Caroburg Chargers vs Gryphon Bloodsox 2-2
This was to prove a blockbuster of an encounter between 2 evenly matched sides. The game began with the Chargers struggling to make much of an impact as the Bloodsox quickly gathered the ball up and pushed for an opening down the right. Despite forming a cage the Chargers managed to fight their way through to the ball carrier, but one unfortunate roll later and the Bloodsox burst free for a quick score.
From the re-start the Chargers suddenly sprung into gear. A surprising defensive set up from the Bloodsox left them open on the flanks which was quickly exploited for a quick pass and score. The second half started much the same with the Chargers once again creating and exploiting space to return to their throwing combo for a 2-1 lead.
In reply the Bloodsox came back off the ropes, deftly moving the ball to the right before swinging it left. The Chargers scrambled in defense,trying to cover the gaps before an unfortunate last ditch attempt to knock the ball carrier over failed. The Bloodsox quickly got support in and eventually squeezed through the gap for a game tying score.
