EASTLEIGH MP KICKS OFF AMERICAN FOOTBALL GAME
February 10, 2009 11:45 AM
Eastleigh MP Chris Huhne, pictured here, was a guest of the Southampton Stags - the American football team - as they played Surrey Stingers at the Eastleigh Wide Lane ground.
Chris threw the coin to decide options at the start of the match, with the Stags winning the toss. After a slow start, the Stags asserted their dominance winning 40 to 0.
Chris said: "I enjoyed watching the match even though for a football supporter like me, all the stopping and starting takes a bit of getting used to. It is great to have a good American Football team in the area as well as rugby and football teams.
"American football is a step closer to all-out physical war than rugby league, as you are allowed to push and tackle opponents even if they don't have the ball. This is definitely not a game for the faint-hearted!"
