“Before the match, Saiko Surugi and Yuki Watanabe had a little fight, who should be the new team captain. Saiko Surugi said, with her experience of over 152 matches she would be a worthy and wise team captain, while Yuki Watanabe said, that she is the better player with a market worth of 258.000 gold pieces.
So both players regret to play together in this match (I´m the greatest-Handicap) and the coach decided, that Yuki should play in the first half, while Saiko will play in the 2nd half. Because of this girl fight, the Avengers couldn´t concentrate in the first half (Doom&Gloom-Handicap) and started pretty weak (and Yoshie Kawasa couldn´t play because of her niggling injury), so their agile linegirl Reiko Aoki even failed to catch a accurate pass at the start of the match and the Avengers were soon under pressure, especially when the new Linegirl Ayumi Kadena failed a dodge a few seconds later and the Chaos Warriors Troy McLure and Cletus could come near the ball, that were still lying around near the Avengers end-zone.
Reiko Aoki finally managed to pick up the ball after some time and some struggle against the 2 chaos warriors (the troll Moe Szyslak failed to stand up, because he is really stupid, so über-strong ST5 thrower Megumi Okeba could help Keiko and Reiko out), but Aiko Takahara had some serious problems to take the ball from her handover (had to use reroll), and when Catcher Suki Kawazaki tryed to blitz Bartholomew J Simpson, she failed (wanted to crowdpush this mb-tackle beastman, but rolled skull).
Fortunally, Reiko Aoki managed to defend the ball against Lionell Hutz (2 dice block with reroll and Reiko has no block skill, but had much luck there). Monsterthrower Megumi Okeba managed to bring Lionell Hutz down next round and so the way was free for Aiko Takahara to score, when Megumi, Ryoko, Ayumi and Reiko builded a save passage on the left side of the field and could stop the chaos warriors and beastman from blitzing her.
The Players of Springfield Unlimited became frustrated and angry, when they recognized, that they couldn´t prevent linegirl Aiko Takahara from scoring, so they knocked out Blitzer Chiyo Kadena, Linegirl Kiyoko Ohe and Catcher Suki Kawazaki. Kent Brockman also did foul star-blitzer Yuki Watanabe (she nearly had seriously injuried beastman Clancy Wiggum (Fractured Skull, AV-), but he could be saved by the apo), but the referee spotted this foul and disqualified him immediatly.
After Aiko Takahara scored, the Chaosteam was pretty pissed off. They had some time left to score too and did a massacre at the line of scrimage after the referee blow his whistle. They seriously injuried the new Linegirl Hoshi Haruko (MA-, no apo used) and their Chaos Warrior Jimbo Jones nearly killed the scorer of the first touchdown, linegirl Aiko Takahara (apo saved her). Lionel Hutz soon received the ball and it didn´t look good for the avengers, but with some incredible dodging action, stand firm blitzer Ryoko Nakata showed some skills, danced around the troll Moe Szylak and could help Megumi Okeba to bring down this ST4-AG5-beastman Lionel Hutz and get the ball. Finally Catcher Kazumi could stop the beastman Chief Clancy Wiggum with a diving tackle and destroy the dreams of those chaos to score in the first half.

In 2nd half, linegirl Saiko Surugi played and Blitzer Yuki Watanabe stayed out, Chiyo Kadena was still knocked out and linegirl Hoshi Haruko seriously injuried, so the avengers was down to 10 players. The Fans of the Avengers still was mad about Jimbo Jones, who nearly had killed Aiko Takahara, so they threw a stone at Jimbo Jones, but he was just stunned. Professor John Frink received the ball, Sideshow Bob knocked out Reiko Aoki and Charles Montgomery Burns badly hurt scorer Aiko Takahara, so the avengers were down to 8 players soon. And as if this wouldn´t have been enough, Fat Tony killed new linegirl Ayumi Kadena. This was enough and Saiko Surugi, who was allready really pissed after the fight with Yuki Watanabe, screamed a loud war cry and killed Chaos Warrior Jimbo Jones just a few seconds later. But that couldn´t stop the Chaos from scoring the 1-1.
The Avengers could just put 7 players on the field (14 player -3 unapothed CS, -2 k.o., 1 was missing because of a niggling injury, 1 was missing because of I´m the Greatest Handicap = 7), but they still faced 11 opponents. Things didn´t get easier, when a few seconds after thrower Keiko Kabushi could pick up the ball, catcher Kazumi Yoshinore got knocked out too and a few seconds later linegirl Kyoko Ohe saw stars (5 players left). While thrower Keiko Kabushi hold the ball in the back of the field and didn´t know where to pass, the Blitzers Ryoko Nakata and Yuki Watanabe, Thrower/Blocker Megumi Okeba and catcher Suki Kawazaki were surrounded by 3 chaos warriors a troll and 6 beastmen.
But then, the troll Moe Szyslak made a mistake and lost a fight against Megumi Okeba (he rolled double skulls on a block against her), what left a hole open. Keiko Kabushi could throw the ball to Ryoko Nakata and she broke through and run away with the ball, scoring the 2-1 end result close to the end (7th turn).

To sum it up, it was a hell of a match!
