“Riders got their face kicked in the dirt badly in this game, as Drax and Bart were badly hurt early on and Trok got himself tossed by the ref on a marginal foul. The Riders looked like they were in for a world of hurt from this solidly coached undead squad.
Chet stumbled (again) this time steps away from the end zone, but Darmok scooped up the ball and ran his butt off to score the TD. The Riders were up 1-0 at halftime but badly outnumbered for the 2nd half.
In a freak play, Radius suffered a niggling injury as he was about to sprint in for the equalizer leaving the ball on the goal line. Tibia recovered and tied up the match.
With 4 turns to go, the Riders were hoping to escape with a draw, but the Riders fans were not to be denied!! They invaded the pitch stunning multiple Meatpups. Darmok heaved the ball over the halfway line and Lars recovered, sprinting away only to stumble. It seemed a draw was certain as only Phin Finishem was in technical scoring distance and the Trollslayer had never scored a TD, ever. But Lars made a perfect pass and the ball sailed right into Phin's arms. All prone Riders players got to their feet to watch Phin race to the end zone. SCORE!! The Riders had escaped with a 2-1 victory.
The Riders learned some important lessons. 1) NEVER say die, the fans will appreciate you for it. 2) Use all available players even if it's not their primary role.”
