Reserve Gold made an attempt at a come-back when they made an interception at the end of the second, giving them an offense advantage at the start of the third quarter. But neither team scored during the third.
In the fourth quarter the Ironmen owned the field, scoring their second touchdown of the game, raising the score to 14-3. They missed the field goal kick but held the Gold offense for the remainder of the game.
The first unofficial game of the season scheduled at 5 p.m. was cancelled due to a forfeit. Spring flag football games are every Tuesday night from 5 to 9 p.m.
