“The Timeless Generals were considered the favorites going into the match against the lizards. However, the Generals were beat up some as well. Only 1 mummy and 12 players total...they were ripe for the upset. The Lizards trained extra hard and resorted to some illegal drugs before the game and then proceeded to bash away at the skellies, zombies and ghouls as they drove down the field with their ST 3 skink. A dodging blitz brought down the skink, but the Generals could not recover the ball and by the mid-point of the first half, it was 1-0 Lizards and the crowd was buzzing. However, the Generals recovered and it on turn 7 of the first half, the game changed. A 1d block by a zombie badly hurt a Sauras. Then McClellan moved in and kicked the ST 3 skink that was on the ground for another badly hurt. To finish it off, a skeleton knocked out another skink...at the end of the first half with a gfi the Generals scored to tie the game.

The second half started with the Lizards now badly outnumbered and it got worse as the rest of the skinks were sent off the field - mostly into the BH box. Near the end of the game a bad kick allowed a Sauras to take the ball (no skinks left) and bull its way into the endzone to close the scoring at 3-2.

Good, tough game by the NBL Lizards who were undermanned, but fought hard and did not suffer any perm. injuries either.

A sidenote for the Timeless Generals: their prize blitzer (Sun Tzu) became a star player and gained some extra muscle from his workouts, but also is now suffering from a niggling injury.”
