The Rumble in the Jungle - part 2.  Lions vs. Tigers... Roaarr!!

Time for Bengals to assert themselves in the league once more and bounce back from the previous week's defeat. With top support from Helen Skedgel on the sidelines (recovering from injury), Bengals had everything in place to return to winning form... except for being a girl down before the match started.  Damn it!  Luckily, a Lancaster Liger by the name of Tara Stott stepped up to the mark as a guest Bengal tiger.  But hey, was she more Lion or Tiger?  Well, 60 minutes of korf would help decide.  Lions were also a player down due to late illness of one of their players, but were helped out by a passing Warrior.

Bengals took the lead at early on against strong pressure from the Lions.  This was a much stronger Lions side than we met in the first half of the season. But Bengals stood firm and held their lead as the score increased on both sides.  Bengals demonstrated experience and cool heads and never went behind.  With plenty of goals nicely spread around the team, it was a good performance with well balanced divisions and everyone contributing 100%.  The only downer was Diana turning her remaining good ankle and hobbling off the pitch in the last few minutes.  Get better soon Diana!  Thanks to Liger Chanita Watson for stepping in for the last few minutes of play. Final score Man Uni Lions 6, Bengals 8.
