Wk 16: Buckets Stunned By Another Late Rally, Lose 30-27 To Sydney
Sydney-
Another game the Los Angeles Buckets ( 11-5 ) let slip away. The home team Sydney Rabbits ( 5-11 ) thrilled their fans with a heroic comeback from an 11-point defecit with just 3 minutes to play- scoring two quick Touchdowns to stun the visiting Buckets 30-27."Wow you just have to hand it to them!" Buckets coach Jay T. said. "They obviously did not think the game was over when they were down. They made some great plays and we just could not stop them. We tip our caps to Sydney coach Michael Franks for a heck of a rally and an incredible win!"
Thanx again for the great game, Sydney Rabbits coach Michael Franks!
Cheers,
Jay
