Lions Defeat Combined Austin/Vegas Squad

Austin traveled to San Diego this weekend with low numbers and combined with the Las Vegas Gamblers to take on the Lions.  It was a hard fought game with the Lions and the Gambling Crows taking turns dominating quarters.  The Austin/Vegas combined side came out with a strong start leading San Diego by  couple of goals in the first quarter.  San Diego battled back in the second to take the lead but struggled in the third, only barely managing to hold on to a one goal lead going into the fourth quarter.  The Lions ultimately pulled away in the fourth quarter winning 12.6.78 to Austin/Vegas's 7.12.54.

Great effort by all teams and a big thanks to the Austin and Las Vegas guys for making the trip.
