“A close quarter final tour game. My St4 blodging lineman didnt niggle out this match (unlike the first 2 games in this tournament). However his contribution was very limited consisting as it did of one block then getting badly hurt. i used the apothecary but he was immediately fouled to the KO box where he was laid up for the rest of the game.

Apart from this I did have a fair bit of luck though. Never more so than when towards the end of the game with the score at 1-1 Nestroroide's Gutter Runner rolled a double 1 screwing up his touchdown and allowing me in to win the game 2-1.

Nestoroide was a fantastic sport all game never complaining when the luck went against him - which it did very badly on more than one occasion.

Thanks for the game coach - look forward to playing you again soon.”
