“A game of two halves...with all the injuries going against Hong Kong in the opening drive and against Dallas thereafter!

As noted, the opening drive of the Long Dongs was severely disrupted as Dwarf after Dwarf was knocked out of the action (including an apothecary saving a death)! Despite this, some good play from coach Relezite almost saw the touchdown scored, only to be stopped at the last desperate hurdle by the Reptiles.

Come the second half, the Reptiles found themselves down 9 players to 11 and receiving. Using their superior speed they dallied from flank to flank, looking for an opening to exploit. Eventually they found it down the left flank. Next, a game crash caused coach Relezite to lose a crucial Blitz on the right wing defense. This proved vital as Michael "Fork Tongue" Irvin was able to make use of the lapse and sprint in for the opening score!

Following this, the Reptiles were down 8 players to 11- and that 8 soon began to diminish as "order" was restored by the Long Dongs on their second drive! The Long Dongs comfortably managed to score at the close of play for a 1-1 tie.

Overall, with the extremes of fortune flying around, this game could have ended up anywhere- but perhaps the draw was a fair result for the efforts put in by both sets of players.”
