Year 1 - Spring
Cathay Regional

The Young Dragons went into the game with exuberant optimism. They soon struggled with the pressure the first game that "counted" something put on them: A missed pickup and a foolish attempt to run out the clock led to them being down 0-1 after the first half - and kicking in the second!

The second half started with another mistake, a and a severe underestimation of Liu Shi's Boots of Speed. 0-2 against after only a few minutes! However, a quick touchdown by Dragon Monk Ngan Hong gave them hope. A very aggressive defensive setup, a pitch invasion by dozens of overly excited peasants and some difficulties on the Fu Chow side allowed them to equalize, only minutes before the final whistle.

The young players already cheered, content with the hard-fought tie, but then Crimson Tide pulled all levers and in a fantastic team effort managed to score one of the dreaded "One Turn Touchdowns", leaving their opponents speechless, as Liu Shi dodged through their lines. Under constant high-pitched shouting of coach Rabe they tried the same, but failed right after the first block.

Coach Rabe immediately called the players in for a detailed analysis of the first half's mistake, very unsatisfied with the outcome of the game.

A great opening game for the first Rest of the Word Regionals!”
