“The Princes had not played for a while and this could be seen by their lack of finesse. Robert Darklingtning managed to demonstatre this by trying to dodge out the way to support his team mates but slipped and gave himself serious concussion.

Kieth Lemon was taken straight off first turn but other than that the Jokers stood up to the blocking well. The same could not be said for the princes, who did well in the first half but started to be carted off the pitch second half.

The first half ended with a touchdown a pice after a bit of mauling and some messy play. The second half could almost be described as orc like by slowly moving up the pitch and bashing. In the dying moments of the game Bill Bailey, the thrower, could not be bothered to throw the ball so just ran it in instead. Asked about his winning try he said "Do not crush the flowers of wisdom with the hobnail boots of cynicism."”
