“It was a shootout between two High Elven teams. Grand Design recieved the ball and decided to ground and pound in the beginning. They ate up half of the first as they slowly rolled up the field. At least four Justicia players were in the Knockout Box when Coach Nathaniel finally gave the signal for the rookie, Thranduil to score. Justicia then set to recieve and they score quickly with a beautiful Guido pass that flew safely over Kensai's head. GD once again recieved and they wanted to prove they could score just as fast. Thranduil stepped back to retrieve the ball and threw a short pass that ended up in the hands of Aravan for a lightning quick TD. With one turn left in the first, Coach Ibambe called for the one turner. Alimo got the ball and with a quick snap and one assisted push he was able to get free to tie the game 2-2.

The last score put GD in a bad situation as Justicia was set to recieve in the second. However, Justicia was now undermanned with nine players as Elbereth had been like a wrecking ball throughout the game. Ever since Sentalis's death he's been on a killing spree. Alimo once again tried to setup for a pass but this time, the Black Prince, was waiting for him and drove him into the mud with a brutal shoulder smash badly hurting him. The crowd gasped at the impact and Coach Ibambe was worried for his star catcher. With GD playing so well, Justicia showed alot of heart and with a bold move, Hanseen found a hole in the defense and broke away for a desperation run. Elbereth once again was assigned to take him out but he was tripped up by Seth as he was trying to dodge away. The Justicia Coach was amazed that his play worked and now his team had the lead.

The pressure was now back on GD and Coach Nathaniel. They call for a hurry up and score quickly. The Wishmaster told Coach Ibambe, "You know I'm going for the win right? It's all or nothing." As if on queue, it started to rain heavily. It put Justicia in a rough position as Seth was unable to handle the ball a couple times costing his team an opportunity to win or at the least keep the draw. Finally, Seth was able to get the ball and drew back deep into his backfield. Unfortunately, it wasn't deep enough as Elbereth was able to catch him and stun him with a right cross. Aravan then grabbed the ball and spiked it in the end zone. It was a hard fought game and both teams garnered each other's respect.

Good game, ibambe! It was a pleasant match, thanks. You handled my hot casualty dice like a gentleman. Rematch anytime, mate!
