The long awaited, much anticipated battle between Good and Evil for the state of Queensland was finally fought in the dying hours of day 2, AMUC 2011, Melbourne.

The teams took a moment to stare each other down, before 7 of the bravest, most powerful Heroes, members of the Justice League, took the line, facing the nastiest, most cunning Villians - The Injustice League (lame.. but see wiki).

The Villians struck first (disclaimer - I'm making some of these details up), putting two on the board. Heroes responded, but Hugh Osborne made it his personal business to stop all good work done by the women and men in white (Heroes away outfit, chosen to represent light in the battle against darkness). Hugh got horizontal on many occasion, attacking from behind to steal the disc away.

Townsville's male line was massive, all over 6'. Becky and ..... were the known pickups, but homegrown Villian Dee was most impressive in her first AMUC, again, laying out and catching everything.

Heroes managed to hang on, the Villians taking half, 8-7. Captain H was caught spying on the Justice League at half time, and was immediately captured and escorted back to his camp, not being executed in cold blood, you know, code things. One anonymous Heroes member said at half time "For the rest of the game, we're in this no matter what happens now."

What happened then is the Villians marched in a few more points, taking the score to 13-9, frustrating the Heroes who were not using their super powers when the end zone was in question (mismatch).

I believe it was at this point that a contested call was made on an end-zone bid. The disc went back to 20m out and quicker than the speed of light, Jo had cut and received the disc.

There was a glimmer of hope. The city of Melbourne and the state of Queensland was in peril. A bunch of no-bodies came to look on. With the MIB(/WIB)crying out for a Hero, the Justice League lifted. The Elongated Man, James, was seen marking his man harder than everyone had ever seen before. He was reaching to grab the disc in field whilst it had sailed way out. Along with Bevan and MVP Sophie, these Heroes dominated the field. Hugh gave it his all til the death, but came up "injured" and relucant to leave the field.

Gavin wandered on to the field and this humble blogger let him. We are glad that he did, because it was Gavin who received the disc from Keisha$$#@ sophie (not bell) to win... time is up.
