“As soon as Luo entered the team dugout, he knew something was up. The team was gathered into two more or less equal groups, at opposite ends of the room. Glancing keenly at his key players, he narrowed the problem down to Tamalli and Xoxi, who were glaring at each other with cold menace in their reptilian eyes.

"Ok lads, what seems to be the problem then, 'ey?" Luo asked mock-jovially, eyes darting back and forth between the teams heavy hitters.

Xoxi ponderously swung his head to stare cooly at his Coach. A series of guttural growls barked from his throat, striking his clenched fist decisively into an open palm.

Luo raised a brow, and cast a slightly desperate glance over at his old #9, ohu`Atl, who rolled his eyes with a slightly wry grin, and hobbled over to Coach Luo's side.

"Seemsz the boysz isz fightin' ovah who getsz to be Capten of the team, Bossz," the diminutive lizardman lisped. "Lucky sez young Tamalli hasz had 'iz chancesz, and now it'sz time fer 'wiser headsz to prevail'"

Luo coughed nervously and looked over at Tamalli, who had vehemently made his opinion known, his crest almost trembling with indignity.

ohu chuckled. "Seemsz Hotztuff ovah there won't take the pitch if Xoxi isz out there, Boss."

"Oh? Is that so?" Luo's eyes narrowed into gleaming green slits as he carefully considered his current Captain. "I think that can be arranged..."

With the greatest handi messing up the Lizzies pre-game preparations, this looked to be another in a serious of bloody grudge matches against coach almic's (admittedly presently less brutal looking) Gargantuans.
Unfortunately for the hatted-ones, the Lizzies seemed to unite behind their temporary captain, putting up a hard-hitting, dynamic performance...

Twahnlows:

3pts - #5 Barugon: Worked hard for his team for little result, but his presence will keep the team solid for the future rebuild.

2 pts - #16 Anguirus: Despite the niggle, another lynchpin for the team to rebuild around. Blocked efficiently and effectively.

1 pts - #10 Jirass: Used his dodge to good effect.

Hard luck in this one mate. Well played though, and hopefully next we meet it'll be on more equal footing, and we can keep the grudge strong ;)
