The Midtown Bombers caused the upset of the year by defeating the Druid Hillls Highlanders this morning in perfect conditions for football. The Bombers got out to a handy lead early and had to fend of a huge finish by Druid Hills in the last quarter to hold on for a thrilling win. Trailing by 33 points at the last change the Highlanders gave everything and came within 5 points before they ran out of time. In the Decatur v Roswell game the result was over before it started with Decatur failing to get the regulation amount of players there in time to prevent forfeiting. The resultant pick up game was a nice training run for the Rebels as they look towards a crack at the title next week in the final round. Midtown Bombers 2.4 8.5 13.8 16.10 (106) Druid Hills Highlanders 2.4 3.5 8.5 15.6 (96)
Roswell Rebels 8.1 16.3 19.5 23.6 (144) Decatur Devils 3.2 3.4 7.6 9.9 (63) Match report is here.
