If the first game of the day delivered drama, the second gave fans a full-blown spectacle. In a clash between two desperate, winless teams, the Greenbacks Flag Football finally broke their painful losing streak with a thunderous 45–6 demolition of the Mainland Long Horns at the ever-vibrant Showtime Arena.
This was not just a win — it was an explosion.
Both teams entered the Arena with identical records: zero wins, heavy defeats, and bruised confidence. Fans expected tension. What they got was a one-sided masterclass.

From the opening drive, the Greenbacks looked like a team possessed. Their offense stormed downfield with swagger, pace, and ruthless efficiency. Before the Long Horns could even settle, the scoreboard was already tilting heavily against them. The crowd — warmed up from the fiery Week 8 opener — roared louder with every Greenbacks touchdown.
By halftime, the damage was brutal. By full time, it was absolute.
The Long Horns had no answers. Mistakes piled up, passes went astray, defensive gaps cracked open, and the Greenbacks capitalised on everything, turning the game into a rout that had fans on their feet across the Arena.
Showtime commentators called it “the blowout of the season” — and they weren’t exaggerating.
The emphatic 45–6 victory means the Greenbacks finally taste success after weeks of frustration and heartbreak, while the Mainland Long Horns sink deeper into their nightmare campaign. With just one week left in the regular season, both teams remain rooted at the bottom of the standings, far from playoff contention.
But today, for the Greenbacks, none of that mattered.
After weeks of struggle, they walked off the turf with their heads high, drenched in applause from the Arena. For once, their story didn’t end in defeat — it ended in triumph.
