“Starting with two handicaps (Virus (no effect) and Bad press) the brave Firnstayner Mandriden entered the arena where the ´Coasters were already waiting, still somewhat shaken by the last match that, although it was not lost, cost them dere both in terms of injuries and self confidence.

Right after the kickoff, however, all doubts disappeared. From the very beginning the Mandriden were playing outnumbered since two linemen got BH on the line of scrimmage during the initial offense turn of the ´Coasters. Shocked but far from paralysed the Mandriden closed their ranks again and despite poor luck blocking they managed to stall the drive that started so promisingly. In the end luck again was helping the ´Coasters to score midst of half 1. Luckily the Mandriden couldn´t manage to strike back in half 1. The more they did when entering the pitch for half 2: a pitch invasion flattened half of the ´Coasters defensive line! With 5 players down stunned the ´Coasters were no match for the viciously attacking Norse and soon the Mandriden scored the draw.

Still, while the ´Coasters were completely saved from injuries, the Mandriden paid further toll: When the ´Coasters started their final offense drive with 4 turns to go there were not more but 7 Norse left. Nuffle obviously realized and put some snakes and skulls on the ´Coasters´ path but these obstacles luckily could only delay the inevitable: 2:1 Coasters.

With two turns remaining the Mandriden did their best to reach the endzone a second time. Thanks to their numbers the ´Coasters finally could bring the Norse offense to a halt and won the game.

Lucky me: the decisive rolls worked out nicely. Could have easily gone the other way. BUT IT DIDN´T! :)”
