Worcester Royals
In the second quarter, the game continued in this manner, until two late break away runs lead to the Longhorns going into the break two touchdowns up. The Royals heads seemed to go down, but the coaching staff rallied the team, and Worcester came out in the second half in a determined mood.
The determination paid off, as the royals were the first to score in the third quarter, with an excellent pass from Mike Burnage and an even better catch from Chris Mortimer. This is the third time in four games that this combination has occurred for the Royals.
Some defensive errors, after a hard fought game led to the Longhorns scoring touchdowns, but even the Leicester coaching staff admitted that the score line flattered their team.

NTU Renegades

Worcester Royals
On the 23rd of January, the Worcester Royals went to Nottingham to play the NTU Renegades. The Royals opened play with a decent kick return from Chris Mortimer, and the offence took to the field. The opening drive was unsuccessful, with the offence struggling against a physical Renegades defence.
NTU’s offence also struggled on their first drive, with Richard Penwright catching the first of his two interceptions of the day. The Royals took to the field once more and again struggled to gain any momentum, and had to punt the ball away.
Once NTU got the ball back however, they started to run the ball well, and their strong running back broke numerous tackles and scored two touchdowns in quick succession.
After these two touchdowns, the Royals heads dropped slightly, and even with a good completion form Mike Burnage to Dael Gethings the Royals still could not put points on the board. The game progressed in this way, with NTU scoring more points, and the game ended 33-0 to the Renegades.
