“The short-handed Spiders lucked out with a Get the Ref on the opening kickoff, allowing them to seriously injure both blitzers and pull off an opening score.

Les Gaulois replied well in the second half, with an 8-turn super-slo-mo cage... the pesky elves darted in for the occasional knockdown, but couldn't stop the advance. A last-ditch attempt to knock over the carrier by fan favorite Schreckengost failed, and a nice maneuver to open a path saw the score tied.

Well played, Criket.... sorry about all the injuries. :)”
