“The start of this game looked like a demonstration of "king of the hill" by both teams. There was a lot of shoving and pushing, but no one seemed to want to go and take down the enemy. The Blackstone Legion scored early, primarially by running around the World's Strongmen entirely. When play resumed following the kick, the Strongmen came ready for battle while the Legion seemed to still be playing kids games. The Strongmen mounted a solid drive down field and scored as time ran out.

When the teams returned after the half they both looked serious. The Legion's blocking had improved somewhat, and they were pressing the Strongmen fairly hard. However the Strongmen gritted their teeth, went out for blood, and got it. They reduced the Legion to five men on the pitch by the time they scored, once again as time ran out.”
