🔥 OFFENSIVE MVP 🔥

What a day for QB Mike Naulty in our 38-8 victory over the Westmeath Minotaurs 👏

Mike led the offence brilliantly from start to finish, accounting for 5 touchdowns on the day 💥

🏈 2 rushing touchdowns on quarterback sneaks
🏈 Passing touchdowns to Lewis Lecky, Mike Mallon and Ishy Ahmad

Commanding the offence, making plays with both his arm and his legs, and keeping the chains moving all afternoon, #17 was at the heart of another big Vipers win 🐍

A massive performance from our quarterback as the Vipers move to 6-1 on the season.

🔥 DEFENSIVE MVP 🔥

A dominant display from Joshua Ferris in our 38-8 victory over the Westmeath Minotaurs 👏

Joshua was everywhere on defence, making life difficult for the Minotaurs offence from the opening snap. His physical play against the run helped shut down drives, while multiple pass breakups ensured there was no easy way through the Vipers defence 💥

A complete linebacker performance from #91 and a key reason the Vipers move to 6-1 on the season 🐍

🔥 SPECIAL TEAMS MVP 🔥

A huge performance from Harry Burgess in our 38-8 victory over the Westmeath Minotaurs 👏

Harry was flawless on the day, going 4-for-4 on PATs and repeatedly pinning the Minotaurs deep with booming kickoffs, including multiple kicks sailing out the back of the end zone 💥

As if that wasn't enough, #29 also delivered a huge hit on kickoff coverage to cap off an outstanding special teams display.

A massive contribution from Harry as the Vipers move to 6-1 on the season 🐍
