With Lothlorien lacking a team of their own this year, they were determined to see an exhibition played in their realm at least. And with Celeborn on team Anduin and Galadriel on Wilderland it made sense that those two would be matched up.

When the groups were announced fans were a bit disappointed as the two squads were placed in the same group, which would mean they would probably play more guarded in their friendly match.

And that did in fact happen, but it was still good play with a good showing of speed and effort, and the fans were pleased that it wasn't one of those 0-0 kick-it-around matches. Each squad scored in both halves, though Wilderland came close to not gaining the equalizer thanks to a couple late saves from the Anduin keeper. But finally Orome came through to make it a square result for everyone.

Anduin 2-2 Wilderland
tot shots 11-17
on target 5-7
GOALS:
*15, 1-0 Grimbeorn (Lenwe)
*42, 1-1 Galadriel (Orome)
*56, 2-1 Boromir II (Amdir)
*84, 2-2 Orome (Elwe)
YELLOW CARDS:
*Anduin- Borondir, Fram
*Wilderland- Scatha, Finglas

The Downer traveled to Himring to take on Inter Beleriand in one of the late matches today.

Maedhros and Fingon elected to take it slow and careful to avoid provoking the violent streak in The Downer, but it turned out they didn't have to worry, as Hookbill had his troops surprisingly focused from the outset.

After the initial shock Inter drew first blood off a snipe from Fingon. The Downer struck back immediately in the 2nd with Hookbill toeing it to Fillis in the aftermath of some corner-kick chaos. But in the end it was Maedhros himself deciding things, pounding in a left-footed strike after being released by Hunthor.

It was a good competitive game and both squads felt pleased that they were on their way towards tournament form.
