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.

This weekend saw another amazing game! Colchester Gladiators travelled north to Peterborough to face the East Midland Saxons. Unfortunately I missed the first half because of other work commitments but managed to arrive just in time to see the last couple of plays of the 2nd quarter.
The sun was beating down making an already very physical game even harder on both sides. Colchester pulled the game out of the bag eventually winning 24 - 23. Every game seems to come down to the wire. It seems the Gladiators always struggle to get started and then somehow turn it on for the second half.
To see my images from the Gladiators @ Saxons click the underlined words. Next week (Sunday 30th July) the Gladiators have a rematch against the Saxons, you can bet it's gonna be serious, loosing by one point after a three hour game never goes down well and you can bet the Saxons will be looking for revenge.
For details of next weeks games (and the rest of the season) check out the Gladiators web page here www.colchestergladiators.com. See you on Sunday?
