Norwich Devils 30-07 Bournemouth BobcatsNorwich Devils 30-07 Bournemouth BobcatsThere were no game pausing injuries in the first half of Norwich Devils 30-07 Bournemouth Bobcats Sunday but in the third quarter the Bobcats' QB left injured not to return and the roster we had did not show any backup QBs.  Lots of forward passing and we particularly enjoyed Devil London Burrell's leaping td reception right at the back of the end zone.  The Devils now advance to play the Hertfordshire Cheetahs away next Sunday.
