Good evening and welcome to the Late Sports News here at Light City Studios (tm). We will be bringing you the latest news from the Bungee Jumping Contest where Samuel Johnson broke his own personal record of seven jumps on the same rope before it broke. Stay with us to see how (bloody) that ended.

But first, the Armadillos faced off against the East Anglian Farmers, a match they really needed to win. The Farmers won a lucky victory the last time the two met, and the Armadillos were determined not to let that happen again.

Being the visitors, the Armadillos got to recieve first. It was clear from the very first minute that they were playing for keeps down there. Not but a few minutes had passed before "Hail Mary" made a pass almost from the middle of the field to "Stealth" who had left both Ulohas and Acalind behind. A fast one-nil to the Armadillos.

But the Farmers meant business aswell. After recieving, the Armadillos did have a small chance to capture the ball, but Geril managed to escape "the Executioner" and make a pass to Acalind, who ran to score. one-one, and not even half of the first half had passed.

With that, the Armadillos changed their pace. Seeing that the Farmers were able to keep up with them, they deliberately moved slowly, trying to take advantage of their pre-prepaired setups. It proved a difficult task. The Farmers were aggresive in their attempts at the ball, and there was never a silent moment for "Longbomb" who had the ball.

A rather daring play down the side by the Armadillos saw the ball in the hands of "Precision", and even though he didn't have all the covor he'd like, it was a succesful play. With not enough time to score again, the Armadillos blocked around "Precision", making sure the Farmers didn't have time to score either. two-one at half time.

Now we don't know exactly what the coach said to the Armadillo players in the halftime, but they sure were full of energy when they returned. Before the ball even hit the ground they were on the Farmers fighting for it. "Lightning" was very close to getting it too, but with all the haste of the rush, he wasn't able to keep a hold on it. Instead Geril got the ball, and after a few passes, it ended up in the hands of Oneim; halfway down the Armadillo half of the field.

With the rush of players forward, there wasn't many left to go for Oneim. It was left to "Fury" to take him down, but even he wasn't fast enough for the nimble Farmer catcher. two-two.

And then it was the Farmers turn to rush. It was as if they copied all the Armadillos did this match. But who can blame them, as good as they played. The ball was caught by Ocudon, the slow but strong center fielder. But it wasn't enough to discourage the Armadillos.

Through sheer teamplay "Longbomb", with help from "the Executioner" and "Featherweight", brought down Ocudon. "Stealth then rushed in, got the ball, and passed it to the center to "Lightning".

The Farmers went for "Lightning" instantly, but they fell directly into the Armadillo trap. A quick one-two feint by the Armadillo players. Handoff from "Lightning" to "Hail Mary", Pass from "Hail Mary" back to "Stealth", who had meanwhile run up field, and the Farmers were left wondering where the ball went.

By the time they discovered their mistake, "Stealth" was halfway to the endzone, and the desperate block Heralath threw at him wasn't even enough to slow him down. "Stealth" dodge around the Farmer players blocking the way, scoring to three-two with one quarter left of the match.

The Farmers made a slow move up field. Clearly this wasn't their force, for the Armadillos were easily able to make a hole for "Lightning" to break through to block Ulohos, who had the ball. Unfortunately he wasn't able to secure the ball. Seeing how badly their new tactics went, the Farmers quickly picked up the ball and made a pass to Oneim, who, even though preassured heavily by "the Preacher", caught the ball and ran for the touchdown. three-three, with only a few minutes to go.

The Armadillos knew there was no way the Farmers could score, so they charged toward the endzone. Five Armadillo players were halfway down the Farmers side of the field before the Farmer players could react. A meager defence was set up, but it was no match for the Armadillos tactics. A hole was made by "the Executioner" for "Fury" to run through, but believe it if you will, he failed to catch the pass from "Longbomb".

Once again the Armadillos fail to score in the last minute of a match, it's becoming a curse of sorts for them.

And so the match ended three-three. A match the Armadillos should've won, but still, they can't be unhappy with the draw, the Farmers did play very well. We here at Light City Studios (tm) just hope they won't fall for the preassure next time, and score that last minut touchdown for the victory.

Today at Light City Olympic Stadium (tm), Local Bungee Jump star, Samuel Johnson broke his pers....
