“The first half looked to be a dead rubber, until one of my gobbos made an inspired run behind his line to score in the far corner in the dying seconds of the half.

The second half started with some poor ball handling in the backfield, coupled with the line catching a collective amnesia about what they were doing on the field. This led to the Khemri running in a too easy touchdown.

To add insult to injury, their follow up kick was just about the best/luckiest I have ever seen, coming to rest just my side of the line of scrimmage, and with their team seeming to move before the kick (I'm sure that's against the rules, isn't it?) even my fearless goblins couldn't run into a barrage of tackles. In the end, one brave soul managed to scrape up the ball and chuck it far out of reach, to earn a hard fought draw.

Special mention should be made for Made Stun, the MVP for Invicta, who left the field with his head held......hardly hunched at all, and blood dripping from his hands. We dipped into the team budget and sent him for some specialist training in assisting blocks, and he reportedly came through with flying colours.

Bring on those lizards!”
