“The Bonds were in violent form as usual. Possibly missing the suave Piersch Broshnan (gouged eye in a pre-season 'friendly' and malingering for a whole season as a result) they were raging and fouling and spending too much time throwing the ball.

With rocks being flung, players surfed into the crowd and everyone getting in the party mood, it's surprising there weren't more injuries. Reap Harvest seriously concussed himself blocking a piece of linetrash, and then Timothy Daaaalton very unsportingly tackled Nova Run, the Stripes nascent star skink, to smash his knee at the end of the match. A deserved 3-2 loss for the Bonds, with that lack of sportsmanship.”
