“Tough group of Women that drove the heavily favored Riders to distraction. Quite literally, as Chet slipped while looking sidelong at a Woman and hurt his knee. It was up to Hal, but he too fell victim to a knockout. Mord somehow got the ball, but the Riders drive fizzled when he insisted on guarding himself. 0-0 at halftime.

Fans were clearly annoyed at lack of scoring and invaded the pitch on the next kickoff, punishing the Riders severely and opening a hole in the Riders backfield. But Suzutu missthru, landing the ball near multiple Riders. The Riders exchanged blows with the Women for several plays, and were finally beginning to gain the advantage through sheer muscle, when Ginka landed a perfect knuckleduster-powered shot on the star Riders trollslayer Phin that left him apparently dead. Luckily the apo was able to save him and the Riders continued to inflict punishment.

Showing tremendous spirit, the Women dug deep and at the very end of the half, broke loose to have the ball downfield near a waiting Catcher, almost leading to a spectacular TD and earning the Riders respect.”
