Greyhounds — Marian, NFL

The Greyhounds beat the Marian 39:7 in the regular-season of the NFL on Thursday evening. The scoreline tells the story without needing further explanation. By then the visitors had seen enough of the game to know what was happening. There were no late dramas to speak of. The Greyhounds never got out of second gear and punished Marian from open play. To be fair, the visitors came for a cross he never reached, but that's not the kind of detail you find in a final score. The margin of victory sits at thirty-two points. That's not a result that suggests a tight contest. The Greyhounds played the afternoon a man up in terms of composure, even if the numbers on the scoreboard didn't change after the interval. Marian's record now includes another defeat without scoring. The Greyhounds will make life awkward for anyone facing them this season. There's not much more to say when the gap is this wide. The regular-season continues with both teams still searching for consistency. One result doesn't define a campaign, though this one raised questions rather than answered them. The Greyhounds held on for the full duration and let the tie slip away from Marian without real effort.
