“Pre-game
With the new S.N.O.T. System for determining the outcome of games (more info available here) now being piloted, L.A.D.S. came flying out of the blocks to take an early 8 point lead by rostering in 4 lucky fans for the day.

At the coin toss, L.A.D.S. chose to kick and see how the Skulls Crocodiles wanted to try and claw back those scores.

Kick Off
L.A.D.S. 19-11 Temple of Skulls Crocodiles

At kick off three enthusiastic Snotlings dashed onto the pitch unseen by the referees, but the Rasetra immediately slapped two of them back into the dugout injured.

Unfortunately old bone hands couldn't gather up the ball and quickly a handful of Snotlings, Clart and the Cabalvision Sports Wagon were bearing down on the ball. After a little push and shove (and a few more broken Snots), Pap emerged with the pigskin and shot off towards the endzone loosely shielded by the few remaining lil' guys.

The Officials took on board the reasoned argument that the game would be more fun if they refrained from banning the Cabalvision Sports Wagon after the score. The restart again took a familiar pattern, until one of the Crocodiles throwers emerged with the ball and attempted a pass downfield to a waiting skeleton.

In a moment of pure inspiration, Bom leapt in the air, snaffled the interception, and charged upfield. Sadly for him, the Crocs has just enough cover in defence to take him down before the halftime whistle.

Half Time
L.A.D.S. 20-11 Temple of Skulls Crocodiles

At Halftime again the Officials failed to act upon the Cabalvision Sport Wagon so L.A.D.S., despite many losses, were able to field 11 at the restart. Buoyed by the presence of both Pump Wagons and Trolls on the field together, L.A.D.S. started hitting back. Taking out 5 of the Temple (including a bold act of self-immolation to take out the Kroq-Ra) early in the half gave a lot of breathing space.

The rest of the half was scrappy with the only notable event being a brave stomp by Kaiden Senwen (probably not his real name having just joined for the day) removing a boney thrower. Sadly it wasn't quite enough for him to be able to go home to his family(?) and regale them with a tale of his casualty though.

For the remainder of the half L.A.D.S. did just enough to keep the ball out of skeletal hands and held out for the victory.
