At one point the Marshall blocking back used the patented Marshall signature move; a forearm to the purple helmet of his opponent, “ringing the bell” of his adversary and cracking his helmet in such a way that it had to be replaced before the next play.

Berwick-upon-Tweed is border territory. As English and Scottish forces battled over this land, the town changed hands 13 times.
