“A highly entertaining match at least and one in two halves - the Dearves were favoured before the game but it appeared that <b>Pierro el Zinodio</b> was ni extra good from - he seems to have had a bit of extra help from a potion or other.
The Carnival elected to kick and it proved to be a good move. Straight from the kick off the highly rated <b>Gragantuant</b> made an incredible blunderthat led to the Carnival penetrating deeply into the opponents half and allowed <b>Der Burkhardt</b> to open the scoring.
After that the match became a slow grind and not one that helped the Carnival - the reknown Trollslayer <b>Massive</b> lashed out at <b>Pierro</b> and whatever he had taken had obviously worn off - when he finally woke he only talked incomprehensible stuff, whether that was the hit or the drugs remains to be established. The dwarves managed to slowly come up the field and in the dying seconds of the first half <b>Gragantuant</b> made up for his earlier error.
The Carnival fans responded by using a rock to remove cement from play in the second half and the team also did well, quickly burrowing into the Dwarf half, but alas the same thing as in the first half happened: a couple of unfortunate and illtimed moves later the humans were forced to make an all or nothing push - Houdinov only needed to suceed in a single dodge to give them the lead but failed.
The humans never recovered the ball and the dwarves slowly mauled up the field. Puny saw off a couple of desperate blitzes to score in the last second of the 2nd half.
A strong victory for the dwarves and it is apparent that the Carnival needs an apothecary and more <i><b>Encores</b></i>.”
