MATCH-UPS :

• Regardless that this wasn't a huge game for either player, 11kgm exposed Ash24's frailties. - 90m from 7 to 97.
• In what was a very slow day for both, Agent93 had iDon's measure. - 46m from 43 to 89.

Yay! Yay for us!

[Hate]

Cheers for the week and match, Baghdad Bombers! Best of luck for the remainder of the finals!

We came close, Hawks. Oh so close. Hopefully the league will readmit the team for Season 32 and we can have another crack at it!

Farewell, Season 31. You were good, until you were not.

[TheCoach16]

Well done on the week, Hawks. Good game. Unlucky today.
When our full forward has seven kicks for seven goals, it was always going to be tough for you.
Congratulations on the season. We’ll see you soon.

 

[Hate]

Cheers for posting philreich and bringing your bad juju.

 

[Chipmunk]

Cheers for posting philreich and bringing your bad juju.

Good point - we win more when FootyGuy13 does the sim

 

[por_please_ya]

Well FML I could have sealed the deal for us and my leg went the other way....



(I'm also disappointed in the woeful spelling of disappointed)

Congrats Bombers, may your finals series be as fruitful as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Thanks for the week!

Commiserations to my fellow Hawks and Hawkettes. Twas not to be... but I'm proud of what we achieved anyway. WE WILL REBUILD!

 

[VainGlorious]

Here we are lads.

D-Day.

Time to find out if we are made of the right stuff. It’s do or die.

When you run out onto that qooty field you should only have one objective.

To win.

Stand side by side with your comrades, give no quarter, show no mercy, this is what it’s all about, finals qootball.

I look around this change room and I see a team of champions in every corner, battle-hardened soldiers who are ready for combat, this is where we go from being a team of champions, to a champion team.

Camaraderie, Unity, Nobility, Tenacity, and Stoicism. The Baghdad motto.

Let’s make this a day to remember, my brothers, let’s show them who we are.

We got this.


miggs, mochacinolatte, Jabba73, Kilroy, Here2tellyouwhy,
RobR, iDon, Bovo, Requiem, VSTone, BLUEALLTHRU, Pugsley, Tony Lynn 15, TheCoach16, MITS, The Jesus, Judd_Magic, LicoriceAllsorts, SammaGilberto, Antonio BlueVein,
snozulu, kickthething, KohPhi, CALL ME SNAKE ,

Arna Bombers.

These words might seem like just that comrades, but they got us over the line in the end.

We live to fight another day.

Arna.

****IN.

BOMBERS.








Thanks for the week Hawks, enjoy the off-season, you’ve earned a rest.
