In an extrordinary match HoM grasped victory from the jaws of defeat with a winning touchdown in the last turn of overtime. From a goal down and labouring under a cloud of doom and gloom the Lothians managed a Herculean effort to progress through to the semi-final.
The Norse men are undoubtedly tough tacklers who are not easy to put down. However the lack of vitamin C in their diets (lack of sunshine reaching their nether regions) means their bones are brittle and once they do go down, they stay down. Two players badly hurt and two seriously injured left the Crusaders severely depleted in the overtime period.
Creekmoor goes back to the drawing board. Hirse of Midlothian go on to the semis for what looks like a bruising encounter with a team of Nurgle's Rotters.
#1 Brian – Smashed Knee (NI) #1 Brian – Broken Ribs (MNG) #9 Gerry – Broken Ribs (MNG)
“Once again, what can I say? It is rather difficult to be competetive when you lose almost half of your team. It was a brave, gallant effort. To lose in the final turn of the extra period, having held on for so long against all odds, was predictably cruel!!!
How can Creekmoor ever hope to get that first win under such extradinary circumstances? ”
