IW on GL Fumble.

We had a fifth quarter last night for a freshmen game. In our area just 12 plays each Offense, starting at the 25, giving some of the players time that don't play much. No clock, score isn't kept, no tries, any turnover simply returns the ball to the 25.

A drives down to about the 3. Next play is running play, A1 runs up the middle but loses the ball before the goal line (maybe 1/2 yard line), ball rolls into EZ and A1 falls on the ball in the EZ. L on opposite side blows an IW as ball is rolling in EZ. A1 was definitely not down. I'm ump, LJ and I look at each other trying to figure out what the options are. Given the nature of the situation, no score kept, etc. We restarted A back at 25.

Suggestions on the right ruling for "real" play? We ran the fifth qtr just like normal play, except for the mentioned anomalies.
