10th May 2009 - Fire away!

The team traveled to Edinburgh today for a pre-season scrimmage with the Wolves, and a chance to wear their new away jerseys for the first time. The two teams, who have a very good working relationship, had a joint practice session rounding of with a team scrimmage.

Despite only traveling with 7 players, the Fire defense held strong all day, not allowing any points conceded, whilst on Offense rookie Wide receiver Cammy Bernard scored the opening TD, which was complimented when seasoned Fullback Martyn Paterson added another 6 with his touch down.

Headcoach Mark Bramwell commented of his players, "I'm very proud of our small squad today. We asked most of our guys to play both ways, and they stepped up and showed us they wanted to play football."

He continued, "The offense started clicking into gear and were productive with 2 TDs but we need to work on our conversions. Defensively we were a little rusty but did a good job, with rookie Nosetackle Mark Fox having a good day keeping the QB under pressure in his first ever game."

But it wasn't the individuals that triumphed, the whole team are to be congratulated after pulling together and showing what they can do. The Fire now return to practice on Saturday, and welcome anyone to come along and try the sport. Training is every Saturday 11.30 at Duloch Leisure Centre, Dunfermline.
