“Odd match this. First half was ridiculously one-sided as all but 4 of the Happy Rats ended up in the KO box before the opening score. By early in the second half 2 BH's meant the rats were a player light, and utterly outmuscled. Scored the first tie early in the second half but it lasted only briefly as the orcs ran in a facile second TD, though forced to score faster than ideal.

The second tie came in T7, and it looked to be the game until a Blitz at the kickoff allowed Sleep through and whilst the Gutter Runner failed to catch the ball his presense meant the Rats could capitalise when the Orc chukka failed to secure the ball.

So a hattrick for Sleep and a highly improbable result which flattered the Ratts. It could have been so, so different.

Good game, VonCarsten; Nuffle cursed you at the death.”
