Match 1
Liberators 0 - 8 Fighting Fifth
A rapid try from the first whistle, as Dame Balinda hooked the ball up from the ruck and ran, unstoppable, straight for the try line. The conversion was missed, and the Liberators quickly headed upfield to strike back. Their discipline let them down, however, Lord Judanarius entering from the side of the ruck to give away a penalty in an otherwise good attacking position. The tempo of the game slowed towards the middle, the ball turned over regularly around the half way line, with Lord Zeynus's stalwart defence to be applauded, until a final break by the Fighting Fifth was closed down right before the line by Lady Carina and kicked away to touch to end the game 0-8. Man of the match was awarded to Lord Zeynus Sennet.
Players
Liberators: Carina, Judanarius, Zeynus
Fighting Fifth: Odoni, Balinda, Kalina
Match 2
Lost Ferry TC 12 - 7 Fighting Fifth
In a breezy winter day, Lost Ferry TC faced off against the Fighting Fifth in Griffon Park. Lost Ferry battled its way up the pitch, scoring an early try off of Sentry Hufimo's spirited run, but Lord Adan shanked the conversion, putting his team up only five-zero. But the real play of the match was Nelisha's run up the field from the initial ruck, blowing by all of the defenders and taking it to the try line without anyone laying a hand on her. She also converted the try, sending Lost Ferry up 12-0. The Fifth pegged one back when Odoni and Balinda combined kicks to peg Lost Ferry back at their ten meter line and Lord Adan put the ball straight up, returning it to the Fifth right on his own ten meter line. Odoni took it across for an easy score and Balinda converted the try, but the referee soon after blew for time, leaving Lost Ferry ahead 12-7.
Players
Lost Ferry TC: Hufimo, Adan, Nelisha
Fighting Fifth: Odoni, Balinda, Kelarik
Match 3
Roaring Bears 3-3 Fighting Fifth
The Roaring Bears came out with a very defensive game plan, even for them, while the girls of the Fighting Fifth played a traditional game of hard running. With hardly any meters gained on the ground or in the passing game, it was Lord Arnax of the Roaring Bears who frequently kicked to touch as a means of moving the ball. This proved to be the manner with which the Roaring Bears managed to get their one score of the match, where in a display of great teamwork Lord Aldrin managed to get the ball after an Arnax kick, run a short distance, and then pass it on to Mer Eriden who kicked a beautiful drop goal to score the first points of the game. The Fighting Fifth countered with a one two punch of Dame Balinda and Mes Kalina running for a combined 110 meters while Mes Sabria supplied the intangibles for her team by throwing, attempting drop goals, and even picking off a Roaring Bear pass. The score-evening drive showcased the warrior spirit of the Fighting Fifth, driving down the field thanks to the running of Mes Kalina- and when she lost the ball deep in Roaring Bear territory... it was Sabria that managed to get it back, with no time left, and score the drop goal. Mes Kalina would be named Man of the Match for leading the late push to score and for being the game's top rusher with 70 meters.
Players
Roaring Bears - Arnax, Aldrin, Eriden
Fighting Fifth - Kalina, Balinda, Sabria
