“Heavy rains soaked the field, the ball, everything during this match. In the first half, one of the opposing Treemen failed to show, and things were looking up for Eleventeen. Despite the dodgy little buggers tendancy to get in the way, successful blocks knocked a few holes open. The slippery ball proved to be too much for Eleventeen in the first half, and every drive was ended with a fumble or missed pass.

In the second half, the second treeman showed up and things got ugly. No longer could we knock them about, the treemen held the center of the line. A treeman tossed one of the stunty buggers over the line, and he raced in for a score. Eleventeen were able to finally get the advantage late in the second half, and Thrum knotted the score with a little run.

With time ticking away, a draw appeared certain, but wait! A bad kick, touchback, another throw of the hobbit... and a touchdown! Ack! Insufficient time remained to equalise, and this one ended 2-1.

Eleventeen learned some lessons this day - and we must watch in the future for flying little guys.”
