Mavericks edge DARC, 11-10. DARC v. High Seas Hotties: a draw.
It was a hardfought game. Arlington went up 3 points early on a penalty kick (0-3). Late in the second half, Zee zig-zagged through defenders on the near side between the try-line and midfield, then broke it open to dot one down between the posts for DARC. Conversion missed: (5-3).
Second half with DARC finally in their own kit, if the tattered old bumble-bee jerseys, they weren't able to break anything big. The scrum wheeled left on every put-in, and Arlington often brought up a speedy defensive line when DARC backs used hands across the pitch. Arlington got another three from a DARC penalty: (5-6). Midway into the second half, the scrambling DARC defense finally let the Mavericks through for an try that was not converted: (5-11). Time was getting late for DARC and one try + conversion would do it. At full time, after some quick hands and scrambling from several DARC players supporting each other, Drew broke free for about a 40 yard run, but had several Mavericks on his tail and wasn't able to put it between the posts. Unfortunately, the try went unverted. The ref blew full time: 10-11.
Great thanks to Arlington for the loan of their spare jerseys the first half, while our secondary set was en-route.
At the Tipp, good drink and food as always. Biggie anchored the boatrace admirably again, giving DARC the win in that category. The boatrace was initiated by special guest starter from the High Seas Hotties roller derby girls.
DARC won the boatrace against the HSH as well, and was briefly rewarded for their accomplishment. However, they also paid a small price shortly afterwards, but it appeared that most of them enjoyed it. (We'll let your imagination picture that - until I have the photographic evidence).
Longtime DARC supporter Tammy (now of Columbus) stopped in to check on her boys. She's doing great.
