3rd Annual MFFL 2011 (week 1) Game #1

MAFFA Week 1 (game 1)
Storm (34) - Phytons (18)
by Mr.Cuz

The sun was out, the field was set, and the Malaysian Flag Football League 2011 (MFFL2011) got underway at 11am Sunday, March 27, 2011 with the Sunway Storm going up against KL Phytons.

If you thought teams would get jittery at the start of the season, you were proven wrong from the very first drive. The Storm went on offense first, and had no problems marching down the field, capped off by a touchdown and a 2 point conversion to take the lead 8-0.

It was the beginning of a shoot out, with the Storm scoring another 2 TDs and the Phytons countering with 3 TDs of their own to close the half with the Storm leading 20-18.

The heat of the midday sun began to take a toll on the players, as both teams were not as sharp as they were in the first half, trading empty possessions back-to-back until things fell apart for the Phytons defense. Sunway Storm then added 2 TDs to end the game 34-18, adding the first W for their season.

MAFFA GRIDIRON GAME BALL: The Great ol’ Sun. If the Storm could limit the Phytons attack in the second half, The Big Ball of Fire took on both teams, and she was ready for more!
