“Many fans turned up expecting this to be a bloodbath and an easy victory for the Chainsaw against a less experienced Red Wonz Go Fasta team. They were wrong on both accounts.

With the 'Saws receiving, the kick was bad and the ball given to Razor. Covered in textbook style by his team, he raced through to open with an early score. It looked like the writing on the wall for the Reds.

However they picked themselves up and came back at us with a gritty determination and, despite an organised Chainsaw defense keeping them out until half-time, it became obvious this would be no cakewalk. The main incident during this period was Blade slipping whilst trying to sprint with that extra yard of pace. Coach Chainsaw would later deny that playing Sta'nac with a cold had been a mistake, retorting, "Anybody could have slipped on that pool of mucus - it could have gone either way." Needless to say, fans were on the edge of their seats as Blade landed awkardly on his head and blood sprayed the surrounding players. There was a resounding chorus of boos when the team apothecary raced on to revive him.

Just as the second half started, the weather took a turn for the worse. The sun came out and shone brilliantly, with the clouds clearing to leave pure blue sky overhead. Sta'nac only agreed to take the field because Coach Chainsaw made the janitor put a mop on his head and pretend to be Shaman conjouring up some cloudcover. Needless to say, it convinced Stan to play on. With the scoreline at 1-0, and the weather getting increasingly nice, the pressure was on the 'Saws to rush the away side and steal the ball to increase their lead. Over eager, and underestimating the opposition, the defending was sloppy and the Reds slipped through for a quickfire touchdown, knocking out a couple of Chainsaw players on the way.

Used to much more cramped, wet, and dark conditions, the "lovely day" saw 2 Chainsaw players sit out the next play. Much depleted, they just could not overcome the Reds and the rest of the second half was a scrappy, crawling drive that never made enough of a dent in the away side's line to let the ball carrier run through.

Disappointed at a lack of violence, fans left the stadium in their droves before the game had finished. This was not one to remember.”
