Both
team’s
raiders
matched
each
other
step
for
step
through
the
half,
but
the
difference
truly
was
the
well
drilled
and
coordinated
Yoddhas
defence.
With
five
minutes
of
the
half
left,
Narwal,
on
a
DO
OR
DIE
raid,
took
out
Sahil
Gulia
and
Himanshu
–
two
of
the
last
three
remaining
Thaliavas’ players
on
the
mat,
leaving
them
staring
at
a
second
all
out.
The
ALL
OUT
duly
arrived
immediately,
and
the
Yoddhas
went
into
the
break
leading
at
23-11.

The
Thalaivas
came
storming
out
into
the
second
half,
and
had
the
Yoddhas
on
the
ropes,
on
the
cusp
of
an
all
out.
Ashu
Singh’s
SUPER
TACKLE
on
V
Visvanath
helped
them
avoid
that
fate
and
keep
the
lead
intact.
Successful
raiding
from
the
Thalaivas
constantly
left
the
Yoddhas
on
the
brink,
but
Ashu’s
constant
ability
to
pull
off
super
tackles
meant
they
never
lost
their
emphatic
lead.

The
Thalaivas
tried
their
best
to
make
a
comeback,
but
they
couldn’t
catch
up
with
their
opponents.
The
Yoddhas
capped
it
off
in
the
best
way
possible,
substitute
raider,
Rathan
getting
a
SUPER
RAID
to
get
them
over
the
40-point
mark
and
help
clinch
their
third
win
of
the
season.
