East Kilbride Pirates v Cambridgeshire Cats: #13 Neil Batpie hopes it's 13th year lucky in British final

dailyrecord.co.uk

East Kilbride Pirates’ number 13 is hoping the stars align to deliver the British Division One title in his 13th year with the club.

Quarterback Neil Baptie has led the Pirates to Sunday’s Britbowl final against Cambridgeshire Cats and victory in London would cap quite a turnaround in fortunes for the team in recent years.

You have to go back to 2011 for the last time the Pirates tasted success in a British final, a stage when Baptie was playing understudy to Ryan Hunter on the roster.

Fast-forward 11 years and Baptie has already emulated Hunter by winning the Conference title this season, but he hopes to add to that by claiming the club’s second British title this weekend.
