Mallers Rain over Mariners
It's Albany. It's post-season play. It's raining again. Same tune, same result.
Your NFA champion Albany Metro Mallers welcomed the Brooklyn Mariners to 'The Pit', aka Charlie Leigh Field at historic Bleecker Stadium. By the end of the game, the field resembled its nickname and the Mallers had defeated the RAFL champion Mariners 13-8 in the Harvest Bowl semi-finals.
In a first half hurricane that saw both teams offense drowned to a halt, the Mallers turned to the now vaunted defense and the special teams. Macio Clinton ran back a Mariner punt 65 yards for a 6-0 lead. Then DB Gabe Young picked off a pass in the 3rd to make it 13-0 Mallers. Late in 4th quarter, the M's blocked a Craig Peteson punt into the endzone to cut the lead to 13-8. The Mallers would receive the ensuing kick-off and run out the clock.
The Mallers will next face the winner of the November 22nd Charlestown Townies/Connecticut Giants game. The Harvest Bowl championship will be played on November 29th, at a site TBD.

Lawson was named to the 2nd team. These players will be invited to a proposed All-Star game to be played before the 2009 season.(Teams were limited to 10 nominations)
