78.30 A decent attacking opportunity for the Gamblers comes to an abrupt end as Funkotron tries to unlock the defence with a grubber. The kick bounces and sits up nicely for Jackson who boots it clear.

Gamblers tactics worked pretty well. Didn't give much ball to their backs but squeezed the Spartans well. The last ten minutes of the first half was where the Gamblers lost it. Spartans backs making lots of yards but the Gamblers' tight defence kept them out when it mattered.
