Despite making some fairly good plays, the Sunbakers never got to make the touchdown(s) needed to win/tie the game. The truth is, they kept getting into positions where the dwarves had all the advantages, blocking them, and then setting tackle zones on the ball carrier, and we just couldn't seem to shake them loose.
Anyway, in large part, xstatika played pretty well, in the end forcing me to do things like attempt to blitz with the kroxigor, and tie his players up with skinks (meaning that they were going to get hit).
The loss of Zftss was a bit of bad luck, he had so much potential (dodge / SF), and had already won me several games with his uncanny ability to dodge out of tacklezones even with AG1). Ah well, at least he died playing the game he loved.

3 casualties from 7 blocks! Now that's what I call a troll slayer! His casualties included both the kill (Zftss), and the serious injury that the apothecary couldn't save (Kisss).
2 pts - #16 Vedgrasill
In addition to being the primary ball-carrier of the team Vedgrasill was a key player in the defence, assisting almost every single attempt to take down the ball carrier.

Despite being pretty much a rookie, this Troll slayer had what it took when it came to scoring (I'm not sure if even he knows how he ended up with the ball. He certainly put in his fair share of blocks too - 16 in a single match is quite an effort!”
“After 2 turns the dwarves thought this match was done and dusted and Lav would be running rings round us. A hard Vedgrasill blitz slowed play down to Dorf'in pace and let us smash our way to victory, 6 casualties including an unfortunate death of Zftss, a Saurus who previously had a very promising future.
