Report

Old Glory DC host the NOLA Gold on a Tuesday night at George Mason Stadium inside GMU for the first of two Eastern Conference games that the Flags play in Round 14.

They will travel to face Anthem RC in Charlotte at the weekend. These sides are separated by a single point in the Eastern Conference, and both will be looking to move closer to securing a playoff spot with a win in this one. Old Glory DC are coming off a great victory over the Utah Warriors at home, and are looking to build on that momentum. The NOLA Gold are on a short turnaround from a close defeat to the Miami Sharks just 4 days ago, and are desperate to get some points from ‘Storm Week’.

These Eastern Conference rivals have met 10 times in the past, with the Gold holding a dominant 8-1-2 lead in the head to head series. Old Glory DC clawed one back here, however, with a comfortable 27-14 victory in miserable conditions. The Flags jump closer to securing a playoff spot, while the NOLA Gold’s disappointing season continues. Having scored 0 table points in this game, the Gold can no longer finish 1st in the East and therefore the New England Free Jacks become the first team to clinch a playoff spot in 2025. The Gold are not out of the running, but they will need to string some solid results together in their remaining games.
