Nautone gets off to a good start and gets an early
score.
While Nautone is keeping up the pressure and notching up the scores, Ickabel is doing well not to get penalised. Still Nautone not quite able to land the killer throw.
Nautone guards against the hold down but he's misjudged
it and Ickabel is in for the strangle. Ickabel's body pressing Nautone to the ground while squeezing those vice like hands around his neck.
This is going to be an interesting fight. These two
contenders both have similar fighting techniques and both quite capable of explosive attacks.
They settle into to match steadily gaining confidence but adamant they weren't going to make any silly mistakes. Then Segund starts a fiery
onslaught but Prosper is fast enough to
block and Segund reels away before Prosper can counter. These Titans of Judo grasp at each other like rampant tigers and the action is fast and furious.
Still the clock ticks on, unbelievably there's no scores and no penalties. The crowd is exasperated with excitment, so many times so near and yet so far.
We get into the third minute and the match is stopped for the players to redress their dishevelled Judogi.
Prosper is clearly panting as the clash takes it toll. She seams to be in another world of contemplation, is doubt entering her mind can she get past Segund.
She oblivious to her coach screaming at her, "Look at her, look at her..... LOOK AT HER!!". Finally Prosper snaps out of it and glances round at
Segund.
At the top of her voice she bellows to Prosper, "SHE'S TIRED TOO!!!"
Prosper turns back a small node a little colour returns to her cheeks and the fire reignites in her eyes.
There 90 seconds on the clock and they start again,
Prosper goes for a deep drop Seoi Nage, Segund blocks but hasn't seen the depth and Prosper seizes her leg.
The Dojo erupts as Prosper drives forward bowling Segund
over for a Yuko.
A cacophany of noise ensues as Prosper gets the hold
down with Kazure Kami Shiho Gatame. You can barely hear yourself think with the uproar as each team vies to make its support heard.
Segund is like a rabid bucking bronko, twisting this way
and that, bridging and pulling. The screams of her effort can heard above the din the of the crowd. But Prosper holds on, at times tantalisingly close to being
rolled off only for Segund to relent.
And 30 seconds pass, it's Ippon for Prosper as Segund rolls over in exhaustion.
Match 313: Barone Nudeman(VAM) versus Doikk
Nat's(HAS)
An evenly matched contest here between two very
experienced competitors. Both having
their fair share of scares en route it shows in the slow pace of the contest.
A largely tactical fight for 2 minutes as each seeks to gain advantage over the other.
Nat's makes another minor attack but Nudeman preempts him, not hard but enough to make Nat's stumble.
Nat's sits down and tries to contain Nudeman with his legs, but Nudeman is unstoppable fromhere and slips between them.
The Hasboro team implore Nat's to roll but it's
too late and Nudeman has him. The throats of the Hasboro bench must be red raw with yelling! Another semi and another player being held down.
Nudeman is unmoveable. Nat's is hard pressed even to rock Nudeman, let alone roll him. It's not long before he concedes the inevitable and taps in
submission.
The Hasboro team and the Star Wars club in particular
are mortified, gone is the Cantina Band one two as Nudeman goes through.
