2010 Atlantic Cup Final UL Vikings vs Lelystad Commanders

The Vikings came back from being 12-3 down at the start of the 4th quarter to win 19-18. Two fourth quarter touchdowns sealed the win. The tieing touchdown was scored with only 51 seconds remaining and from a drive which saw the Vikings convert a 4th and long curtosy of an option pass by a receiver. Adrian Garvey’s conversion kick proved to be the winning score.
