“Having only four Rats capable of taking the field left the League of Crows licking their wounds as Burt's Fellows equalised for the second time. The tricksy Crows found the game punishing and brutal but managed to hold on for the draw. Had the game went on any longer defeat would have been inevitable.

Sideways and the Escapist both proved elusive and ran in easy TD's but the raw power of Burt's undoubtedly fueled by Warpade took its toll where numbers were concerned. Outratted on the pitch a comeback was inevitable, it became simply a matter of hanging on for the draw and not taking too many hits.

A crippling injury to Sideways' paw means he will never be the same player again, having to rely on experience rather than his fleet footedness and agility.

On the plus side, Burt's Fellows have since retired, testimony to the Crows skill. Perhaps in time they will become a great side? Perhaps they need to drink more Warpade???”
