“Perhaps over confident following their previous two consecutive 3-1 victories over Lizards, the Malcontents opended the game with a play that had the head coach shaking his head in perplexion. That certainly wasn't what they had drawn up in the pre-game.

By the time Earl Avarice began his move to the ball, he realized there were two unmarked Saurus in blitz range, and no real target to throw the ball to. He panicked and threw the ball to an empty square.

The lizards, as they tend to do, were quick to capitalize on the mistake. The Norse recovered from their early jitters and made a strong play for the ball, but the Ghosts skink with Hail Mary Pass got there first and heaved the ball downfield, where another skink slunk to. The Malcontents tried to recover but couldn't prevent the score. The rest of the half the Ghosts were able to hold the Malcontents.

Second half started with the lizards using a bit of trickery, which nearly worked as the Norse overcommitted to a run up the right sideline, only to see the Hail Mary Pass be sent to the deep left corner. The defense proved solid though and the Malcontents were able to get the ball and advance up field into the Ghosts half. Once again those sneaky lizards managed to pop the ball out and Hail Mary down field. Again the Norse got the ball, but time expired as they attempted to work up a desperation play to tie the game.

A good well played game. This coach is impressed with the Hail Mary skill on a skink, and despite numerous attempts to take that annoying skink from the game (including a successful apo roll by the Ghosts), they just couldn't get rid of him.”
