Rain pours over the pitch as Echoing Steel Stallions open with a breath‑taking strike at minute 3, the ball sailing over the line and a swift conversion securing 7 points. At minute 11 a yellow card shatters Stallions rhythm, but they answer with another try and conversion by minute 17, leaving the score locked at 14‑14 at half‑time.
Obsidian Thrust, unhampered by crowd noise, launch a relentless counter-attack. Eldric Wardell takes the baton at minute 41, landing a crisp try and at minute 59 adding a decisive conversion, his personal haul rising to 7 points. Cyrus Koldin and Zyvex also contribute in the second half, each grabbing a try for 5 points apiece, while Nivaro seals the gate with a conversion at minute 42.
Stallions rally after the break, rocking out two solid tries at minutes 53 and 60. Their conversions, however, prove a mixed bag: a successful kick at minute 61 but a failed attempt at minute 54, the latter preventing a potential surge.
The final bell rings with Obsidian Thrust victorious, 35‑26. The game demonstrated the importance of clean kicking and discipline; the lone yellow in stallions’ camp proved costly, and their inconsistent conversions left them vulnerable during the rain‑slick second half. The ten‑point margin underscored how quickly momentum can tilt in high‑stakes contests.
