Does anyone have the scores for the playoff games for USARL yesterday?
What happened up at Philly? Was anyone there who can provide some detail? The Slayers were strong all year so the score is a surprise. I'm guessing a very high injury toll...
Fight 77 - DC 0
Boston 42 - RIR 24
Axemen 40 - Warriors 12
42 - 26 Final Score.
Match report. Things were even for a bit and then we were down to 14 players, then down to 12 players (one guy broke his hand but played the remainder of the game). Injuries played a toll to both sides on the wet surface, but did us a little harder due to 2 of our Aussies being downed for the entire game. In the wet weather, knock-ons at key areas on the pitch did us in. At the end of the day Boston made less errors than us and won on the day. Great match till the very end as we were within 10 points up until the last 10 minutes of the game.
Considering the fact it was raining we had a great turnout. 80 people squeezed into our grandstands for which we built a makeshift canopy for prior to kickoff.
