Round 18 vs Las Vegas Bears @ The Stadium in the Sky
Match report by jackster83
Having a bye that wasn’t really a bye saw us come up against the Bears with only a five day break. The Bears themselves were in the same boat, so both teams got on with preparing for a Friday night specatular. A little bit of banter between old pals Ant Bear and Millky95 got things underway, before the Swamprats stirred things up by boldly naming their team at the start of the week.
The Rats got off to the fast start, kicking three goals inside the first seven minutes, with two coming from GremioPower. The Bears hit back though and took the lead in the 11th minute. The two teams traded several goals before JoshWoodenSpoon kicked the ball through the wrong goals, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Despite a seven point play from My Cotchin Rules, the Bears finished the team stronger and went into quarter time with a small 7.3 (45) to 6.7 (43) lead.
The Bears started the second term on fire, and pushed the lead out to 18 points. The margin could have been greater had they taken all of their opportunities. The Rats hit back through okeydoke7 and started to gradually claw their way back. The Bears responded with a late major, before Okey kicked another to bring the margin down to just six points when the siren went. At half time the scores were 11.7 (73) to 10.7 (67).
The Bears nabbed the first goal of the second half before a great steadying goal by Jewelsbon. When Okey kicked his fourth, the Rats had finally hit the lead. Both sides traded goals once again with My Cotchin rules putting through two in two minutes (with a Bears goal sandwich in there). The Bears had other ideas though, and they hit back hard, regaining the lead in the 13th minute. A great defensive effort by Ticky009 halted their progress however, which lead to Okey kicking goal number five. The Bears led by a goal in the 22nd minute, before a late Rat frenzy saw three goals added in quick succession. It was a good thing the drug testers weren’t at the ground, as the Rats went into the final change leading 18.11 (119) to 16.9 (105).
By now the Rats had a taste for blood, piling on six goals in quick time, with BloodySwan helping himself to three of them. When regular full back Rodney Dangerfield ran up the field to kick one, it was party time. He enjoyed it so much, he added another as the Rats piled on a ten goals to one final term. The final scores were Swamprats 28.15 (183) def Bears 17.13 (115).
