“Never in field of Skaven history has so much been owed to so few...An already depleted one tribe was further hit by the arrest of the team's remaining Storm Vermin and a serious hangover affecting star player Gran-otik. Despite their greater experience, seven against elevern did not look good odds. However, much like Ronaldo, Gran-otik shrugged off the headache to score two touchdowns in a thrilling 3-3 all draw. But for a failed go for it in the final turn of the first half, it could have been one of the most unlikely victories in Blood Bowl history.”
“The badly-misnamed Highflyers put up a performance worthy of England v Sweden. They dominated the early exchanges only to watch a lone Skaven (in fact, the only Skaven still upright at that point) dance through five defenders to score. Superior limb-count and some slick pass-play saw the Highflyers through to a 2-1 lead at the half, which became 3-1 shortly after, but when star catcher Loen Lanafarr was stretchered off midway through the half the team fell apart. Defensive captain Glorial followed (on a botched apo roll) as a misguided blocking scheme let in the second and then "star" passer Phionn Palamira dropped the ball twice in the backfield to give away the softest of soft scores.”
