NPPL SEMI FINALS SUMMARY REPORT

The Final four Teams that made it to the Semis were
IRONMEN vs BLAST
AFTERMATH vs HURRICANES


What a great sunday evening- me at home with a (ginger) beer and online with the crew and Ollie and Nicky putting on the show in the snake.

SEMI FINAL 1
Ironmen vs Blast


GAME 1
Ollie plays the snake - cooly 'walks' the highway on the inside of the snake to bunker snake one. From there he goes and cleans up 2 more in the back corners. Nicky arrives at the flag at the same time and hangs it. Ironmen rolled Blast 7-0 without dropping a player. Ironmen were dominant in this one.

Ollie walking the highway. The coolest move of the day

GAME 2
Ollie in sake again
Nicky Cuba in the dorito then bumps to the car wash
Greg Seiwers (Ironically who is on loan from the Ironmen) vs Ollie in the snake
Nicky make his big move takes 2 on run thru
Ironmen make the final on 2 zip.


How can I tell its Alex Goldman in the carwash? He's got a 'gold' loader. Lasoya in the Dorito? Check the ponytail.

SEMI FINAL 2
Aftermath vs Hurricanes

Was a great match up- both teams regular finalists but never winning. Both teams desperate to win their first pro.

GAME 1
Rob Landry (Hurricanes) break for the mega spoke 50 next move bunkers Aftermath car wash guy and then shoots out snake 2. Big game move.
Thomas Mantoni also has a big game - kill 3 kills on a run thru.
Chris Lasoya get shot in the car wash by the Hurricanes' snake
But somehow Aftermath turn it around back and wins Game 1.

GAME 2
Game starts of even. Mirrors in both the car washes and snake 1 with Lasoya in the Car Wash. Hurricanes put 2 guys in the snake one crossing and the other just looking down tape. The Canes control Lasoya in the Carwash- he can't move and Aftermath stays put.
With 3.16 left its a tight game with 6 on 6 no one taking any chances.
With less than a min to go- Canes finally shoot out Lasoya and Billy Benaccia (Hurricanes) makes the game move by going the outside of the snake and shoots snake one and bunkers the snake tower- the rest of the Canes are smart enough to follow him up to snatch the flag and run it in with 6 seconds on the clock. Awesome stuff!
Hurricanes tie it up 1-1 get go to Game 3

GAME 3
Greg Hinthorne plays on and they call a one on one and pull him and The Hurricane's best player Billy Benaccia out. Cane's are in deep.
Alex Goldman is in the snake with Lasoya in the Car Wash. Goldman goes the highway to bunker Rob Landry and they both trade out. Last two players left on the field one on one Alex Macmaster and Bobby Aviles - clock runs out.
