Wolves tackle Blackhawks

 

The race for the playoffs may be heating up, but the Edinburgh Wolves American football team is determined to stay focused on Saturday's clash with the Clyde Valley Blackhawks at Meadowbank stadium.

The Wolves take the field against their evenly matched Scottish rivals having suffered three straight losses, the most recent of which coming via a 19-0 shutout in Glasgow two weeks ago.

With a 4-4 record, Edinburgh can still make the playoffs, although they must win this weekend and again in two weeks, and then hope results from the rest of the league go their way.

Coach Don Edmonston said the team is not thinking of anything beyond Saturday. "The playoffs are not our concern, winning this game is our priority." he said. "We need to pay attention to the details and do the little things well. If we do the little things, the big things will take care of themselves."

The Wolves have already beaten the Blackhawks once this season, recording a 10-6 victory on the road thanks to a touchdown catch by Stu Galloway and a field goal by Billy Mitchell. Kick-off on Saturday is at 2pm. Admission is £5 for adults and free for children.
