Following the first camp last weekend the Eagles had an early opportunity to find out how much the new players had learnt, with a trip to meet the Cambridge University Pythons in our first scrimmage of the season.

With the Pythons in the middle of their season they came out all guns blazing and scored on their first two possessions, but as the Eagles defense became accustomed to the pace and intensity of the game they soon began to assert themselves.

The Eagles offense also started to click into gear with new QBs Zach Wodaege and Michael Davies both leading scoring drives.

The game was played in a marvellous spirit from start to finish and we would like to offer our thanks to Head Coach Julian Fuller and all at the University for hosting us. We hope they got as much out of it as we did, and wish them well for the rest of their season.

Following the positive start to pre-season attention now turns to the second camp of the winter, at Bedford International Athletics Stadium on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st February.
