“"Rookie coach with mature team takes on Mature coach with rookie team - Who Will Win?" was the message in all the newspapers in the lead up to this game. The Cheesecakes had shown their fighting spirit over several seasons, while the Mighty Men have shown a flair and talent in their brief appearances.

The Mighty Men won the toss and chose to receive - a gamble against the bashy Amazons, but it worked. The Cheesecakes blocked the elves frantically and caused a fair amount of damage to the MM's uniforms, yet the elves held on valiantly until half time.

The second half started with a typical elvish receive and score. Coach Artaxerxes did well to hold his chargers back to only score in the 4th turn, giving the Cheesecakes limited opportunity to reply. A Blitz on kickoff with Prince Moranion rushing in behind the Cheesecakes LOS was a major play. The Amazons rallied but time escaped them before the could use their superior numbers to score.”
