Tigers Slay Clansmen
It was another huge running day for rookie RB Lewis King who carried for 240 yards and 2TDs. This brings his season total to 543yds and 6TDS already.
In the 1st quarter rookie WR Scott McIntosh started with a 22-yard TD grab on a slant thrown by QB Gregor Beattie. After RB Lewis King had set it up with a 21 yard run.
RB Lewis King did not have to wait until the second quarter to get his name on the score sheet; he punched the ball through the Stirling Clansmen defence 8 yards for the score.
In the 2nd quarter QB Gregor Beattie again found McIntosh in the end zone, with a pass that was almost identical to the first. RB Lewis King scored the two point conversion.
After the half, it was back to Lewis King for his second TD of the day and the Tigers fourth. This Touchdown pretty much brought a curtain down on Lewis King day, and many of the Tigers starters as the Glasgow men rotated in a number of back ups.
The Stirling Clansmen offence were finding it hard throughout the day to get anything on the stingy Tigers defence, which is looking as good, if not better than it has in years. With a heavy set of linemen, incredibly mobile and vicious linebackers, and a group of ball-hawks known as the Tigers secondary with CB Nick Halkpenny as the jewel in the crown.
With Lewis King out the game, Gregor Beattie the QB made sure that nobody could forget how important he was to the Tigers offence as he began to air the ball out, culminating in a 68-yard bomb to WR Ewan Beesly.
FB Lewis Begbie, who was chasing his first TD of the season must have thought the football gods were out to get him but finally got into the red zone. They left it to Lewis 2.0 to get the 2-point as the Shetland Pony galloped into the end zone.
Stirling wide receiver Josh Polson: Brother of Tigers Paul Polson: grabbed a consolation 15-yard TD on a screen pass.
The Tigers looked a bit shaky after this and the men from Stirling drove all the way to the 2-yard line towards the end of the game. But it wasn’t enough as the Tigers put in an impressive goal line stop. An exclamation point on another emphatic performance by the 2009/10 Glasgow Tigers.
