Colchester Gladiators v East Midland Saxons (home win)

July 30th saw the return match of the East Midland saxons coming to broad Lane stadium in Wivenhoe to take on the Colchester Gladiators. Just like the previous game it came right down to the wire with the Gladiators managing to hold out in the dieing seconds to gain another win. This means the Gladiators progress to the play offs and are now playing to get homefield advantage. This is a realy important factor as the games start to get further away and the Gladiators home crowd can kick up a noise to wake the dead.

My images from the Gladiators v Saxons are here.

For once I actually appeared in a photograph (as shown here) many thanks to Allen Jackson. Although I was a little busy shooting I did manage to have a quick chat with him. He told me it was his first time shooting American Football and from what I have seen he did a great job. The gladiators next home is this Sunday but unfortunately due to work commitments (wedding) i won't be there but you could be ..... check out the Gladiators website here for timings etc.
