Sunday 14 April, 1998
Final Score : Claymores 3 - 26 Admirals
An utterly disgraceful performance by all aspects of the Claymores allowed the Ads a big win in the ArenA.
Surprisingly, the Claymores opened the scoring on Gary Parker's 22 yard field goal. The Ads then replied with 26 unanswered points.
A 20 yard pass from Kurt Warner to Todd Doxzon and a 1 yard Malcolm Thomas run gave the Ads a 14-3 halftime lead.
In the third, Jason Shelly caught a 5 yard touchdown pass from Kurt Warner but the kick failed extending the lead to 20-3.
Two Silvio Diliberto field goals from 30 and 19 yards gave the Admirals their final points and Coach Al Luginbill the win.
This is possibly one of the worst offensive displays ever by a Claymores side.
