AMERICAN FOOTBALL: Saints go for glory

11:21pm Friday 22nd September 2006

Oxford Saints go for glory against West Coast Trojans in the BritBowl XX Division 2 final at the Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield tomorrow (noon).

Saints will be looking to their strong defence to provide them with the platform for victory.

They have conceded less than seven points a game on average during the season, and go into the final on the back of a shut-out victory against Southern Conference champions Sussex Thunder.

Oxford, one of the oldest teams in Great Britain, are also a powerful force going forward.

Trojans, in only their second year in the British American Football League, are led byhead coach and quarterback Gary McNey.
