The Opening Match
The Barrow-Downs (35) vs. Erebor (13)
Erebor won the toss and picked to recieve. They made a relatively slow start and soon ended up giving away posession. Unfortunately the 'Downs couldn't convert anything either and the first quarter went by with no breaks for either team. The second quarter however brought better luck for the Barrow-Downs as an early interception by Gil-Galad and a few good runs later the Barrow-Downs found themselves within 19 yards of scoring. Sleepy Ranger threw the whole 19 yards and the pass was completed by Glirdan scoring the 'Downs their first touchdown. The phantom did what was needed and got the 'Downs the extra point.
It was a far more aggressive Erebor on the field this time around but an untimely fumble gave the 'Downs posession at the 30 yard line. Sleepy Ranger attempted the pass and Glirdan was there to complete it again giving the 'Downs their second touchdown from a huge pass. The phantom once again got them the extra point. Erebor managed to get off a series of good passes and a 15 yard pass finally got them the touchdown they needed and they managed to get the extra point as well. The 'Downs came close to scoring once more but time was not on their side as the half came to an end.
Possession kept being passed around at the beginning of the second half until Erebor managed to rush in a touchdown from 10 yards out. However they could not get the extra point. A remarkable 40 yard run by THE Ka got the 'Downs their third touchdown of the match and the phantom brought home another extra point. The teams ended the quarter with Erebor on the ball. With a minute left to play an interception by Gil-Galad just outside the 10 yard line led to a breath-taking 50 yard run and brought the 'Downs close to another touchdown. Sleepy Ranger managed to get a 20 yard pass to Wilwarin who ran in for the touchdown. Phantom showed no flaws and the 'Downs won 35-13.
