The Lancashire Wolverines American Football Club completed their first season back in the British American Football League (BAFL) on Sunday with a gutsy comeback win against Scottish opponents Edinburgh Wolves.

Trailing 7-28 at half-time, the Blackburn-based side fought back with 26 unanswered points to win 33-28; a comeback that is being hailed as one of the best in the Club's 17 year history and the largest comeback of the BAFL 2007 season.

Head Coach, Paul Horsburgh said after the game: "That was an emotional rollercoaster of a game. A first half to forget and a second to go down in team history. We really pulled together today and played for each other. Only great things can come in the future"

Defensive Co-ordinator Darren Carr added: "We put ourselves in a hole in the first half but with a few minor adjustments and a lot of heart we pulled off the best comeback I can remember in my 14 years in British football. The offence were unstoppable in the second half, and deserve all the praise they get, but I was even more impressed with the defence, who all stepped up to put the offence in the position to win the game. It was fitting for me that the game was sealed by the interception by Lex Dunn. It would be difficult to pick out any one player, as it was a true team performance that I was proud to be a part of. This game shows how far we have come and proves to all those that doubted the Wolverines, that we are back and will be serious contenders next season."

Steve Norris, the Club's chairman ("Mr Wolverine" as he is affectionately known), concluded: "This 1st season back in the BAFL was always going to be tough. We have had some big wins but we have also had some tough losses. In the second half today we played true Wolverine Football and I could not be prouder of the TEAM! We now have an amazing platform to build on for next season."

The Wolverines Senior Team would like to take this opportunity to thank their Game Ball sponsor, Perfect 10s (www.perfect10s.co.uk) for their support throughout the 2007 season.
