“Well... this was a surprise, and a humbling/humiliating one, at that!
Matched against a rookie team of what is widely considered the weakest in the Leeg, the Eshin cede 2 TD in the first half... while receiving and fully-rostered both drives!
Silly positioning errors in the first drive gave the Fairies a 1-die strip-ball blitz, followed by a good bounce the next turn, leading to a pick-up and TD. But the game really was decided on turn 5, where, with no RR to spare, a longshot double GFI and a 1-die Blitz on the Assassin gave up a POW and stunned the bugger into submission.
coach WildGronx played a good game, and the Eshin should have been more conservative.
