“man of the match: Guillame Juenes

The Dauphins were beaten in a brutal Grudge match. Both Ouebbe and Ecoss were seriously injured during the course of a bruising encounter. Monamie were dragged into an attritional blocking war against an opponent who gave them a lesson in breaking heads all night long. Coach Rockie admitted afterwards that this game had served as a wake-up call to his players after the strong performances of recent weeks.

The only highlight on a very bad evening for the Dauphins came when Juene's thunderous block sent Schlachtlehrling to the deck killing him outright and avenging the two casualties he had caused Monamie earlier in the match.

The Norsemens' touchdown came after their powerful blocking led Monamie's opening drive breaking down, their domination of the line told as they grinded the ball downfield to score a back-breaking TD.

In the second half Monamie showed better resistance but were still unable to force the crucial turnover, as the Norse's extra experience and professionalism were in evidence.”
