The saurapods from Axlotl overcame early game jitters and prevailed in a 3-1 victory over 
Oberwald and his ilk.    Word was that the Commissioner himself in a show of goodwill,  
turned over his coaching duties to recently retired Skink Tu inorder to make a display of Fair 
and Balanced sportsmanship out of Loco this  week.   The Commiss let it be known that he 
would  have a zero tolerance policy for any of the underhanded shenanagins that have been 
widespread thru out the league.  That Axlotl Loco would be a shining beacon of upstanding 
play for the rest of the season.  In an unrelated note, Lizard star Xtiki-xtiki did not suit for the 
game leaving the fans wondering where his highly popular throat cutting gesture was.


Loco received the kickoff.  Their drive was quickly stopped when Ps'Yx was launched into the 
crowd but what appeared to be an excercise Trampoline, carelessly left on the field by the 
Pre-Game entertainment, The Oberwald Dancers.   Oberwalders recovered the ball and 
went up 1-0.   The officials certainly were keeping a close eye n the procedings as two 
Human players were ejected early on, including their purported Assassin.  The lizards fought 
off a deep incursion by  Griff and ran the ball into the EZ to tie up the game with 2 turns left in 
the first half.  Griff was denied a chance to retake the lead when Upsiddahed intercepted a 
long bomb.  

The Humans were stifled early in the second as the Lizards Blitzed them on the kickoff, the 
ball scattered into their cage and they were able to recover it and score.   GOE's chances of 
victory ended as Griff actually tripped the Count on the ensuing kickoff.  Again  ball scattered 
close and was quickly surrounded by lizards.   Eventually  as time was winding down Loco 
was able to tack on a 3rd meaningless score.

Commentary from da Coach:  Unlike last week, this game was closer than the 
margin of victory.   Jake had two good cards Under Scrutiny and Trampoline 
Trap but it wasn't enough.   I had indifferent cards, Extra Training and the 
infamous Magic Hand which I actually got to use!   The Almighty Nuffle punished 
Jake for apothecarying a pogue lineman who was only Badly Hurt, as he lost a Blitzer soon 
thereafter.  Nuffle is merciful though, Griff had a couple of opportunities to meet his Maker 
and lived to tell the tale.  Perhaps Nuffle was just giving a warning.
