For the 5th time DR faced DD and for the 5th time they took home a safe victory. The one TD difference was reduced to this at the very end of the match from 3-1.
But where the first four meetings had given 11-11 in casualty score it was nil vs. six this match. Although DR only lost one player, four others where SI and will miss next match…
The two teams where to begin with almost equal in value, but Helmut Wolff joined DD with his chain saw. But he was not on the pitch until late 2nd half when the match was already won by DR. A single KO before he was stunned was all he could do.
DR kicked, and already in their first blitz did Holy Spirit strip the ball from Kress von Kressenstein. Jesus failed the easy pick-up but next turn he ran away with it and scored the turn after for 1-0.
Then DD began removing rats from the pitch. An early kill on Heimdal B by Ogre Carl Mar set the tone. Then Müller-Meier made the first of his three SI, this one on Tyr B and towards the end of the half Carl Mar made another cas, the only BH of the game on Thor D. The Ogre learned block from that.
The first attempt to go after catcher Kress von Kressenstein failed miserably for Holy Spirit and then Jesus was KOed. At the end of the half only two rats was standing with no chance of reaching the catcher with the ball, the other four where stunned, and then Kress von Kressenstein scored for 1-1.
But Jesus came back in and DR could field 10 players for the last turn. And that was enough. God caught the kick, handed it to Jesus who was pushed one step ahead and effortlessly ran for the TD for 2-1.
2nd half started with a pitch invasion taking 3 rats and 4 humans down. But although it was the centre defence of DD that went down, it was also both Jesus and Holy Spirit who where stunned on DR. So the ball was kept safe deep by Buddha with God as back-up. Only The Mother was in scoring reach.
She was hunted and it took some turn before DR was in position to score. Before this happened Müller-Meier had claimed his second victim by SI strong Poseidon and Ingolf von Bavaria had fouled The Mother MNG too. That was after Hans von Kluck had finally been spotted after say 5-7 fouls…
But then Jesus was ready to leap over a human and dodge away for the winning TD for 3-1.
Only 8 rats where ready for the next drive and it was possible for DD to score twice for a tie. But while protecting the three GodRunners DR still managed to stall DD a turn, by taking only TD threat, troels nielsen, down. Thus when he later troels nielsen scored for 3-2 there where only one turn left. But before this Müller-Meier had also SI Balder C.
Nothing happened in the last turn except that Buddha made a last turn completion which marked his 50th completion for DR.
