“Hehe. It was a fun game indeed! The failed handoff in the first half cost me the score, and the girls on BCB were quick to take advantage. One down after my half; Things looked grim.
However, second half proved to be much more friendly to the Claws, who finally managed 1-1. There's just one thing: The pass I made in the last turn? It wasn't meant to go to the CW who eventually received it, it was actually a miss that scattered extremely luckily to give me the score.
A very fun game against a coach I'd like to have a rematch against. Good luck Cyrus-Havoc, and good luck. Next time mate, next time...

“So this was my 100th ranked game, it was also my 10th against Chaos so two awards.
I played with the same team who had played my first ranked game a year ago.
Having kicked off the early play favoured me with several knocked out results giving me number advantage. I was able to knock the ball free near the sideline then force it out of play that resulted in favourable throw in. There was then a slight wobble as the Book Club ball-handling let them down but Chaos were unable to take advantage and in turn seven Anna Sewell ran in the touchdown. Lucky I thought but as my opponent pointed out a good coach should be lucky!
So to the second half and with the Book Club receiving we were optimistic of a good result. A long kick combined with our inability to break through the Chaos line dictated a tactical rethink. The ball-carrying group stayed in the backfield moving first to the right then to the left running down the clock but not finding an opening. With numbers dwindling a final attempt was made to move the ball down the left but with uncanny similarity to the first half the ball was blitzed off the pitch to a position favourable to Chaos. Some good dodging from the ladies made the job more difficult and a failed pick up in turn 7 for Chaos looked to be the decider. But it was not. The ball was picked up and a go for it made the pass was got away then the catch was fumbled, game over! Not quite the ball scatters back to the Chaos Warrior who dropped it the first time but catches it now (what did you say earlier about good coaches and luck?) a simple trot to the end zone and it’s 1-1 in the last turn.
This was a very enjoyable tactical encounter against a friendly coach, that leaves Cyrus-Havoc with his highest ever coach rating. ”
