So the finals were indeed won by Hard Force with the game being a tight one. The Blue Sharks went down 15 - 10. One point below my prediction, which if it were right would have made me a proven and gifted psychic (but only while under the influence). Beginning to ponder the meaning of the universe and questioning my powerful and raw psychic potential I asked myself in passing "If I only got it wrong by one point what does that make me?". A more astute Jean retorted "NOT-pyschic!", completely shattering any dreams and premonitions of grandeur I nearly had.
With a few weeks to catch up on I will quickly run through the events of the past few weeks:
The final Wednesday night of league for all but the teams in the finals saw all three lower ranked teams defeated by their higher ranked opponents. Motherhuckers overran the Heavyweights, Hard Force edged out Yellow Fever, and Pink BAMFs defeated Blue Sharks. Blue Sharks were then allowed through to the Semi-Finals as the highest ranked defeated team.
As mentioned both of these team's semi-finals games went down to the wire, both on points and time, and both came out ahead close to "lights cap" 2 points (Blue Sharks) and one point (Hard Force)ahead against their respective opposition, Motherhuckers and Pink BAMFs.
My team the Heavyweights, which not having won many games was starting to look like a repeat of The Savages from the previous semester, DID NOT win the WOODEN SPOON in a game against Yellow Fever. After Tim Roland took out one of Yellow's players, sending them to the nearby hospital alongside their captain, yellow just seemed to mellow, a little too much. The clever game altering strategy by the Heavyweights was to appear as if we weren't playing for keeps, but still win as many points as we could. Part of this strategy entailed a "bum point" which was a compromise from an undies point only involving Tim, to being a point where all male players Finny, Brad and myself hung our bums out like gansters without undies. This served the purpose of distracting Jean a lot and strangely enough Tim, from our own team who was meant to take part but instead squealed like a schoolgirl.
What a great season for all those teams!
Amrrca vs. 'Straya game
Team America
The following Friday's Amrrca vs. 'Straya game was certainly a hyped-up spectacle. Many of the 'mericans appeared to be drunk and already beginning to drown their sorrows or just unable to handle the first beer they'd ever been treated to. The Aussies arrived in force with a good sized turn-out of players 20+, making it almost impossible to get rid of the adrenaline and find good form early on, but a good thing in the end. The game ended with time on the lights running out. America was defeated 9 - 10 by the Aussies at timecap. The biannual event has now been marked with a pretty disc shaped trophy which was awarded at the end.
Victorious Team Australia
