“The Bokonon boys somehow contrived to draw this game, despite putting a substantial portion of Turbo Boost in hospital, and controlling most of the game.

How? T8 - ball on the ground a couple of spaces from my endzone, guarded by three players. My inadequate throwers didn't want to risk picking the ball up in case they fumbled (which they had already done twice). No, it was far more important to try and get more of the rats off the pitch and onto stretchers, to make sure the second half went our way as well. The result. Skulls and one perky gutter runner somehow contriving to sneak in, pick the ball up and skip out without one of my guys getting a hand on him. 2-1 to the rats.

The second-half went as expected, with the outmanned Turbo Boost turning the ball over soon enough (they were receiving in the second-half), but some dogged defending and shameless running away slowed the game enough for me to have no chance to score the winner.

A fun game that ended in a surprise result considering Sparkini spent the first half calling ambulances and rolling skulls. He had cheered right up by the end, let me tell you. I demand a rematch! ”
