Redditch Arrows remained top of their American Football table with a stunning display against Coventry Jaguars.

The Division Two South Western Conference leaders overcame a spirited Coventry Jaguars side 26-7 on Sunday to remain top.

The Arrows, who went into the game with a one win and one tie record, soon took control and a fine drive culminated in Arrows quarter back Dave Stanton hooking up with Stuart McNeil on a 16 yard reception for an early 7-0 lead.

The Jaguars however started to move the ball themselves, but fortunately the Arrows defence seemed to step up a gear whenever Coventry looked dangerous.

The Ash Lane tenants extended their lead in the second quarter when Dave Mills went in from 5 yards to open up a commanding 13-0 lead.

But just as it looked as the Arrows would go into the break without conceding, disaster struck.

Quarter back Stanton was forced to scramble a pass which dropped into the hands of a Coventry defender who returned it 50 yards for a score cutting the Arrows half time lead to13-7.

The Arrows regrouped after the break and took the game by the scruff of the neck.

Dave Mills went in for his second score of the game after a jinking 18 yard run.

This was followed by Anthony Perkins sweeping around the left side of the line for a 32 yard rushing score and a 26-7 lead.

The fourth quarter saw both teams slowing down as the heat began to tell.

Arrows team manager Chris Halford said: "This was probably our best performance of the season.

"Our offense showed in the second half that it can consistently move the ball and that in Mills and Perkins they have two running backs who can exploit any hole in an opponents defence.

"We also saw the first shutout the season from our defence who are improving with every game."

The Arrows next game is on Sunday when they make the long trip to Plymouth to take on the Admirals.
