“"Aaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhh!" Chaucer could be heard top scream from the bench as club captain and star runner Melibee failed to score at the death. Even now, some 2 hours after the final whistle he sits, a dejected man, head in hands wondering what might have been.

An excellent game if misfortune and poor blocking from both teams meant the turns were continually blown wide open as neither side positioned players very defensively. Out muscled in the first half after an horrific through from new quarterback Cook, the Lizards snuck in and drove the ball home. Time went against the Tails and before they knew it they were kicking off the second half.

Penetrating the defensive line they scored through some excellent running and dodging by Melibee but when it came to the crunch he got his pacing all wrong. Finishing turn 8 on the endzone line after 2 GFI's left the fans whom travelled from Canterbury booing as their players left the field. Another poor show from the team left the fans dispondent and the coach wondering what to do next!”
