Recap:
Workdaze held on for a 5:4 victory to capture their 3rd Championship, and their first ever undefeated session.

After outscoring opponents by more than 5 goals a game in the regular seasion, Workdaze squeaked out a one goal victory for the second time this evening. Early on Workdaze got out to a 2:0 lead on two controversial goals. However, they couldn't keep the advantage as Fred's stormed back in to the game.

The game then took a strange turn. Jon, playing in his first two games back from a broken toe went down. The team thought he had broken his toe again, but it was just a leg cramp. Then 5 other players on the team went down with cramps. Apparently the back to back games and the energy spent in the D4 game was taking it's toll.

First Frank went down with a leg cramp. Kevin who played excellently in goal, was next. Ralf replaced him in goal and made some brilliant saves. Seamus and Steve both went down as well. Workdaze was running out of players, and luckily had a very deep bench for the game. Finally, Ralf went down with a cramp and had to be replaced by Thomas. Thomas made the final great save as time expired.

Workdaze was thrilled to have pulled out a close game. It was a team effort to the end with everyone stepping up to do their part.
