National League Power Rankings
1. Manchester Titans
Manchester’s 60-0 decimation of the former Premiership Leicester Falcons (who were at number two in our Power Rankings last week) force themselves above the Farnham Knights, who are yet to play a game. It was an impressive result, that’s for sure but there is more to come from Manchester, after all they still have a couple of injured players to return including first string Tight End Jonathan Homer. The Titans must keep themselves grounded but with such a win comes dreams of an undefeated season. Who will stop them? Shropshire? Chester?
2. Farnham Knights
The Knights will play their first game of competitive football in over a year as they kick off against the Solent Thrashers this coming weekend. Can they reclaim the top spot of our Power Rankings, which has been taken from them before they’ve even thrown a ball in anger?

Falcons No Match For The Titans

The
Manchester Titans hosted the Leicester Falcons at Salford City Stadium for
their 2nd game of the season. Much as it had been the week before the rain was
falling hard and a strong wind was blowing down the pitch making passing
difficult.
The Falcons won the toss and deferred possession, choosing instead to start
with the wind at their backs.
Steve Spence returned the kick-off and the Titans started the game on their own 34 yard line.
Quickly establishing the run with back Nick Copley, they were soon in Falcons
territory and with the 6th play of the game quarter back Alan Mead found receiver Danny
Caballero from 12 yards out, who took a one handed catch in the end zone for
the games' first score. The point after attempt from Ric Pennington blew wide and the Titans
led 6-0.
