Teams: Robbie, Patrick, Peter, Neil and Tommy vs. Maciej, Jacob, Matthew S., Ezra, and Jordan T.
Score: a 10-7 scoreline in favor of Mac's purps.
Game Rating (out of 10): 11 - It was the best game of football ever. It was also the closest game thing that the FFL can ever get to the real thing. Tackles, bruises, diving catches. It had it all.
Notable absentees: Jordan D., James, Josh, Taylor, Dylan.
Offensive Player of the Game: Ezra - Put up the scores when it counted.
Defensive Player of the Game: Jordan T. - 2 backbreaking INTs.
Special Teams Player of the Game: Ezra - Ran it up with a surefire grace.
Pitch and Weather: With Fareena taken by goons, the FFL relocated to the backup field, AKA Dogshit park. However, with the snow freshly fallen on the soccer portion of the field, the game was incredible in every aspect. Ice was visible and it made for falls, but nothing close to what was the game before.
Summary: The best game ever, period. It was not only enjoyable for the players, but it had it all. Flag football rules were in full effect, with tackles, ball fumbles, mishandled snaps, great diving catches, numerous INTs, line audibles, injuries and ripped pants and coats making up the plays. Every player had a good game, which lasted in itself almost 2 hours. The game ended on Pat's 4th score of the game, with Maciej successfully ripping the remnants of his slush pants with a diving stretch.
Bogus Moment of the Day - Sorauren Field - who would've guessed? Might be the new winter ground for the FFL.
Player Ratings (out of 10, 4 being the lowest):
Robbie - 7; Good, but the 4 interceptions he threw effectively cost his team the game in the end.
Maciej - 9; Dominated out of the shotgun, and on defence, where he limited the elusive Pat.
Patrick - 9; Kept up his scoring dominance, but was destroyed mercilessly on defence by Matt.
Neil - 7; Struggled under the new flag football rules for the most part. Still gave it his all.
Peter - 8; Good, but not great. Struggled, partially due to a lack of solid blocking.
Tommy - 7; Some good plays, including a great diving catch and a running HOT on Jacob.
Jacob - 7.5; Struggled early on with an injury, but really came on defensively near the end.
Ezra - 9.5; Pretty much owns the snow and ice domain. Incredible jukes and talent on display.
Jordan T. - 8.5; Great in stretches, as per usual. No one has an answer for him on offense.
Matthew S - 8; Worked hard all game long. Didn't do a thing wrong, and played a safe, but good, game.
