“Ah, my old nemesis WardenRoake. The first half was scrappy, but in a maul on my side of halfway I was able to take down the thrower before running the rest of the field for a last-turn TD.

The second half saw some more bloody tit-for-tat by both sides, with half the Amazons KO'd at one point, until they really started to hit home with some injuries. Several fumbles close to the 'zon end zone, several quick turnovers by both sides, and finally a long bomb to clear the ball away, followed by some dodgy GFIs and dodging saw the equaliser in the dying seconds of the game.

Great game, my old chum Roake. I'm looking forward to Raul's revenge.”
