“A surprise match catching the Fossils a little off-guard due to scheduling confusion. But in the end an enjoyable first match between these Coaches (for the winner anyway). First game for coach ArtaXerxes to hire Silibili, and it seemed a worthwhile investment.

Things started falling the Fossils way right from the start with kicking and then Blitzing the SnF to catch their own kick. The score was 1-0 before the SnF had realised the season had started rather than preseason practice. The SnF received the 2nd kick-off with much more control, and produced a steady caging rush into the Fossils half until Star Blitzer Vrool crunched Marberry allowing a quick running reply for 2-0 at half time.

The 2nd half produced a quick 3rd TD for the Fossils from a typical running game. It was then that the SnF really kicked in to grind out their TD in typical fashion aided with some goblin sneakiness.

Twahnlow votes:
3 - #7 Hardaway - Key blitzes removing 2 key players from the field.
2 - #8 Horry - Stepped up to the ball handling responsibilities (with mixed success) when Marberry was taking a rest.
1 - #16 Bogues - good work picking up the ball in TZ and long rush to score”
