In sweltering heat the already undermanned Bunnies took on the hard hitting Norse, and the heat kept even more Bunnies off the pitch on end.
Still the Bunnies used their limited material in style for an early run-of-the-mill two-turn touchdown. Then they got a lucky break when the Norse failed to pick up the ball. They picked it up and cornered it behind the Norse front line. An attempt to cage in the offence was fruitless, as Carmen Körler leapt out and scored.
The Norse retaliated with a quick touchdown, but the few Bunnies left on the pitch managed to scramble for another one before the end of the first half. 3-1.
In the second half the severe pounding began to exert real pressure on the Bunnies. The Norse made a quick touchdown, and with only two players left on the field things seemed hopeless. But once again, Carmen Körler made a drive on her own. All alone against 11 opponents she managed to score.
Now pressure was on Vikings. They did, however, manage to score a quick touchdown, and by now only one Bunny remained on the pitch for the last offensive drive. She cornered the ball and ran up the sideline hoping to throw the ball out of reach for the Norse, but she failed. Instead it bounced out of bounds and was thrown right back to the Norse thrower, who could make the completion for the last second equalizer.
4-4 the final result - and a fair result too, as both teams were successful in their respective fields of strategy. The Bunnies in playing ball, and Vikings in dealing hits.
