Junior Varsity Ironmen win a hard fought defensive struggle 16-14 over London in London. Domenic Bellardini opened the Ironmen scoring with a single point on a punt. Mike Smith then scored the first TD after an interception return of 70 yards by Alex Bourgeios. Later in the first half, the Falcons marched down the field only to get intercepted once again by Alex Bourgeios near the Ironmen goal line. The Ironmen lead throughout the game after the first TD. Chris Jugovic tossed a nice touchdown pass to Matt Bent to give the Ironmen their second touchdown on the day. Bellardini then kicked off and added a single to his excellent kicking and punting day. The defence played well blocking a field goal and putting constant pressure on the Falcons QB and their star runningback. Late in the game, after knocking the Falcons starting QB out of the game, the Falcons defence came up big on a 4th and 1 at the 50 yard line. London was able to capitalize with a touchdown on a hurry up Offence, getting behind the Ironmen deep zone coverage. The Ironmen then came up with a wall of defensive players denying the London Falcon QB a 2 point conversion at the 1 yard line to avert the tie.
