University of Hertfordshire -v- University of Essex

Hurricane force turns up the pressure

University of Hertfordshire Hurricanes 51, University of Essex Blades 0

The University of Essex Blades were the latest victims to feel the relentless strength of the Hurricane force blowing from the University of Hertfordshire in the British Universities American Football League.

Whilst the Hurricane's offense again proved an unstoppable force, the defense provided the immovable object by recording their second clean-sheet of the season with a dominating performance.

University of Hertfordshire -v- London South Bank University

The South East Conference topping Hurricanes got off to a shakey start after QB Joe Thompson was sacked on the third play of the game, the Spartans recovering the impending fumble and on their first play scoring on a 14 yard touchdown strike. But this proved to be the high-water mark for LSBU as the rest of the game was marked by a relentless tide of Hurricanes pressure.

Thompson restored the balance on Hertfordshire's very next possession, capping a long drive with a five yard scoring run. The Hurricanes added a further seven touchdowns before the end of the game with two a piece from Temi Odeyemi (28 yard rush and a 2 yard rush), James Howell (8 yard rush and a 5 yard rush), and Andy Harrison (6 yard and a 7 yard reception - both from Thompson), with defensive end Emmanual Olakotan gaining the last on a 10 yard fumble recovery and return.

University of Hertfordshire vs. Kings College

This was planned as an away game for the Hertfordshire Hurricanes, but due to pitch issues both teams had to make hasty arrangements to play on the Hurricanes pitch.

Thanks should go to the teams, league, officials and medical staff, who took on a “can do” attitude.

The first game of the year is always special, teams do not know how they measure up, if they will be contenders or pretenders, and this game was the same.
