Press Conference: Losing Coach Review
Written by Head Coach
Today’s game wasn't what we expected against the Quokkas on steroids. The scoreboard doesn't reflect the effort our players put forth on that field at St. James's Gate. We faced early challenges, struggling to regain momentum after conceding touchdowns in the first quarter. While we did manage to score in the third and fourth quarters, it just wasn't enough.
Our offense had moments of brilliance but fell short in consistency. The turnovers and missed opportunities were key factors in the game, and we simply couldn't find our rhythm against a very organized Quokkas defense. Injuries affected our game plan as we lost key players but the players who stepped in did their best under the circumstances. We learned valuable lessons today, and we will work hard to improve in the upcoming matches. The final score was Quokkas on steroids 35, Paris Guardians 17. We will regroup and come back stronger.

Game Highlights: Dumbarajko Elephants vs. TigerCats
Written by: Billabong Bouncer
In a thrilling encounter at the Požarevački hipodrom, the Dumbarajko Elephants came out on top against the TigerCats with a final score of 34 to 24 in this Friendly Cup match that no spectators attended (must be a quiet Tuesday for most!). The match started with the TigerCats winning the coin toss but they stumbled early, fumbling their first possession before saddling the Elephants with a solid field goal for an early 3-0 lead.
Things started heating up quickly in the first quarter as the Elephants extended their lead with a touchdown, skillfully maneuvering their offense through the TigerCats’ defense, resulting in a 10-0 lead after a successful extra point. The Elephants continued to impose their will, scoring another touchdown before the end of the first, making it 17-0. It almost looked like they could’ve been playing rugby with the way some players tore through like a Craig Wing down the sideline!
In the second quarter, the TigerCats finally showed some fight, scoring a touchdown themselves to pull the score to 17-7, but that was merely a blip on the Elephants' radar as they answered back with another touchdown for a 24-7 advantage, reflecting their bruising ground game reminiscent of a solid scrummaging contest in rugby. Just as it seemed the Elephants would run away with the game, the TigerCats found their rhythm and managed a second touchdown, bringing the score to 24-14 by halftime.
The second half started with more action as the TigerCats attempted to claw their way back into the game, yet the Elephants held tight with diligent defense and powerful runs from their offensive unit. Despite a few turnovers, including a notable interception that capably flipped the momentum in favor of the TigerCats, they struggled to convert this into meaningful points. The third quarter culminated in another touchdown for the Elephants, extending the score to 31-14, as their kicker added the PAT with ease.
As the final quarter dawned, the TigerCats wouldn’t just roll over. They dug deep and managed to score a field goal before getting their final touchdown of the game, closing it to 34-24, but time was against them. The Elephants, much like a well-timed RSVP for a grand final barbecue, secured their win and sent the TigerCats home empty-handed.
In the end, it was a dominant triumph for the Dumbarajko Elephants, proving that a well-structured formation and resilient play style can severely unsettle even a spirited opponent. A game filled with highlights, skillful play, and enough exciting moments to keep any football fan, entrepreneur, or rugby enthusiast cheering!

Game Day Shenanigans at Mystic Field
Written by: Bubba McGee
Well, lemme tell ya, folks, it was a real dogfight at Mystic Field this past Sunday! The bleachers were packed tighter than a can of sardines with 14,119 fans cheerin' for their teams, the mystics and them Social Distance Runners. As the action kicked off, the mystics won the toss and decided to receive that ol' pigskin. Right off the bat, them Runners kick it off, and I reckon that didn't take long for the mystics to get to business.
Now, the first quarter was like watchin' paint dry, slow and steady, until that QB Rogelio Foster of the mystics found his mojo, throwin' a long 82-yard pass that got 'em all hyped up! Touchdown mystics! And with a successful PAT kick by Rhett Settle, they left the field with a tidy 7 to zip lead!
Things got a little bumpy for Social Distance Runners as they tried to push back. With some short runs and complete pass attempts, I swear that team was tryin' to wear out their welcome on the field. But they just couldn’t put points on the board, no sir! Their defense was all balled up, tryna stop the mystics from takin' off like a wild oil derrick. And just when we thought it couldn't get any wild, we saw a big ol' interception by Toma Kontić! That fella took it 31 yards back before getting tackled! The mystics took that gift and marched back down the field for yet another touchdown. I ain't kiddin' ya, they was rollin' with 17 points by the end of the third quarter!
But hold on to your horses, the Social Distance Runners weren’t about to roll over easy. They made the last quarter a real doozy, strikin' with two touchdowns, one after the other, gettin' back to the mystics close in score. It appeared real tense there for a minute, and I thought we might be headed to overtime. But the mystics hunched their backs and stayed focused, makin' sure those last few minutes were on lock.
As the final whistle blew, the scoreboard showed a close call with Social Distance Runners at 21 and the mystics at 24! What a barnburner, folks! Ain't nothin' like some good ol' American football on a Sunday afternoon!
