two level.
• 43:03
  I know Norwich were they were
• 43:04
  semi-decent last year. I know they had a
• 43:06
  couple wins under their belts. Um they
• 43:08
  seemed really like a really decent side
• 43:10
  last year.
• 43:11
  In comparison to this year, I don't know
• 43:13
  what has happened. I don't know why they
• 43:16
  they're not scoring as many points as
• 43:18
  what they've have done. I don't know if
• 43:19
  they've even scored points this season.
• 43:21
  I know they have lost I think all the
• 43:23
  games that they have played. So, it is
• 43:26
  it's surprising that a program that was
• 43:28
  successful previously is not kind of
• 43:31
  living up to that height that they were
• 43:33
  last year.
• 43:34
  Um but yeah, again, I'm not surprised
• 43:36
  that Ipswich have steamrolled. They are
• 43:38
  they're looking like they're going to be
• 43:39
  a force to be reckoned with, especially
• 43:41
  in that battle for the div one
• 43:42
  promotion.
• 43:44
  Okay. Lee, any comments on
• 43:46
  Yeah, so I mean the only comment I'm
• 43:48
  going to add to this, obviously we've
• 43:49
  said a lot about this these teams.
• 43:52
  Um you know, that the Cardinals, they've
• 43:53
  got a very good youth program
• 43:56
  um set up down there.
• 43:58
  Uh and you know, last year the the the
• 44:01
  Cardinals were competitive in the under
• 44:02
  19s.
• 44:04
  Um from what I can gather though, that a
• 44:06
  lot of their
• 44:07
  talented players have have graduated
• 44:09
  from them
• 44:11
  and now moved into the adult league
• 44:13
  themselves. So, they've obviously got,
• 44:15
  you know, that that
• 44:17
  throughput from the from the under-19s
• 44:20
  and those good players are now playing
• 44:22
  for the adults. So, yeah, again, I know
• 44:25
  I know a fair few players down at the
• 44:26
  Cardinals and and they are a great bunch
• 44:28
  of guys.
• 44:29
  So, it's unsurprising that they're
• 44:32
  they're doing really well this year.
• 44:35
  So, yeah, just just I hope to I say if
• 44:37
  we can get that if we can get that live
• 44:38
  stream going for between the
• 44:40
  the Usk Valley Eagles and the Cardinals,
• 44:42
  then that'll be great.
• 44:44
  Well, let's go on to this next game cuz
• 44:45
  I've got a bit of report from it.
• 44:47
  Cornwall Monarchs zero,
• 44:49
  um
• 44:49
  Plymouth Vanguard 23. Really good start
• 44:51
  by Plymouth this. Um
• 44:54
  Vanguard Vanguard traveled once again to
• 44:56
  face Cornwall Monarchs. The offense once
• 44:57
  again continued this series of strong
• 44:59
  starts with a rushing touchdown from QB
• 45:01
  11, Matt Sayer.
• 45:03
  Um the second quarter saw momentum stall
• 45:05
  up both defenses and made each yard each
• 45:09
  yard hard earned. Uh halftime, it was
• 45:10
  only 7-0.
• 45:12
  Uh the third quarter saw Sayer once
• 45:14
  again hit a massive 60-yard run taking
• 45:16
  the score to 14-0.
• 45:18
  Um a safety early in the fourth quarter
• 45:20
  and the final nail came with Joel B.
• 45:22
  Wolfenden-Brown secured a pick-six to
• 45:25
  put the game to bed. Full-time 23-0.
• 45:27
  Sayer with two rushing touchdowns,
• 45:30
  Brown with one pick-six and safety Dave
• 45:32
  Morrison three times XP. Um Oh, and big
• 45:35
  rain storms.
• 45:37
  Um so, it was a rainy game, apparently.
• 45:39
  Um I'm not surprised by this result, but
• 45:42
  fair play to Cornwall. They're still
• 45:43
  cracking on. They're still going. Um
• 45:45
  stick with it.
• 45:46
  Um
• 45:48
  any comments from anyone on this one?
• 45:50
  Yeah, so I I'd got a bit of information
• 45:52
  on this one as well. So,
• 45:54
  I got told that the the Vanguard's
• 45:57
  starting running back um
• 45:59
  was was out injured for this match. So,
• 46:00
  he he didn't he didn't manage to get in
• 46:02
  kit. Um and their their second second
• 46:06
  running back
• 46:08
  also had a
• 46:09
  a bit of a nasty neck head injury uh
• 46:12
  after a face mask um on one of the
• 46:16
  one of the plays.
• 46:17
  Um so they're without their
• 46:20
  um
• 46:21
  out with out without their two sort of
• 46:23
  starting running backs.
• 46:24
  Uh so the the fact that they kept the
• 46:26
  momentum going
• 46:28
  I've got a bit of misinformation. Do
• 46:29
  apologize. Aaron L Aaron Davis
• 46:31
  >> Davis. I thought I mentioned Elvis
• 46:33
  scored.
• 46:34
  >> Elvis, I thought that as well.
• 46:35
  Um yeah, so it it so so the fact that
• 46:38
  they put 23 points on the board um is is
• 46:41
  is great to see.
• 46:43
  Um but yeah, uh I think I think the
• 46:45
  Vanguard are running away with this
• 46:46
  division, aren't they? Uh Oxford
• 46:48
  scrimmaged Vanguard in the preseason.
• 46:50
  Good outfit. Best of luck to them.
• 46:52
  There you go.
• 46:53
  That's coming from a a really good
• 46:54
  Oxford team as well, so
• 46:56
  uh yeah. Um
• 46:57
  it's yeah, as I said, the Vanguard are
• 46:59
  running away with this one. Go on. What
• 47:01
  do you think of this game? Uh I just
• 47:04
  find it awesome to see a team come from
• 47:05
  associate status season and then come up
• 47:07
  to Div II and have some success, you
• 47:09
  know? It's really I think that they're
• 47:11
  Are they undefeated right now, Plymouth?
• 47:13
  Uh yes, I believe so. Yeah. Yeah.
• 47:16
  >> That's amazing to see, you know? They
• 47:17
  put together a program that's, you know,
• 47:19
  clearly well thought out and planned,
• 47:20
  and the coaching staff is doing some
• 47:22
  really good things down there, so it's
• 47:23
  nice to see.
• 47:24
  Yeah. Just a just a correction on my
• 47:26
  behalf there. QB uh the running back one
• 47:28
  was on parental duty, not injured, so um
• 47:31
  there we go. So that's that's good to
• 47:32
  know. He's he's back he's back again in
• 47:35
  in the near future, I'm sure.
• 47:37
  Live
• 47:39
  Yeah, um it appears from the comments
• 47:41
  that Conrall a bit like boxing that, you
• 47:44
  know, you they've had three games on the
• 47:45
  bounce, so they have had a lot of
• 47:47
  injuries by the looks of it. Which isn't
• 47:49
  surprising. It's the only thing about
• 47:51
  like uh Brett Ball is sometimes you will
• 47:54
  have all those all those matches on the
• 47:55
  bounce, and if they are very like high
• 47:57
  intensity matches, like those injuries
• 47:59
  are going to suck. And if you've not
• 48:01
  kind of got the depth behind it, that
• 48:03
  can kind of kill you. It is Cornwall
• 48:06
  that had the dad coming in play QB's,
• 48:09
  wasn't it? Or last week. Yeah. So again,
• 48:12
  this is a another reverse fixture, but
• 48:14
  it's not a reverse fixture cuz it's
• 48:15
  still getting held at Cornwall. It's
• 48:17
  played last week. Yeah, I think Plymouth
• 48:19
  have issues getting getting the ground
• 48:20
  sorted, so
• 48:22
  Yeah. I mean, from We we we spoke about
• 48:25
  this before. Like clubs costs are going
• 48:27
  up and up and up. So if clubs want to
• 48:28
  start charging
• 48:31
  Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I know they have a
• 48:33
  quite a good set up down there in terms
• 48:35
  of the game day experience. You see it
• 48:36
  on like their Instagram. I know from a
• 48:39
  few people I've been kind of been down
• 48:40
  that way for some of the matches and
• 48:42
  that. They looks like they do have a
• 48:44
  good set up. So it is kind of good to
• 48:45
  see how well they are doing. I do hope
• 48:47
  that, you know, we do see them maybe
• 48:49
  come up into Div 1, but yeah, very
• 48:51
  strong very strong game from them.
• 48:54
  Okay, let's get into Div 1, the most
• 48:56
  difficult league out of a lot of them,
• 48:57
  especially when we're doing these bloody
• 48:59
  power rankings. Sorry, I'm
• 49:00
  sorry.
• 49:01
  I'm not getting anyone else playing for
• 49:02
  that. Um right, so
• 49:06
  Chester Romans zero,
• 49:08
  Yorkshire Rams 35.
• 49:11
  I seen a clip on Chester Romans social
• 49:15
  of the guys running out.
• 49:17
  And every time I see a clip like that, I
• 49:18
  always count.
• 49:20
  Wasn't great. Now, whether they're all
• 49:21
  cuz I didn't see any big guys, so maybe
• 49:23
  their O line and D line were already on
• 49:25
  the pitch. We know O line and D line
• 49:26
  don't like running.
• 49:28
  Um
• 49:30
  It's not good. Cuz
• 49:33
  if you finish bottom this season, that's
• 49:34
  it. You
• 49:35
  you you you you you're relegated.
• 49:36
  There's no there's no Gulag game.
• 49:40
  Do Chester Romans need to go down
• 49:43
  to just
• 49:44
  steady the ship,
• 49:45
  get better and come back up? Because
• 49:48
  part of me says no. I I I have a lot of
• 49:50
  love for this team. Um I I used to play
• 49:52
  for this team. Um Um,
• 49:55
  but they're in a very tough division.
• 49:57
  Newcastle Vikings,
• 49:59
  Yorkshire Rams,
• 50:01
  Sheffield Giants who who don't look too
• 50:03
  bad either. And then they've got two
• 50:04
  games in Scotland. Sorry, two games
• 50:06
  against Scottish teams.
• 50:09
  Uh, Liam, I'm going to go to you for
• 50:10
  your thoughts on this one, mate. Now,
• 50:12
  bef- [snorts] before you speak, mate, I
• 50:14
  I genuinely think Yorkshire Rams have
• 50:16
  still got a good chance of winning a
• 50:17
  lot. Um, that's how good the Rams and
• 50:20
  the Vikings are. That game is a
• 50:21
  brilliant game. What you thought?
• 50:23
  Yeah, I mean, this is it. I think, you
• 50:25
  know, that
• 50:26
  that that is a really tough division to
• 50:28
  be in, you know, the the Rams and the
• 50:31
  Vikings are
• 50:32
  uh, they are they are two big teams in
• 50:35
  that division.
• 50:37
  And I think anybody else trying to
• 50:38
  compete with them is is is going to fall
• 50:40
  short. And I think that's exactly what's
• 50:42
  happened here is,
• 50:43
  you know, the Romans have have gone up
• 50:45
  against, you know, a Goliath team like
• 50:47
  the Rams.
• 50:49
  Um,
• 50:49
  and and unfortunately just fell short,
• 50:51
  you know, obviously
• 50:52
  the score did shock me a little bit. I
• 50:54
  thought the Romans may have, you know,
• 50:56
  put even just three points on the board.
• 50:58
  Um,
• 50:59
  but, you know,
• 51:01
  it it really does show the dominance of
• 51:03
  of how the the Rams have have recruited
• 51:05
  this year and and
• 51:07
  and putting a statement out there that
• 51:08
  they really do mean mean business this
• 51:10
  year.
• 51:11
  Um, Liv, what do you think on this game?
• 51:14
  Again, I'm not surprised based on who I
• 51:16
  know is like on the team who's
• 51:19
  previously played at Cats.
• 51:20
  >> You got more friends? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 51:23
  Well, it's We know we know guys on it.
• 51:25
  Yeah. It's it's people that, you know,
• 51:27
  they're former Cats players. Um, so I've
• 51:30
  kind of gotten to know them through um,
• 51:32
  some of my friends on Cats.
• 51:34
  Um, yeah, I'm not surprised. I I mean, I
• 51:36
  seen a clip from one said friend of him
• 51:39
  absolutely just crashing into someone
• 51:42
  and sending someone flying on I think
• 51:44
  was it it might have been a special
• 51:46
  team. It might have been on return, and
• 51:48
  he just hit the guy and the guy down and
• 51:51
  then hit another guy and the guy down.
• 51:52
  So, it's
• 51:54
  they you know, they've got some big
• 51:55
  heavy hitters, so
• 51:57
  I'm not I'm not surprised. I do feel for
• 51:59
  Chester, obviously, like they have
• 52:02
  it's not
• 52:03
  great to be beat at home. It's never a
• 52:05
  good feeling, but The The The are
• 52:08
  The The are actually a well-run club.
• 52:09
  But, there's there's people that
• 52:10
  volunteer there that that are absolutely
• 52:12
  brilliant. Um Ickle and Ant, I actually
• 52:14
  love them two guys. They're They're
• 52:15
  really good.
• 52:16
  Um
• 52:17
  it's just
• 52:18
  it's hard because they've lost so many
• 52:21
  players to like Manchester Titans and
• 52:23
  and Merseyside Nighthawks.
• 52:25
  Um and other clubs as well. Um you know,
• 52:27
  we've got a quite a few from them at the
• 52:29
  Bucks. Um so, it it is an interesting
• 52:31
  one. Uh when the Cheaters 2017 went 0
• 52:34
  and 10 relegated to Div 2, 2018 won the
• 52:36
  Div 2 final and got promoted, best thing
• 52:39
  happened to them was to press that reset
• 52:40
  button. Maybe that's what Chester need.
• 52:42
  Kwan, I'm coming to you, brother.
• 52:45
  Yeah, I think that they have a really
• 52:47
  tough time in that division that they're
• 52:48
  in at the moment. I Yeah, I I think
• 52:51
  that's there's a few divisions that are
• 52:52
  like that, and they have a team that can
• 52:54
  potentially compete maybe at other parts
• 52:57
  of the division. Uh however, just where
• 52:59
  they happen to find themselves, they're
• 53:01
  number three or number four in that
• 53:03
  division. And I I think that they fall
• 53:04
  into the category of one of those teams,
• 53:06
  unfortunately. And um you know, as the
• 53:08
  comment would have said it, it might
• 53:10
  just need to hit that reset button.
• 53:12
  Okay, we've all spoken on this one. Lee,
• 53:14
  have you spoke? Yeah.
• 53:16
  Okay, let's move on. Uh
• 53:18
  great game, this one.
• 53:19
  Clyde Valley Blackhawks 13, Sheffield
• 53:23
  Giants eight.
• 53:24
  The reverse fixture, Giants battered
• 53:26
  them.
• 53:27
  And this is where we go on our travel.
• 53:29
  13-8.
• 53:31
  Fair play.
• 53:32
  Fair play, cuz I know the Giants were
• 53:34
  winning 6-0 at one point.
• 53:36
  Great win for Clyde Valley.
• 53:39
  Um I love seeing the Scottish teams do
• 53:40
  well as well. Kwan, I'm coming straight
• 53:42
  back to you on this one, mate.
• 53:44
  Yeah, I don't know much about the
• 53:45
  northern teams, if I'm honest. Beautiful
• 53:48
  league, mate. Brilliant.
• 53:51
  Well, we'll skip you then, mate. Uh Lee,
• 53:52
  you're up.
• 53:53
  >> [laughter]
• 53:54
  >> Um I mean, to to be fair, Kwame, I know
• 53:57
  nothing about the northern teams,
• 53:58
  either.
• 54:01
  >> [laughter]
• 54:03
  >> Um you know, I think geographically, I
• 54:06
  don't think this is a is is a is a
• 54:08
  no-brainer, you know, when when you've
• 54:10
  got teams from you know, Sheffield, you
• 54:13
  know, we're talking South Yorkshire
• 54:14
  here, having to travel all the way up,
• 54:17
  you know, over the border and and
• 54:20
  carrying out a five-hour journey up to
• 54:23
  to Scotland to to play a a fixture.
• 54:26
  You're going to have players going,
• 54:28
  "Yeah, I've actually got something on
• 54:30
  that day. I can't quite make it." Um
• 54:33
  and then you you start losing numbers,
• 54:34
  start losing players, and you know,
• 54:37
  the score then reflects in this in this
• 54:40
  game.
• 54:41
  Um we've already We've said this many
• 54:42
  times. We need more Scottish teams. We
• 54:45
  need more people to to to volunteer and
• 54:48
  to set up those teams so we can have a
• 54:51
  really good Scottish league.
• 54:54
  I had a message off one of the Clive
• 54:56
  Clive Valley players, and he was
• 54:57
  brilliant. Like, we literally respond to
• 54:59
  every message as long as you're not
• 55:00
  rude.
• 55:01
  Um
• 55:02
  and he was like, you know, I'm gutted
• 55:03
  there's no Edinburgh team. There should
• 55:04
  be an Edinburgh team. So, like, it's
• 55:06
  like they're all up for it. Do you do
• 55:08
  you know what I mean? And
• 55:09
  they're all happy to travel. Like, you
• 55:10
  look at East Kilbride, you know, they
• 55:13
  they their under-19s team I think there
• 55:15
  was more of them than there was, you
• 55:16
  know, the Bucks. They were actually all
• 55:18
  up for it. So,
• 55:20
  it is a mad one. Lee, have you got any
• 55:22
  comments on this?
• 55:24
  Um I think I should just, you know, keep
• 55:26
  supporting the Scottish teams. I
• 55:27
  don't know why I didn't do it this time.
• 55:29
  Normally I Normally I'm all for, you
• 55:31
  know, supporting them all, and this time
• 55:32
  I just I just didn't.
• 55:34
  But I mean, I I after Sheffield score
• 55:36
  the other week there, I think that's
• 55:37
  maybe what's prompted me to kind of make
• 55:39
  this decision.
• 55:40
  But, yeah.
• 55:42
  Based on that score the other week
• 55:43
  there, I'm surprised that it went that
• 55:45
  way instead of it being a Sheffield win.
• 55:48
  But, I mean, yeah, the travel element
• 55:51
  It's like Sheffield to Glasgow is not as
• 55:53
  bad as like Sheffield to Aberdeen. Yeah.
• 55:56
  >> That if they
• 55:57
  Will they end up playing the Aberdeen
• 55:59
  team, Sheffield?
• 55:59
  >> No. No, I think they just they play one
• 56:01
  team home and away. I think that's
• 56:03
  that's what it is.
• 56:04
  >> the the Vikings are the the Vikings are
• 56:05
  the only team playing Aberdeen, so.
• 56:08
  Ooh. Well, I mean, even still, that's
• 56:10
  it's not as far as Sheffield. But, yeah,
• 56:12
  travel travel and gridiron is it's
• 56:15
  you're always going to have problems
• 56:16
  with it, especially when you've kind of
• 56:17
  got that big gap between the kind of
• 56:20
  Scottish teams. I mean, we used to have
• 56:22
  one in Edinburgh. We used to have one in
• 56:23
  Dunfermline. We used to have multiple,
• 56:25
  but I think you had two in Dundee at one
• 56:27
  point.
• 56:28
  Maybe. I'm not entirely sure. I only
• 56:30
  recently learned about the Dunfermline
• 56:32
  team. Um I'm from Fife, so I was I
• 56:35
  didn't know that. You're lying.
• 56:37
  Huh? I didn't know you're from Fife.
• 56:39
  Yeah, yeah, I'm from Fife. I always say
• 56:40
  Edinburgh though because that's just
• 56:41
  easier. How old are you, Liv?
• 56:43
  Um 24.
• 56:44
  Oh, no. My mate, Jade Richards,
• 56:47
  she she's from she's from Fife. She was
• 56:48
  on a
• 56:50
  Just a just going off topic there cuz
• 56:51
  she was on a
• 56:52
  the the um
• 56:54
  singer great singer. We'll we'll chat
• 56:56
  about after this later. I've got loads
• 56:57
  of friends to talk about.
• 56:58
  Um right, let's go to the next results.
• 57:00
  Um
• 57:02
  Northumberland 29, Leicester Panthers
• 57:04
  34. This was a absolute brilliant game.
• 57:08
  And am I surprised? No.
• 57:10
  Not at all. Um
• 57:13
  I was getting score updates. Um I think
• 57:15
  Knights went 13-0 ahead, then it was
• 57:17
  20-13, then it was 20-20. This was
• 57:20
  brilliant from all the way to the start
• 57:21
  to the end. Now, Panthers lost their
• 57:23
  first game,
• 57:25
  and it was um it it it was a tough loss.
• 57:28
  I've actually got a clip I'm going to
• 57:29
  show you from last week cuz they their
• 57:31
  QB, he just doesn't give up. Watch this
• 57:33
  pass from last week's uh it's not the
• 57:35
  best coverage but uh footage but let's
• 57:37
  just have a little quick meet through
• 57:38
  this one.
• 57:43
  So,
• 57:44
  just going to obviously talk you through
• 57:45
  it. Like
• 57:47
  Look Look at this.
• 57:50
  What a catch.
• 57:52
  I mean that's that's just a hope and a
• 57:53
  prayer, isn't it? He's He's He's He's
• 57:55
  thinking, "I think I've got a player
• 57:57
  over there. I'm going to throw it to him
• 57:59
  and see if he's there." It It is, mate,
• 58:01
  but let me go back to the one. It is,
• 58:04
  but
• 58:05
  they lost the first game and I know
• 58:07
  there was some referee calls they've not
• 58:08
  been particularly happy. I mean we're
• 58:10
  we're always never going to be happy. I
• 58:11
  mean I was very happy with our refs on
• 58:12
  Sunday. They were brilliant. Thank you
• 58:13
  very much. We hope you got it used for
• 58:15
  the next game. But
• 58:17
  in terms of, you know,
• 58:20
  the embodiment of of of of, you know,
• 58:22
  losing your first game, it's never
• 58:23
  usually great. They've turned it around.
• 58:25
  I cannot wait for them and the Black
• 58:28
  Country Steelers to play each other. I
• 58:29
  think
• 58:30
  is going to be a beautiful game and I
• 58:33
  hope that one is live streamed. If you
• 58:34
  need any help with that one, folks, do
• 58:35
  let us know.
• 58:37
  Um Lee, I'm going to come to you on this
• 58:38
  one and I'll let you carry this on. I'm
• 58:40
  just going to grab another bottle of
• 58:41
  water. Yeah, so I'm I'm You said you
• 58:43
  weren't shocked. I'm I'm a little bit
• 58:45
  shocked that it is so close. You messing
• 58:47
  >> [laughter]
• 58:48
  >> And And now I'm really I I thought I
• 58:50
  thought the Panthers were going to we're
• 58:52
  going to put this one away. So done.
• 58:54
  Yeah. And but the fact that the the the
• 58:56
  nights
• 58:58
  uh fought back and and put 29 points on
• 59:00
  the board is is is real credit to them.
• 59:04
  Uh
• 59:04
  obviously the the Panthers
• 59:07
  uh you know, and the and the Black
• 59:08
  Country Steelers I'm really I again I I
• 59:11
  really look forward to seeing that game.
• 59:13
  Um
• 59:14
  you know, and if they if we if we can't
• 59:16
  get it live streamed then
• 59:18
  um you know, I think we need to as as a
• 59:21
  as a platform step in and try and get
• 59:22
  somebody up there to stream it for them.
• 59:24
  We've got We've got a few comments on
• 59:26
  Instagram, sorry.
• 59:27

• 59:47

  You drop us a DM. We want We We want We

• 59:59
  team.
• 1:00:00
  You know, if there's any teams that are
• 1:00:01
  starting associations, I know there's
• 1:00:02
  one in Derby. Um but there's any teams
• 1:00:04
  in Scotland start doing associations,
• 1:00:05
  let us know. We want to help you out.

• 1:00:09
  that. Whatever. Just Just let us know.
• 1:00:10
  We want to help you out. Um
• 1:00:13
  Sorry, there's one more comment, 2
• 1:00:14
  seconds. And we played the Panthers in
• 1:00:15
  preseason. They're a solid team. That
• 1:00:17
  does not surprise me. They kicked our
• 1:00:19
  butts a few times last season. Um as you
• 1:00:21
  were, mate. Sorry.
• 1:00:23
  Yeah, so I mean again, we're just, you
• 1:00:25
  know, torn about the the dominance of
• 1:00:27
  the Panthers. Um
• 1:00:28
  you know, they are I think between them
• 1:00:31
  and the Steelers, I think that they're
• 1:00:32
  the
• 1:00:33
  sort of the Midlands uh front-runners in
• 1:00:36
  this in this division.
• 1:00:38
  Quan, do you got anything on this one?
• 1:00:40
  Yeah, just that I've heard really good
• 1:00:41
  things about the Panthers as a program.
• 1:00:43
  And I I as as you said, I kind of
• 1:00:45
  expected them to kind of be a bit more
• 1:00:48
  in a firm driver's seat for this game.
• 1:00:51
  But um so I'm surprised to see 29 points
• 1:00:53
  conceded. But you know,
• 1:00:55
  uh it happens sometimes. Those tough
• 1:00:56
  games just hit you. So it could be that
• 1:00:58
  or you know, it could be just big
• 1:00:59
  respect to the Knights.
• 1:01:01
  I wasn't there. It is It is
• 1:01:04
  the cursed division. Now, Yeah. Um I I
• 1:01:06
  do know I've had a message from someone
• 1:01:09
  who was at the game, not playing not
• 1:01:10
  from either team, saying that um he
• 1:01:12
  believes that the the Panthers got one
• 1:01:14
  of the running backs back and he got 250
• 1:01:16
  plus yards on the ground. That's That's
• 1:01:18
  insane. Wow.
• 1:01:21
  Knights nearly won with 2 minutes to go,
• 1:01:22
  but it was called back for a holding
• 1:01:24
  call. Oh my god, if you did that, I'd
• 1:01:26
  never forgive you.
• 1:01:27
  Um,
• 1:01:29
  Liv, what are your thoughts on this one,
• 1:01:30
  mate? Who are you What What What What
• 1:01:32
  What one of your mates was at this game
• 1:01:33
  or plays for this team or
• 1:01:34
  >> Um, so one of my coaches One of my
• 1:01:37
  Royals coaches coaches for Northants.
• 1:01:39
  Uh, one of my friends plays for
• 1:01:40
  Northants, and one of my other friends
• 1:01:42
  plays for Leicester Panthers. All from
• 1:01:44
  Royals. All from Peterborough. So, they
• 1:01:47
  were all playing against each other. I
• 1:01:48
  knew about the holding call cuz the
• 1:01:51
  message came through in the chat. I was
• 1:01:53
  about to kind of say that, but you you
• 1:01:54
  stole my thunder a bit.
• 1:01:56
  >> [laughter]
• 1:01:57
  >> I'm not even sorry.
• 1:01:59
  Yes, Liv, mate. It was Yeah, it was it
• 1:02:02
  was Yeah, there was a touch a touchdown
• 1:02:03
  called with literally, as you said, like
• 1:02:05
  in the last 2 minutes, and there was a
• 1:02:06
  hold called on it, and our coach went at
• 1:02:08
  us. He was like, "I got flashbacks from
• 1:02:10
  our tournament." Like cuz we had the
• 1:02:11
  same issue at our Royals tournament
• 1:02:14
  literally the week before, and he was
• 1:02:15
  getting flashbacks from that. Um, it
• 1:02:19
  definitely does seem like the Knights
• 1:02:20
  have kind of switched it on, and like
• 1:02:23
  they're starting to fight a lot more
• 1:02:25
  from like how they previously were. Like
• 1:02:26
  I know
• 1:02:27
  when we played them in preseason, they
• 1:02:30
  didn't do too well. I think we ended up
• 1:02:31
  putting quite a lot of points up on
• 1:02:33
  them. Um,
• 1:02:35
  but it's they've seems like they're
• 1:02:37
  slowly fighting back, and you know, they
• 1:02:38
  are slowly becoming quite a force to be
• 1:02:40
  reckoned with.
• 1:02:42
  It is potentially, you know, they are
• 1:02:43
  maybe going to be the underdogs this
• 1:02:44
  season. I mean, if they are putting up
• 1:02:46
  29 points against, you know, Leicester
• 1:02:49
  Panthers, I mean, and almost winning the
• 1:02:50
  match,
• 1:02:52
  that definitely does say something about
• 1:02:53
  their kind of program and how they've
• 1:02:55
  maybe kind of been training over the
• 1:02:57
  last couple weeks. So, yeah, it's
• 1:02:59
  definitely kind of good to see.
• 1:03:01
  So, yeah. It's a It's an interesting
• 1:03:03
  league cuz you've also got Staffordshire
• 1:03:04
  Surge, Black Country Steelers,
• 1:03:07
  and Shropshire Revolution. It is a very,
• 1:03:09
  very difficult league. Okay, um, we've
• 1:03:12
  all spoke.
• 1:03:13
  Yeah. Let's move to the next one.
• 1:03:15
  Staffordshire Surge
• 1:03:18
  Black Country Steelers, 42. Um I had a
• 1:03:21
  mate who messaged me about this. He said
• 1:03:22
  and he said three things are certain in
• 1:03:24
  life, Matthew. I said, "What are they,
• 1:03:25
  mate?" He says,
• 1:03:27
  "Pay your taxes, death, and Steelers
• 1:03:29
  beat the Surge."
• 1:03:32
  I also seen another brilliant tweet by
• 1:03:34
  another person cuz the this teams played
• 1:03:36
  each other every season for like the
• 1:03:38
  last three or four seasons. And I think
• 1:03:41
  they had one league where they had to
• 1:03:41
  play them three times. And he someone
• 1:03:44
  put his prediction with the Surge were
• 1:03:45
  going to get relegated and then Baffins
• 1:03:47
  were going to merge div two and div one
• 1:03:49
  and the first game next season would be
• 1:03:50
  Surge versus Steelers. [laughter]
• 1:03:55
  Um Lee, what are your thoughts on this
• 1:03:57
  one, brother?
• 1:03:57
  >> I mean the Steelers obviously we said
• 1:03:59
  this before. Steelers are taking care of
• 1:04:00
  business in this division. Um
• 1:04:03
  42 points, that's that's a reputable
• 1:04:06
  score line there. Uh the Surge
• 1:04:08
  obviously, you know,
• 1:04:10
  they've got a fantastic pitch.
• 1:04:12
  Um
• 1:04:13
  uh seven points on the board, you know,
• 1:04:14
  you you should be proud of that. You
• 1:04:16
  know, you're going up against a really
• 1:04:17
  good defense
• 1:04:19
  uh in in in the Steelers there. So,
• 1:04:22
  yeah, don't don't don't be disappointed.
• 1:04:24
  Keep moving forward.
• 1:04:26
  Uh but well done to the Steelers.
• 1:04:28
  Kwam, you got anything on this one?
• 1:04:30
  Yeah, as I said, I don't know too much
• 1:04:32
  about them, but the Black Country
• 1:04:33
  Steelers has been a team on our radar
• 1:04:36
  um as well as mine personally and I you
• 1:04:39
  know, ever since that you guys I think
• 1:04:41
  had one of their players on here, um
• 1:04:43
  I've been keeping a bit of a close eye
• 1:04:44
  on them cuz I feel like we could
• 1:04:45
  potentially see them down the line at
• 1:04:46
  some point. Um yeah, I mean they took
• 1:04:49
  care of business and it's a score line
• 1:04:50
  that I would expect. So, for for for
• 1:04:52
  that part, I mean I'm surprised to see
• 1:04:53
  them letting up points, but uh the next
• 1:04:56
  fixture, I can say the same. So.
• 1:04:58
  >> [laughter]
• 1:04:59
  >> It's You know what? For me, um I know
• 1:05:01
  the QB walked into the end zone with
• 1:05:03
  with with a touchdown. Um
• 1:05:05
  I think um
• 1:05:08
  they they had a 60 or 70 yd pass and
• 1:05:10
  touchdown or something like this. Sorry,
• 1:05:11
  I'm just reading this off notes. I
• 1:05:13
  haven't got my glasses on. Um but, for
• 1:05:15
  me
• 1:05:17
  the Steelers are a very, very well-run
• 1:05:19
  outfit and they're all on the same song
• 1:05:22
  sheet.
• 1:05:23
  Kind of like the next team we're going
• 1:05:25
  to talk about, but before we talk about
• 1:05:26
  them, we're going to post a clip from
• 1:05:27
  the Essex Spartans and East Kent
• 1:05:29
  Mavericks and you might see someone
• 1:05:31
  you've seen before. One moment.
• 1:05:47
  Wow. Let me get back to us 2 seconds. Um
• 1:05:49
  I posted the right clip there, didn't I?
• 1:05:51
  Yes. Oh my god, you won't believe the
• 1:05:53
  fear that runs through me. Um
• 1:05:56
  Mate, this is the second week in a row
• 1:05:58
  you've sent me a really, really good
• 1:05:59
  clip. Uh FYI, people send me I've sent
• 1:06:02
  me clips every week for the last 6, 7
• 1:06:03
  weeks and you know, some of them haven't
• 1:06:06
  been great.
• 1:06:07
  Um
• 1:06:08
  Explain this clip for me. Um this was a
• 1:06:10
  really, really, really, really good good
• 1:06:12
  play. So, I have to give a bit of of a
• 1:06:14
  backstory. So, obviously we're number
• 1:06:16
  one in that division and and Essex
• 1:06:18
  Spartans is
• 1:06:19
  I think last place right now. And so, I
• 1:06:22
  you know, there was a a lot of different
• 1:06:24
  feelings going into that game and I I
• 1:06:25
  want to say firstly that Spartans put up
• 1:06:27
  a great, great battle.
• 1:06:29
  Um you know, big respect to their team.
• 1:06:31
  They were not afraid of the fact that we
• 1:06:33
  were, you know, the number one team or
• 1:06:35
  whatever and they and they gave up gave
• 1:06:36
  us a quite a bit of fight. So, I think
• 1:06:38
  at that point in time in the game, the
• 1:06:39
  score was
• 1:06:41
  17 to 6. Um and it was already the third
• 1:06:45
  or fourth quarter and we were driving
• 1:06:48
  down our our starting quarterback was
• 1:06:50
  back in the game after injuring his
• 1:06:51
  hand. And um
• 1:06:54
  yeah, it was a
• 1:06:55
  red zone fade and yeah, just you know,
• 1:06:59
  80/20 ball as our coach likes to call
• 1:07:00
  it. I just went up and made the play
• 1:07:02
  um and that is why I'm still recovering
• 1:07:04
  today is that spin on the ground there
• 1:07:05
  that I had to do afterwards after the
• 1:07:07
  catch. Shout.
• 1:07:08
  >> [laughter]
• 1:07:08
  >> Shout out to the I emojis.
• 1:07:11
  I think it's like
• 1:07:13
  I'm sure we've got a a a salute. We've
• 1:07:16
  got the I emojis. Um yeah, you've got a
• 1:07:19
  lot of love here, mate. I don't get none
• 1:07:20
  of this love. Kwam the goat, look. Are
• 1:07:22
  you paying these? No.
• 1:07:24
  So, I would have posted the link to the
• 1:07:27
  stream to get a lot of support from our
• 1:07:28
  team. So, shout out to the East Kent
• 1:07:30
  Mavericks and our coaching staff down
• 1:07:32
  there. They're all tuned in right now
• 1:07:33
  watching.
• 1:07:34
  Um This is another good win.
• 1:07:37
  Um but is Am I right in saying this is
• 1:07:38
  the first points you've conceded? Yeah,
• 1:07:40
  so that was the first points conceded
• 1:07:42
  that it was on a deep ball to one of
• 1:07:43
  their receivers. I believe it was number
• 1:07:45
  25 on the on the Tridents who's a who's
• 1:07:48
  a pretty bit of a speedster on their
• 1:07:49
  team.
• 1:07:50
  And yeah, they they took it home. That
• 1:07:52
  was the first points conceded and I
• 1:07:53
  believe after that
• 1:07:56
  they did not get a first down. So, I
• 1:07:59
  mean, our defense has been pretty tight
• 1:08:01
  this entire year.
• 1:08:03
  I mean, four games in your first points
• 1:08:05
  and then we blocked the extra point
• 1:08:06
  afterwards. Cool. I'm not mad at it. Our
• 1:08:08
  offense was pretty undisciplined this
• 1:08:10
  game and we gave up probably over 100 of
• 1:08:12
  your 100 of yards of penalty yards.
• 1:08:15
  So, you know, you never really perform
• 1:08:17
  that well when you're not clicking on
• 1:08:19
  that cylinder.
• 1:08:20
  You know, a lot of different issues with
• 1:08:21
  regards to people coming in, people
• 1:08:23
  going out, but I'd rather this type of
• 1:08:24
  game happen now and I'm I'm sure that
• 1:08:26
  most of our teammates and coaches can
• 1:08:27
  agree
• 1:08:28
  that it would happen now prior to
• 1:08:30
  happening in the playoffs. So.
• 1:08:33
  All right. Okay. Lee, any thoughts on
• 1:08:35
  this one?
• 1:08:36
  Yeah, so I'm just talking about the
• 1:08:38
  other team, so the Tridents. I actually
• 1:08:40
  know the the head coach of the Tridents
• 1:08:42
  quite well.
• 1:08:43
  Um and he's he's kind of openly
• 1:08:46
  addressed the situation that you know,
• 1:08:48
  they've had a lot of players leave.
• 1:08:50
  Um you know, they're still
• 1:08:53
  um
• 1:08:54
  sort of
• 1:08:56
  patching things together from the the
• 1:08:59
  merger that happened
• 1:09:01
  uh years back between the Sabres and the
• 1:09:03
  Spartans.
• 1:09:05
  Oh my god.
• 1:09:06
  Yeah. Um so,
• 1:09:09
  he's openly admitted that they're on a
• 1:09:11
  rebuild year this year. So, I mean the
• 1:09:13
  the likelihood is they're going to
• 1:09:15
  they're going to fall from Div 1 to Div
• 1:09:17
  2. Um but as as we've heard before, you
• 1:09:20
  know, this is their opportunity to to
• 1:09:22
  hit that reset button.
• 1:09:23
  Get things back up and running um and
• 1:09:26
  then fight to get back into Div 1 again
• 1:09:28
  next year, hopefully. But um
• 1:09:31
  Yeah, I think I think they're
• 1:09:33
  they're not defeated yet. They're No
• 1:09:35
  team should ever be defeated, but I
• 1:09:36
  think,
• 1:09:37
  you know, looking forward, I think
• 1:09:39
  they're they're
• 1:09:40
  they want to see next year and see how
• 1:09:42
  they're going to compete next year
• 1:09:43
  rather than looking at this year. Well,
• 1:09:46
  Jack Jack Mallam was the wide receiver
• 1:09:48
  who scored and I think his nickname is
• 1:09:50
  The Flash. That's how quick he is. Yeah,
• 1:09:52
  he's he's got some wheels on him. Yeah.
• 1:09:55
  Um I might start calling myself The
• 1:09:57
  Flash. See if
• 1:09:58
  my fellow wide receivers will agree on
• 1:10:00
  that. Um no, no, don't think anyone
• 1:10:02
  would either. Um Liv, any thoughts on
• 1:10:04
  this one?
• 1:10:05
  Um nothing that's probably already been
• 1:10:07
  said. You know, Kent has some really
• 1:10:10
  good talent in both
• 1:10:12
  um, you know, the Mavs and the Exiles.
• 1:10:14
  So, I'm not kind of surprised that the
• 1:10:16
  result went the way it did. You know,
• 1:10:18
  Essex have unfortunately got to deal
• 1:10:20
  with the like
• 1:10:22
  the area that they're in. There's
• 1:10:24
  obviously quite a lot of teams in that
• 1:10:25
  area with obviously London being not too
• 1:10:28
  far as well. Cambridge not being too
• 1:10:30
  far. So, it is a hard area to kind of
• 1:10:34
  operate as a team in. Um hopefully, you
• 1:10:36
  know, if they do get dropped, that will
• 1:10:38
  kind of reset, make some, you know, kind
• 1:10:40
  of jump back up. It'll be kind of good
• 1:10:42
  to see if that happens, but yeah, it's
• 1:10:44
  not a surprising result at all.
• 1:10:47
  Okay. Let's move on. Um no one backed
• 1:10:51
  the Tridents. We all backed the
• 1:10:52
  Mavericks. Um next result.
• 1:10:55
  And this one shocked me a bit cuz I
• 1:10:57
  didn't think it would be this much of a
• 1:10:58
  point difference. Um Portsmouth
• 1:11:00
  Dreadnoughts eight, Hertfordshire
• 1:11:02
  Cheetahs 40. Have we been sleeping on
• 1:11:04
  the Cheetahs because they lost that
• 1:11:06
  very, very, very first scores game?
• 1:11:09
  Um
• 1:11:10
  Kwan, I'm coming to you, brother. What
• 1:11:11
  do you think on this one? Yeah, it's so
• 1:11:14
  I'm just happy to see them scoring
• 1:11:15
  again. We have quite a few uh
• 1:11:18
  ex-Cheetahs guys on our on our on our
• 1:11:20
  squad now. We have the the Downs twins,
• 1:11:22
  um Jordan Legg, Jayden Abraham. Um so
• 1:11:26
  they they're big Cheetahs guys through
• 1:11:28
  and through. Um but yeah, I I I
• 1:11:30
  I'm happy to see them scoring again and
• 1:11:32
  I didn't think Portsmouth would get beat
• 1:11:34
  by this much. Um I thought it would be a
• 1:11:37
  lot closer. I thought
• 1:11:38
  >> Yeah, I I thought it would be a little
• 1:11:39
  bit more closer like a 40-21 or
• 1:11:41
  something like that. But but yeah, it's
• 1:11:43
  a interesting scoreline. I'm looking
• 1:11:45
  forward to now seeing the return fixture
• 1:11:48
  uh against um Blitz B, I think it was,
• 1:11:50
  where it was six six-nil. Now that their
• 1:11:52
  offense has got, you know, that
• 1:11:55
  rhythm going again. So, it'll be
• 1:11:57
  interesting to see.
• 1:11:58
  Okay. Um any of you two next? Any Any
• 1:12:01
  Any of you got
• 1:12:02
  >> Yeah, I'm I'm I'm just going to jump in
• 1:12:03
  there. I I think you're absolutely
• 1:12:05
  absolutely right, Kwan. I think it's
• 1:12:06
  it's one of those things sometimes, you
• 1:12:07
  know, when you have a you know, a new
• 1:12:09
  offensive coordinator or somebody new at
• 1:12:12
  play calling, it takes a while for the
• 1:12:14
  team to gel and and to to understand the
• 1:12:17
  the playbook and
• 1:12:19
  I think we're now seeing that turning
• 1:12:21
  point for the Cheetahs where they're
• 1:12:23
  they're starting to understand it.
• 1:12:24
  They're starting to click. You know,
• 1:12:25
  they've still got fantastic players on
• 1:12:28
  that team.
• 1:12:29
  Um and you know, they are they are going
• 1:12:31
  to be
• 1:12:33
  a a force to be reckoned with. Um
• 1:12:35
  obviously the the Dreadnoughts on on the
• 1:12:36
  opposite side, um again, you know, I
• 1:12:39
  think we've been speaking about them
• 1:12:40
  before about, you know, you've got
• 1:12:42
  you've got the Solent Thrashers,
• 1:12:44
  you know, it's a stone's throw down the
• 1:12:45
  road.
• 1:12:47
  Um
• 1:12:48
  You know, and you got Farnham uh I think
• 1:12:50
  Farnham uh
• 1:12:51
  the Rushmoor Knights are bit further up
• 1:12:52
  the the A1M.
• 1:12:54
  Um Sorry, the A1M the A3.
• 1:12:57
  So, I think
• 1:12:58
  We've had a brilliant question. I'm
• 1:13:01
  going to display it.
• 1:13:02
  Go for it.
• 1:13:06
  So, I'll just jump in and answer it
• 1:13:07
  really quickly.
• 1:13:09
  The the one that we're keeping an eye on
• 1:13:10
  the most is most definitely the
• 1:13:12
  Threshers.
• 1:13:13
  We probably see ourselves having to play
• 1:13:16
  them
• 1:13:17
  for that game
• 1:13:19
  to get to the Britbowl. And obviously
• 1:13:22
  you guys at at Solent have
• 1:13:25
  an OC and I believe it's Dave Gibbs.
• 1:13:29
  Is that correct? Yes, I'm I'm Or is he
• 1:13:31
  the head coach? I think he's I think
• 1:13:34
  he's he might be the head
• 1:13:36
  No, I think he might be the OC. I'm not
• 1:13:37
  sure I'm not too sure. The reason I know
• 1:13:39
  that was message up here
• 1:13:41
  literally that he's
• 1:13:42
  >> [laughter]
• 1:13:43
  >> Yeah, so so definitely keeping an eye on
• 1:13:45
  them. Not looking past any of the other
• 1:13:48
  teams either, you know, Olympians is a
• 1:13:49
  is is is a team that we have
• 1:13:52
  historically had some crazy battles with
• 1:13:54
  most recently last year in the finals
• 1:13:57
  only beating them you know, in overtime
• 1:14:00
  in a nail-biter. And this year, yeah, we
• 1:14:02
  started off with with a with a with a
• 1:14:04
  you know, a big victory against them.
• 1:14:06
  But we are looking at that return
• 1:14:07
  fixture not as a walkover when at all
• 1:14:10
  because we know that every single time
• 1:14:11
  you face a rivalry team you never know
• 1:14:14
  what's going to happen. So so for sure
• 1:14:15
  we're paying a lot of attention to the
• 1:14:16
  Olympians.
• 1:14:18
  You said SSW I don't know if that's
• 1:14:20
  meant to be Southwest Wales. That's
• 1:14:22
  correct. Yeah, yeah, so I don't know
• 1:14:25
  them too well,
• 1:14:26
  but I know they are in the north.
• 1:14:30
  Or is it north? No. They're in the It's
• 1:14:33
  Wales, right? Yeah. It's Wales, yeah.
• 1:14:35
  Southwest Warriors. It's the Southwest
• 1:14:37
  Warriors. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, not too
• 1:14:39
  familiar with that team. Okay. Anyone
• 1:14:41
  else got any comments?
• 1:14:44
  Nope, let's move on. Otherwise we're
• 1:14:45
  going to be here till tomorrow.
• 1:14:47
  Right,
• 1:14:48
  and to be fair, we would we we love
• 1:14:50
  this.
• 1:14:51
  This This one This one is very good. So
• 1:14:54
  six one to zero. London Blitz B 61. And
• 1:14:56
  I'm going to tell you why it's all good
• 1:14:58
  because we do we do a guess the score.
• 1:15:01
  And none of you got it right, so that
• 1:15:02
  money is safe in my pocket for another
• 1:15:04
  week. But we've upped it by a five for
• 1:15:06
  next week. 61 zero. I've got nothing
• 1:15:08
  else to say than I am not surprised. It
• 1:15:10
  looks not very good for So six. Anyone
• 1:15:13
  else got anything to say in this? I
• 1:15:14
  mean, well done to London Blitz B,
• 1:15:17
  but I think we were all expecting this.
• 1:15:19
  Yeah. I think this is a a no-brainer,
• 1:15:22
  you know, I think with with the scores I
• 1:15:24
  mean, I think I guessed 50 52-0 to the
• 1:15:27
  to the Blitz and I thought I was
• 1:15:28
  ambitious, but the fact that they put 61
• 1:15:30
  points on the board.
• 1:15:32
  Mental.
• 1:15:35
  Mental. I hope they all had some donuts
• 1:15:37
  after it as well.
• 1:15:38
  >> [snorts]
• 1:15:39
  >> I did last night.
• 1:15:40
  Right, let's move on to the next one.
• 1:15:41
  Bournemouth Bobcats seven, Bristol
• 1:15:43
  Apache 28. This is a very difficult
• 1:15:45
  division.
• 1:15:47
  Um seven points 28 um
• 1:15:51
  Kwan, I'm going to come to you on this
• 1:15:52
  one.
• 1:15:53
  Yeah, um surprising that Bristol hasn't
• 1:15:57
  had as much success as I thought they
• 1:15:59
  would have. Uh I think that for the past
• 1:16:01
  two seasons
• 1:16:02
  um their performance in their specific
• 1:16:05
  divisions has a bit been a bit
• 1:16:06
  lackluster
• 1:16:08
  um from from what I would assume based
• 1:16:10
  on their programs that they would have
• 1:16:11
  aspirations, you know, higher even
• 1:16:13
  though this this is essentially their
• 1:16:15
  their B team, right? You know, for the
• 1:16:17
  the Bristol, yeah. So, you know, I just
• 1:16:19
  I'm always surprised to not see them
• 1:16:20
  doing as well. Um I don't know if that's
• 1:16:23
  attuned to like a situation where
• 1:16:25
  they're not necessarily communicating
• 1:16:26
  well between the two programs or or
• 1:16:29
  what, you know, they could do to patch
• 1:16:30
  that that gap, but I mean, it's a solid
• 1:16:32
  win against
• 1:16:33
  uh the Bobcats, but I don't think that
• 1:16:37
  it's as big of a victory as they would
• 1:16:39
  have liked to see if if I'm honest.
• 1:16:41
  Yeah. Okay. Lee?
• 1:16:43
  Yeah, I was just going to sort of mirror
• 1:16:45
  what what Quan was saying there. I think
• 1:16:47
  it's it's
• 1:16:48
  I think, you know, this is the obviously
• 1:16:51
  this is the the feeder team into the
• 1:16:53
  into the Aztecs.
• 1:16:54
  Um
• 1:16:56
  so, you know,
• 1:16:57
  the they are the fact they're in
• 1:16:58
  division one, you know, is is shows how
• 1:17:01
  much talent is down that side of the
• 1:17:03
  country.
• 1:17:04
  Um Could they get promoted? Like let's
• 1:17:06
  say they were better, could they get
• 1:17:07
  promoted, Lee?
• 1:17:09
  I mean, I there's there's no reason why
• 1:17:11
  they can't, but I think, you know, the
• 1:17:13
  problem you're always going to have with
• 1:17:14
  these A and B teams is, you know, your
• 1:17:17
  cream of the crop's going to go to your
• 1:17:18
  A team. You're not going to
• 1:17:20
  you know, sort of allow players to to
• 1:17:23
  sort of stick around in your B team when
• 1:17:25
  you've got an A team that are
• 1:17:27
  Yeah. sort of a a dominant team like
• 1:17:29
  like the the Aztecs are.
• 1:17:32
  Um
• 1:17:34
  I love Russ Russ's comments there.
• 1:17:36
  Transfer window closes on the 2nd of
• 1:17:37
  June. If you want to uh
• 1:17:39
  transfer yourself across to another team
• 1:17:42
  that's
• 1:17:44
  Nearly
• 1:17:44
  >> [laughter]
• 1:17:44
  >> nearly nearly we do we yeah yeah yeah.
• 1:17:46
  Yeah. Cheeky. That comment that comment
• 1:17:49
  though is is is correct and that's what
• 1:17:50
  I've heard as well about the Blitz B
• 1:17:52
  team is that they can't get promoted to
• 1:17:54
  uh wherever their A team is.
• 1:17:56
  I think that I think they can. I think
• 1:17:58
  they can but it's the comment
• 1:18:01
  The comment just says it says a win is a
• 1:18:02
  win and we can't get promoted.
• 1:18:05
  Oh, they must play for them.
• 1:18:07
  Yeah. Wow, that's interesting. I always
• 1:18:10
  thought they could because
• 1:18:12
  >> told I was told Blitz B can't get
• 1:18:13
  promoted. Like even if they were to win
• 1:18:15
  the div one, they can't get promoted to
• 1:18:17
  to prem. Wow, that is crazy. I wish
• 1:18:21
  someone had asked that the buffer
• 1:18:22
  interview. That is mental. Liv, you got
• 1:18:25
  anything on this one?
• 1:18:27
  Um
• 1:18:28
  I'm of the same opinion as Quan, you
• 1:18:30
  know, like you would expect a B team
• 1:18:34
  like especially one that's fallen under
• 1:18:36
  the Aztecs to do a lot better than they
• 1:18:38
  have been doing. I mean, Blitz
• 1:18:41
  flipping up to Blitz B, you know,
• 1:18:42
  they're a B program and they're doing
• 1:18:44
  exceptionally well. Like, I don't think
• 1:18:46
  they've had a loss at all this season.
• 1:18:48
  But then flip it to Apache who's a B
• 1:18:50
  team off, you know, the national champs,
• 1:18:53
  they haven't been doing like yes, they
• 1:18:56
  have a win,
• 1:18:57
  but they haven't been doing as well as
• 1:18:59
  what they previously have done. Is it
• 1:19:01
  the fact that maybe, you know, Aztecs,
• 1:19:03
  that the program as a whole like both
• 1:19:05
  Apache and Aztecs, are they maybe just
• 1:19:07
  putting more time and effort into the A
• 1:19:08
  team and they're kind of neglecting the
• 1:19:11
  B team a bit or is it just I I
• 1:19:14
  [clears throat] also think
• 1:19:15
  just on on what you're saying, I also
• 1:19:17
  think we're all under underestimating
• 1:19:19
  Bournemouth. Yes, they've lost games,
• 1:19:21
  but we had them on the show. They seemed
• 1:19:23
  like they were ready, prepped and ready.
• 1:19:24
  >> Yeah. Maybe this is just the
• 1:19:27
  the the the south version of of
• 1:19:30
  NFC 1 Midlands. Maybe it's a bit of a
• 1:19:31
  curse league cuz all the teams in there
• 1:19:33
  do seem pretty decent. Um or might you
• 1:19:35
  might agree, you might disagree. Um it
• 1:19:38
  is an interesting one, Liv. I'll let
• 1:19:39
  Carry on there, mate. Sorry, I do
• 1:19:40
  apologize.
• 1:19:41
  Um yeah, I don't know. It's I would
• 1:19:44
  expect more from Apache. Like yes, it's
• 1:19:46
  a win,
• 1:19:48
  but in previous results, you know, I do
• 1:19:52
  and it might be wrong for me thinking
• 1:19:53
  obviously when you've got the kind of
• 1:19:55
  opposite on the other division on the
• 1:19:57
  other side of the country, it's yeah.
• 1:20:00
  But I mean,
• 1:20:02
  all of them have kind of good uni
• 1:20:03
  connections especially like around
• 1:20:04
  Bournemouth
• 1:20:05
  like at Bournemouth as well, they have a
• 1:20:07
  good uni team, you know, their uni team
• 1:20:09
  went and won the box final.
• 1:20:11
  So, it's kind of surprising that, you
• 1:20:13
  know, maybe it hasn't filtered in the
• 1:20:14
  same way as what other programs have.
• 1:20:17
  But yeah, I do hope for like Bobcats,
• 1:20:19
  you know, they do maybe get a win under
• 1:20:20
  the belt or they do, you know,
• 1:20:24
  improve a lot this season. So. Yeah.
• 1:20:27
  Well, let's get on to the last game of
• 1:20:28
  Div 1. We are massively over run. We do
• 1:20:31
  apologize to all of you about trying to
• 1:20:32
  as quick as we can. Um
• 1:20:33
  South Wales Warriors 20, Solent
• 1:20:36
  Thrashers 41. Before anyone speaks,
• 1:20:40
  total yards 458,
• 1:20:43
  passing 161, rushing 297.
• 1:20:47
  Passing touchdowns three,
• 1:20:49
  rushing touchdowns three.
• 1:20:51
  Wow.
• 1:20:53
  Quan, you're up.
• 1:20:55
  Yeah, so I told you I don't know much
• 1:20:56
  about South Wales Wales, but for for
• 1:20:59
  Solent, uh I know they have a hell of a
• 1:21:01
  QB down there who can scramble his
• 1:21:04
  behind off.
• 1:21:05
  Um and to see him throw for three you
• 1:21:07
  said as well?
• 1:21:10
  Uh yeah, three three touchdowns yeah.
• 1:21:12
  Three three yeah.
• 1:21:13
  I don't see too much in all them rushing
• 1:21:15
  yards as well though. Yeah, I'm I'm sure
• 1:21:17
  it was.
• 1:21:19
  Um but no, it's it's it's it's really
• 1:21:21
  great to see uh I know that, you know,
• 1:21:23
  uh Coach Gibbs is is is cooking up a
• 1:21:25
  really good offense down there, so
• 1:21:27
  that's why these stats are coming out
• 1:21:29
  every single um
• 1:21:30
  every single week, you know, that are
• 1:21:32
  that are eye-popping, eye-catching
• 1:21:33
  stats. Uh what does, you know, and what
• 1:21:36
  I've been watching and what has
• 1:21:37
  concerned me with them as a team looking
• 1:21:39
  objectively and not as EKM player is the
• 1:21:42
  the points allowed, the points conceded.
• 1:21:45
  And, you know, I've heard of a little
• 1:21:47
  bit that they are a bit worried about
• 1:21:48
  that on the defensive side of the ball,
• 1:21:50
  so I'm interested to see as the season
• 1:21:52
  develops, do they tighten that up or is
• 1:21:54
  that something that I guess we or other
• 1:21:57
  teams in the playoffs will be able to
• 1:21:58
  exploit because it'll be a shootout.
• 1:22:01
  I can't wait for you two to play each
• 1:22:02
  other if you do cuz they're going to You
• 1:22:04
  do realize they're going to clip this.
• 1:22:05
  They're going to clip this. They're
• 1:22:06
  going to put it
• 1:22:07
  all.
• 1:22:09
  >> Right.
• 1:22:10
  Yeah.
• 1:22:11
  Leave, what did you think of this one,
• 1:22:12
  mate?
• 1:22:13
  Uh do you know what, this this was the
• 1:22:14
  game we were looking forward to, wasn't
• 1:22:16
  it? You know, the the the the Thrashers
• 1:22:18
  heading over to Wales, you know, the the
• 1:22:20
  Welsh obviously we've been we've been,
• 1:22:22
  you know, we've been bumping them up
• 1:22:24
  with with all their wins that they've
• 1:22:26
  been tallying up and
• 1:22:28
  and this was the game to watch and we
• 1:22:31
  now know who the dominant force in this
• 1:22:33
  league is.
• 1:22:34
  The Solent Thrashers are
• 1:22:36
  are are going to be the winners of this
• 1:22:38
  league
• 1:22:39
  unless
• 1:22:41
  something absolutely crazy happens. Uh
• 1:22:44
  but we've got a comment here. Solent
• 1:22:45
  O-line is
• 1:22:47
  top top, said from a very bruised South
• 1:22:50
  Wales D-lineman this evening. Wow, okay,
• 1:22:53
  well that
• 1:22:54
  that kind of tells you everything.
• 1:22:56
  Um you know
• 1:22:57
  Liv?
• 1:22:59
  Yeah, I mean as we're saying it's one of
• 1:23:01
  the matches that we were kind of
• 1:23:04
  looking out for and watching cuz it is
• 1:23:06
  the two top kind of teams in that
• 1:23:08
  division going head to head.
• 1:23:10
  You know, Solent I think I think
• 1:23:12
  sometimes I do forget that you know they
• 1:23:13
  are a former Prem side. Like two seasons
• 1:23:15
  ago they were in the Prem South.
• 1:23:17
  >> Mhm. And I I sometimes that does kind of
• 1:23:19
  slip my mind just cuz of we didn't play
• 1:23:21
  them last year, you know, it's
• 1:23:22
  it does happen. But yeah, it's it's a
• 1:23:25
  good score. Um it'll be interesting to
• 1:23:27
  kind of see that reverse fixture, you
• 1:23:28
  know, when Wales travel down uh
• 1:23:30
  Southampton, is it? Yeah. Solent is
• 1:23:33
  Southampton. Yeah, Solent.
• 1:23:35
  Yeah. So it'll be interesting to kind of
• 1:23:36
  see that flip fixture and see if maybe
• 1:23:39
  if you know, the Warriors travel well.
• 1:23:42
  Yeah, it'll be definitely interesting,
• 1:23:44
  but Solent they're as I think I maybe
• 1:23:47
  said a couple weeks ago it would be
• 1:23:49
  Solent or um South Wales that you know,
• 1:23:52
  would be fighting to come up to the Prem
• 1:23:54
  again.
• 1:23:56
  Okay. It's going to be an interesting
• 1:23:57
  one. Let's move to the Prem folks.
• 1:24:01
  So, Prem was an interesting one. Um
• 1:24:04
  going to start off with the I think it
• 1:24:05
  was the Saturday game.
• 1:24:06
  East Kilbride Pirates 13, Coventry
• 1:24:09
  Phoenix 16.
• 1:24:11
  I don't know if any of you guys watched
• 1:24:12
  this. I watched this. This was a
• 1:24:13
  brilliant game. But what makes me laugh
• 1:24:16
  every East Kilbride Pirates game,
• 1:24:18
  without a shadow of a doubt, every 90
• 1:24:20
  seconds, a very angry Scottish woman.
• 1:24:22
  Come on, Pirates! Literally. And
• 1:24:25
  I've [snorts] not seen this girl, but
• 1:24:27
  she scares the life out of me.
• 1:24:29
  >> [laughter]
• 1:24:30
  >> Fair play, Coventry Phoenix. You went
• 1:24:32
  over the border and got a result. That
• 1:24:33
  is a hard place to go to to get a win.
• 1:24:35
  Lee, you are up, my friend. Liv, we're
• 1:24:37
  going to come to you last on this one.
• 1:24:39
  Yeah, so I mean, again, you know, these
• 1:24:42
  these sort of long-distance games
• 1:24:44
  um yeah, you know, the the the score the
• 1:24:47
  score tells it all, really, doesn't it?
• 1:24:48
  You know, it was a tightly-fought game.
• 1:24:51
  Yeah. Um but, you know, the
• 1:24:53
  the dominant team in my eyes would have
• 1:24:55
  would have won this game.
• 1:24:57
  Um
• 1:24:58
  so, yeah, hats off to the Phoenix. Who
• 1:25:00
  is Um I think these are they're
• 1:25:02
  definitely
• 1:25:04
  poising themselves into that
• 1:25:05
  second-place position.
• 1:25:07
  Um
• 1:25:08
  uh barring any shocks between them
• 1:25:10
  matching up against the Titans, I think.
• 1:25:13
  Well, it
• 1:25:14
  I think that return leg of a Phoenix is
• 1:25:16
  going to be clinical. Oh, yeah.
• 1:25:18
  Clinical.
• 1:25:19
  Um
• 1:25:20
  this is a really, really good game to
• 1:25:22
  watch. It was a great stream, too. I
• 1:25:23
  always want to compliment teams on the
• 1:25:24
  streams. Um
• 1:25:27
  >> [snorts]
• 1:25:27
  >> it is going to be interesting, the Prem
• 1:25:29
  North.
• 1:25:31
  Um
• 1:25:31
  Guam, anyone on this one, mate?
• 1:25:33
  No, I don't have any intel on these two
• 1:25:36
  teams. No worries. Liv, you're up, mate.
• 1:25:39
  Yeah, you know, [sighs] back to back to
• 1:25:41
  Scottish team, back Pirates, cuz you
• 1:25:43
  know, they are a very strong program. I
• 1:25:45
  mean, a very close game, so this kind of
• 1:25:48
  reverse fixture
• 1:25:50
  it might be as close again, it might not
• 1:25:52
  be, but it will be interesting to kind
• 1:25:54
  of see.
• 1:25:55
  Um yeah, in terms of the Scottish person
• 1:25:58
  screaming on the stream, I unfortunately
• 1:25:59
  I didn't watch it. That's normal. I
• 1:26:01
  mean, if you'd heard me on Sunday
• 1:26:03
  shouting as well, like I I I'm really
• 1:26:05
  bad for shouting on the sidelines, so
• 1:26:07
  that's that's standard.
• 1:26:09
  Standard Scottish woman. Just sounds
• 1:26:11
  like someone I wouldn't want to play
• 1:26:12
  against. Like, if she [laughter] was a
• 1:26:14
  dealer, mate, I'd just go, "You can go
• 1:26:15
  past, love. Just just scare the very
• 1:26:18
  Whoever you are, fantastic. Keep doing
• 1:26:20
  what you're doing cuz every time you
• 1:26:21
  said it, I think they they did a good
• 1:26:23
  job.
• 1:26:23
  >> Was she a spectator or was she a player?
• 1:26:25
  Spectator. Oh. Someone in the crowd, but
• 1:26:28
  cuz I've watched pretty much every one
• 1:26:29
  of their streams, every stream.
• 1:26:32
  Come on, Pirates. Like, yeah, yeah,
• 1:26:34
  yeah. Anyway,
• 1:26:35
  Wembley Stallions 6,
• 1:26:38
  Cambridge Cats 33. Up the Cambridge
• 1:26:40
  Cats.
• 1:26:42
  I feel sorry for the Stallions cuz they
• 1:26:43
  they nearly won their first game and I
• 1:26:45
  think they will take that revenge
• 1:26:47
  against Rushmore.
• 1:26:49
  But, Cambridge Cats last season. Now,
• 1:26:51
  look, they
• 1:26:53
  Liv, we know you're both involved in
• 1:26:54
  this club
• 1:26:55
  and I always play devil's advocate. I'll
• 1:26:56
  always give criticism. I'll always, you
• 1:26:58
  know,
• 1:26:59
  there's not really much criticism to
• 1:27:00
  give here because
• 1:27:03
  you took
• 1:27:04
  Blitz all the way to the fourth quarter
• 1:27:06
  and then you've absolutely smashed it
• 1:27:08
  this week.
• 1:27:09
  The question is is how far do do can the
• 1:27:12
  Cats go?
• 1:27:13
  33-6, great win. Lee, you are up, my
• 1:27:16
  friend. I'm pretty sure you
• 1:27:18
  So, obviously, I was there streaming
• 1:27:20
  this game. So, if you want to watch the
• 1:27:22
  watch the game back, you can find it on
• 1:27:24
  the YouTube channel. Just go to click on
• 1:27:26
  the live live section and you'll should
• 1:27:28
  be able to see the game
• 1:27:30
  back in full and listening to my
• 1:27:33
  mellow sort of voice as a commentator.
• 1:27:37
  But, yes, the Cats the Cats last year
• 1:27:42
  they we said this before that they have
• 1:27:45
  got
• 1:27:46
  a fantastic set of of skilled wide
• 1:27:49
  receivers,
• 1:27:50
  QBs, running backs, defensive backs.
• 1:27:54
  The whole thing was was almost a dream
• 1:27:58
  team last year. However,
• 1:28:02
  the trenches suffered
• 1:28:05
  a huge loss with players transferring,
• 1:28:08
  leaving, getting injured,
• 1:28:10
  um
• 1:28:11
  and just not recruiting very well. Um
• 1:28:14
  a year later, you know, we we've we've
• 1:28:16
  we've they've come back this season.
• 1:28:18
  They've recruited absolutely
• 1:28:19
  brilliantly. Um and the the both lines
• 1:28:23
  are looking terrifying. Uh the the
• 1:28:27
  offensive line were creating gaps for
• 1:28:29
  the running back. The running back Teddy
• 1:28:31
  Pope was
• 1:28:32
  uh was was making positive yards on
• 1:28:35
  nearly every single play the every time
• 1:28:37
  he got the ball.
• 1:28:38
  Um the defensive line for the Cats were
• 1:28:41
  were giving the Stallions no running
• 1:28:43
  room whatsoever. And stopping the run uh
• 1:28:47
  shutting it down every single time. Um
• 1:28:49
  and for an offensive
• 1:28:51
  uh team like the Stallions to only walk
• 1:28:53
  away with uh with six points and it
• 1:28:56
  wasn't even an offensive
• 1:28:58
  uh score. It was a defensive pick-six um
• 1:29:01
  towards the end of the game.
• 1:29:03
  Um
• 1:29:04
  it kind of shows that, you know, the the
• 1:29:05
  the the Cats defense it is is a strong
• 1:29:08
  strong
• 1:29:09
  point uh and and teams are going to
• 1:29:12
  struggle to go up against it, I think.
• 1:29:15
  Okay. Um Liv, I'm going to come to you
• 1:29:17
  last. Quon, anything on these teams?
• 1:29:19
  Yeah, yeah, Wembley obviously we played
• 1:29:21
  them last year and we've had issues with
• 1:29:24
  them um you know, in a few playoff
• 1:29:26
  games. Uh what what I would say though
• 1:29:28
  is that, you know, they were quite a
• 1:29:30
  one-trick pony when we played them. It
• 1:29:32
  was it was the run or nothing um for
• 1:29:35
  them. And so I I it kind of doesn't
• 1:29:38
  shock me to see that with shutting down
• 1:29:40
  the run or with Cambridge shutting down
• 1:29:42
  the run uh that they were struggling on
• 1:29:44
  offense. Um you know, the the the guy
• 1:29:47
  who scored the pick-six, Tyrese, a
• 1:29:49
  linebacker for Wembley, that was his
• 1:29:51
  second uh pick-six in a row. I think he
• 1:29:54
  had one against um Bristol the week
• 1:29:57
  before. Um and he has scored more
• 1:29:59
  touchdowns than all of the Wembley
• 1:30:02
  Stallions wide receivers combined if I'm
• 1:30:04
  not mistaken. So, it it's it's just
• 1:30:07
  something that they'll have to work out
• 1:30:08
  with um you know increasing that
• 1:30:10
  connection between the QB and how they
• 1:30:12
  are going to be playing together cuz
• 1:30:13
  competing at the premier as we would
• 1:30:15
  have discussed earlier is a big jump.
• 1:30:17
  Yeah I mean just just to just to touch
• 1:30:19
  on that yeah you know that
• 1:30:21
  >> [gasps]
• 1:30:22
  >> that that defense
• 1:30:23
  you know that they they tried their best
• 1:30:25
  they were they were looking strong the
• 1:30:27
  offense I think was was their main
• 1:30:29
  downfall their their QB
• 1:30:32
  from what we could see on the stream and
• 1:30:35
  and what I saw there and live
• 1:30:38
  he seems to loft the ball a little bit
• 1:30:40
  too much putting it up in the air and
• 1:30:42
  giving
• 1:30:43
  defensive backs the opportunity to
• 1:30:45
  intercept it and there were four
• 1:30:46
  interceptions four interceptions in that
• 1:30:49
  game two of which were were
• 1:30:51
  taken back for the score.
• 1:30:53
  >> [clears throat]
• 1:30:55
  >> The pass was too late.
• 1:30:56
  >> [laughter]
• 1:30:57
  >> Yeah.
• 1:30:59
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:31:01
  First drive on.
• 1:31:03
  It was my first drive on as well.
• 1:31:05
  God this I'm still coming back from I
• 1:31:06
  dislocated my finger a few weeks ago so
• 1:31:08
  I was not too like sure about getting
• 1:31:11
  fielded and then you know they obviously
• 1:31:13
  was like look we'll put you on for like
• 1:31:15
  one snap one play and then we'll put
• 1:31:16
  like
• 1:31:18
  Jay who's one of the other players we'll
• 1:31:19
  put him on as running back give him a
• 1:31:21
  couple reps and I was like yeah that's
• 1:31:22
  fine. And as soon as I curled out on my
• 1:31:25
  route I seen that no one was on me
• 1:31:28
  and I was like I'm getting this ball I'm
• 1:31:29
  getting this ball I'm going to have to
• 1:31:30
  catch this ball and I'm going to have to
• 1:31:31
  turn and run up the field. I go a
• 1:31:33
  turning catch it and it's just the way
• 1:31:35
  it's been lofted to me
• 1:31:38
  and it was just yeah and I kind of froze
• 1:31:40
  in that moment cuz we're so close to the
• 1:31:41
  end zone as well
• 1:31:43
  from the position that I had my body I
• 1:31:45
  was like I can't turn and tackle him
• 1:31:48
  because one I'm right behind there there
• 1:31:50
  was a good gap between me and him and I
• 1:31:51
  was like I'm there's no way in hell I'm
• 1:31:52
  getting him. It was it was definitely a
• 1:31:54
  good read by the line backer there.
• 1:31:57
  >> [clears throat]
• 1:31:57
  >> Yeah. I mean in terms of the game sorry
• 1:31:59
  um
• 1:32:01
  I do think it was it was it went well.
• 1:32:03
  It went well for us.
• 1:32:04
  But there was a lot of disciplinary
• 1:32:07
  like penalties against us as a team. We
• 1:32:10
  had a lot of you know, silly calls,
• 1:32:13
  blocks in the back. Luckily no
• 1:32:15
  unsportsmanlike, which is good. Um but
• 1:32:18
  like, you know, silly calls, holding,
• 1:32:20
  blocks backs, like yapping away when you
• 1:32:22
  shouldn't be yapping. Like those kind of
• 1:32:24
  ones. That was
• 1:32:26
  definitely one of our downfalls in the
• 1:32:27
  game.
• 1:32:29
  Don't get me wrong, like didn't take
• 1:32:30
  away from what we've done, but as a
• 1:32:32
  unit, both on offense and defense, you
• 1:32:34
  know, we are better than that. We
• 1:32:36
  I don't know what was happening, but we
• 1:32:38
  just
• 1:32:39
  we should be better and we are more of a
• 1:32:41
  disciplined team than that and it just
• 1:32:43
  it kind of slipped away from us,
• 1:32:44
  especially kind of as the game
• 1:32:46
  progressed on and on.
• 1:32:48
  But yeah, other than that, it was solid
• 1:32:49
  from us. You know, our sideline
• 1:32:52
  was definitely very reactive and it was
• 1:32:55
  a good laugh for once. It was like a
• 1:32:57
  nice kind of relaxed environment
• 1:33:00
  compared to how maybe it was like last
• 1:33:01
  year when maybe we weren't winning. It
• 1:33:03
  was just chill, you know, we're all
• 1:33:05
  sitting laughing, all having kind of fun
• 1:33:07
  while playing and that's, you know,
• 1:33:09
  that's what football's about.
• 1:33:12
  Look, it's interesting. I'm really
• 1:33:14
  excited to see you guys play Blitz again
• 1:33:16
  and Bristol. Be interesting to see.
• 1:33:19
  Um I I like Wembley Stallions as well.
• 1:33:21
  They seem like a a well-run club. Um all
• 1:33:23
  levels of football, youth, junior, and
• 1:33:25
  stuff like that. Um it is an interesting
• 1:33:27
  one, but I'm pretty sure Kwan hopes they
• 1:33:29
  stay stay up so that they can play them
• 1:33:31
  next season and get revenge.
• 1:33:33
  Um
• 1:33:34
  right. So, uh Rushmoor Knights 0, London
• 1:33:37
  Blitz 48. I've not really got nothing to
• 1:33:39
  say in this. I'm not surprised. Looks
• 1:33:42
  like there's a bit of turmoil going on
• 1:33:43
  in the background at Knights with um
• 1:33:46
  coaches leaving. Kwan, any comments on
• 1:33:48
  this one?
• 1:33:49
  Uh
• 1:33:50
  nothing major. Just interested to see
• 1:33:52
  where uh the head coach does end up at,
• 1:33:55
  whether he will be a coach or a player.
• 1:33:59
  Only time will tell. Let's get on to the
• 1:34:00
  power ranking. Um
• 1:34:03
  So, uh I need to change this to Matty's
• 1:34:05
  power rankings so people stop getting
• 1:34:06
  grief uh stop getting grief. Let's just
• 1:34:08
  load them up full screen. Just one
• 1:34:09
  moment. So, first place, the Aztecs.
• 1:34:13
  Second place, the Titans. Third place,
• 1:34:15
  Blitz. Fourth place, Phoenix. Uh fifth
• 1:34:19
  place, the Cats climb up. Sixth place,
• 1:34:22
  East Kilbride Pirates. East Kilbride
• 1:34:24
  Pirates. Come on, Pirates. Uh seventh,
• 1:34:26
  not
• 1:34:27
  >> [laughter]
• 1:34:27
  >> eighth, Rushmore Knights. Ninth, Wembley
• 1:34:30
  Stallions. 10th, Mersey side Nighthawks.
• 1:34:34
  Um I didn't get too much flak on that
• 1:34:35
  and I usually do get a bit of flak on
• 1:34:37
  that. So, I I I'll I'll I'll take that.
• 1:34:39
  Um the hardest one to do, believe it or
• 1:34:42
  not, is
• 1:34:43
  one because there's that many leagues
• 1:34:44
  and there's so many teams undefeated. Um
• 1:34:47
  East Kent Mavericks, number one. Any
• 1:34:49
  disagreements there, Juan?
• 1:34:50
  No, sir. Yeah, I thought so.
• 1:34:54
  Um
• 1:34:56
  the the the the playing brilliant as
• 1:34:57
  well as the Solent Frashers, who are
• 1:34:59
  third. London Blitz B, who are fourth.
• 1:35:01
  Newcastle Vikings are fifth and Oxford
• 1:35:04
  Saints are sixth. Just for context, the
• 1:35:07
  top six are undefeated. Lester Pumpers
• 1:35:10
  are in seventh. Yorkshire Rams back in
• 1:35:11
  at eighth. South Wales [snorts] Warriors
• 1:35:13
  at ninth. And the Cheetahs are in at
• 1:35:15
  10th. It's so hard to do that one. Like
• 1:35:19
  it's it's not even like a a a little bit
• 1:35:21
  difficult because there's there's so
• 1:35:23
  many teams and you're like, well, I'm
• 1:35:24
  leaving out Well, I have people to do
• 1:35:27
  like I've I've not
• 1:35:28
  It it's in a it's it is it's a difficult
• 1:35:30
  one. Uh let's move on to the next div
• 1:35:32
  div, which was div two, which is my
• 1:35:34
  favorite. Without div two, you wouldn't
• 1:35:35
  have any of your leagues because you all
• 1:35:37
  like to poach from us from our really
• 1:35:39
  good players. Ipswich Cardinals in
• 1:35:41
  first, as mentioned before. The only
• 1:35:43
  reason they're there is because they've
• 1:35:45
  just not conceded any points, but I
• 1:35:46
  think if the Bucks get a big statement
• 1:35:47
  win this weekend, there's nothing to
• 1:35:49
  stop them going top. Plymouth Fan Garden
• 1:35:51
  third. Wakefield Raiders in fourth.
• 1:35:53
  Rossendale They've players,
• 1:35:57
  too. Rossendale Bucks in fifth. I can't
• 1:36:00
  wait to see Raiders play the Bucks.
• 1:36:03
  Somerset Wyverns in sixth, Birmingham
• 1:36:05
  Bulls in seventh, Humber Warhawks in
• 1:36:07
  eighth, who's Valley Eagles are back in
• 1:36:08
  at ninth, and Lincolnshire Bombers at
• 1:36:11
  10th. They are the power rankings. If
• 1:36:13
  you don't like them,
• 1:36:15
  oh well.
• 1:36:16
  Um right,
• 1:36:17
  >> [laughter]
• 1:36:17
  >> massively overrun, so we're going to be
• 1:36:19
  very quick doing this last part. Quan,
• 1:36:20
  thank you so much for giving us your
• 1:36:21
  time, mate. Um
• 1:36:23
  just a quickly, mate, uh if someone
• 1:36:25
  wants to transfer to East Coast
• 1:36:26
  Mavericks, how can he, uh you know, get
• 1:36:27
  in contact about playing and stuff like
• 1:36:29
  that? What's what's the best way to
• 1:36:30
  contact the club? Yeah, if you're
• 1:36:32
  interested in reaching out to us, you
• 1:36:33
  can contact myself, or you can reach out
• 1:36:35
  through our Instagram page. That's the
• 1:36:37
  easiest way to do that.
• 1:36:38
  Perfect, perfect. You don't need a
• 1:36:40
  chunky kicker, do you?
• 1:36:41
  Uh what did you say there? A a a thicker
• 1:36:44
  kicker? Thicker kicker, that's all.
• 1:36:47
  >> [laughter]
• 1:36:48
  >> Right,
• 1:36:50
  let's get on to
• 1:36:51
  let's get on to the predictions. There's
• 1:36:53
  no Prem ball this weekend. I know
• 1:36:56
  I'm pretty sure
• 1:36:58
  there's a friendly going on, but we
• 1:36:59
  don't like to talk about the friendlies
• 1:37:01
  um for all them reasons, but let's get
• 1:37:02

• 1:40:29
  game,
• 1:40:30
  um, turn up to this game, um, I can't
• 1:40:32
  see anything other than a Bombers win.

  Bombers as well, yeah.
• 1:40:45
  Clean sweep. Clean clean sweep. Um, we
• 1:40:49
  got an email from someone from Humber
• 1:40:50
  last week who wasn't happy with the
• 1:40:52
  information um, we said about, you know,
• 1:40:54
  what's going on at Humber.
• 1:40:56
  Um,
• 1:40:57
  we only go off what we get off other
• 1:40:59
  people. When we get the same message six
• 1:41:01
  times, that's the reason we do that.
• 1:41:03
  Really like Humber. They seem like a
• 1:41:04
  really good club and I do wish them the
• 1:41:06
  best of luck this season, just not when
• 1:41:07
  they play my team.
• 1:41:09
  Um, right. So, Rossendale Bucks against

  Lee Miners. Um, I'm going for the Bucks
• 1:41:14
  on this one. It's going to be good to
• 1:41:15
  see them back in action. Lee? Yeah. I'm
• 1:41:17
  excited to see what the Bucks do.

  Yep. Liv?

  interesting one that one. Um, GB have

  Saturday camp training. Uh, no, Nathan,

  how do you think um,
• 1:42:23
  how do you think Washington are going to
• 1:42:25
  do this season?
• 1:42:26
  Uh, I think we'll probably finish around
• 1:42:30
  uh, 11 and 5.
• 1:42:34
  Four wins.
• 1:42:35
  Oh, they're fourth in the league, that's
