The Knights defense got the first score of the game when they sacked the Admirals quarterback in the endzone to score a 2 point safety. However, the Admirals got the first offensive score of the game in the second quarter when quarterback David Lomasney threw a 60 yard touchdown pass to Keith O'Callaghan.

The Admirals then extended their lead just before halftime with Lomasney's third long touchdown pass of the day, this time to Alain Pezoran, to give Cork an 18-9 lead at halftime.

The third quarter belonged to the Knights offense. They scored two touchdowns to give themselves a one score lead over the Admirals. New starting quarterback Adam Devenney was instrumental in both scores. The first was a 15 yard pass to veteran receiver Paul McKillop and the second was a 2 yard quarterback sneak by Devenney himself. The Knights maintained their 5 point lead until the 2-minute warning.

A fourth down stop however prevented the Admirals from scoring. The Vikings scored their first touchdown of the game on their next possesion thanks to a 26 yard run by running back Chris Bassitt who also got the conversion. The remainder of the first half was an even affair, both defenses played well during this period.

Time ran out in the half before the Admirals could put any points on the board.

Running back Alain Pezorant scored 4 touchdowns and got over 100 yards rushing in a comprehensive victory for the Cork Admirals at home to the North Dublin Marshals. The Admirals rushing attack dominated the first quarter. The Admirals managed to convert their opening three possessions into touchdowns with the offensive line executing sharply, with Rob Hennessy, Chris Gaughan and rookie Rich Bos playing well. The Admirals defense, led by James Lordan and Pat DuBoucher on the defensive line and Ibrahim Khadra and Antonio Garrido at linebacker, overpowered the Marshals offensive line making it difficult for the Marshals quarterback Seth Larson to find the time to connect with his receivers. Larson managed to make plays through the air when he scrambled to avoid the rush.

The Admirals domination continues into the second half with running backs Keith O’Callaghan and rookie Dave Twohig adding two touchdowns in the third quarter. In the same quarter, the Marshals managed to move the ball into scoring range and Darien Bell scored from 9 yards out. Admirals defensive back John Duggan rounded out the third quarter scoring with a 75 yard interception return behind good blocking from defensive backfield teammates Barry Rafferty and John O'Sullivan. During the fourth quarter the Marshals began to move the ball with their running game, but they fell just short of the endzone. Further rushing scores, each from 2 yard out from Pezorant and David Lomasney made the final score 66-8 in favour of the Admirals.

Knights win in Cork
Venue: Pfizers Sports Club, Cork.


Scorers:
1st quarter: CAR: David Wright 32yd run (6-0); COR: Keith O’Callaghan 8yd run + CAR: David Wright conversion return (8-6).
2nd quarter: No scoring.
3rd quarter: No scoring.
4th quarter: CAR: Robert Elliot 3yd run + 2xpt (16-6), CAR: Spencer McDowell 30yd pass from Adam Devenney (24-6)

Game Report.

The final score suggests a comfortable win for the Knights, but in reality the game was a lot closer with both teams separated by a bizarre conversion return until the Knights eventually sealed the game late in the final quarter. The Knights atoned for their loss to the Admirals at the beginning of the season, and can still win a second place finish, and home playoff game, should they win their remaining games.

The Admirals took the firs possession of the game and moved the ball well into the Knights red-zone, Chris Gaughan and Rob Hennessy playing well. The offense did not convert the drive however and the ball was turned over on downs. After a good defensive stand the Admirals got the ball back at midfield and once again moved the ball well before a Keith O'Callaghan fumble deep in Knights territory was recovered by Darren Montgomery.
Running back David Wright put the Knights ahead thanks to a 32 yard touchdown run, which immediately followed a muffed Admirals punt return. However, the Knights lead was short lived. After getting into scoring range, the Admirals tied the score when Keith O’Callaghan scored from 8 yards out behind crushing blocks form Alain Pezeron and Pual Buchanan. The Knights then got a 2 point bonus thanks to a rarely seen 2 point conversion return. Clint McDowell, this time playing on special teams, intercepted the ball from the Admirals on the Admirals conversion attempt and returned the full length of the pitch into the endzone to score 2 points for the Knights.

For most of the remainder of the game, both defences were on top. Pat DuBoucher and James Lordan anchored the Admirals defensive line and Clinton McDowell and David Antuna played well on the Knights defence. The Knights scored their second touchdown on the game on the first play of the final quarter when, after moving the ball form their own 5 yard line in a drive that took up most of the third quarter, fullback Robert Elliot punched in a short yardage touchdown. The Admirals were still in the game until later in the quarter when quarterback Adam Devenney hit tight end Spencer McDowell for a 30 yard touchdown pass to seal the win for the Knights.
Both teams are still very much in play-off contention in a tightly contested IAFL.

During the 4th quarter the visitors lifted their play and moved the ball into scoring range via runs from James Gallagher, Shane Galway and Lomasney, behind excellent blocking by the Admirals line. Pezeron and Hugh McBratney each scored during this period to make the final score 28-6.
Despite fielding a team of mainly rookies the Saints had some impressive moments and will be a very competitive team next season.
