Dublin Tornadoes improved to 4-3 and increased their slim playoff hopes with a 32-0 defeat of Bangor Buccaneers, while Carrickfergus Cougars remained in pursuit with a 33-12 victory at Coleraine Chieftains. The game of the week, however, was undoubtedly the match-up between two likely playoff teams, Belfast Blitzers (6-0 coming into the match) and Belfast Tennants Giants (5-1 before the game). While the Giants had the distinction of being the first team in 1987 to put points past Belfast Blitzers with kicker Raymond’s late field goal, the Blitzers juggernaut kept rolling with five running touchdowns (two each from Damien McHugh and Hayden Davis and one from Finn Lynch) and a passing TD from quarterback Alan McCandless to tight end John Smith. The final score read Belfast Blitzers 38 at Belfast Tennants Giants 3. [References: 12, 32]
