Just some corrections:
I scored my only goal late in the second half thanks to a botched pickup by the Zons and a four square scatter into my turf. Pretty lucky as all the four squares were occupied by Zons without Tackle Zones on them! That was a rare sight.
Also, the final attempt for Coach_grit would have been 1d block (needed a push), 3+ dodge (without dodge rr due to the other tackle player) and a gfi, all without rr. It would have been epic, but it was not to be this time. Phew... :)
Bounty on Cuppa Tealuv for smashing my scary stuff and hitting all her dauntless rolls. I'll jinx those dice now, hoping that she knocks herself out for good by failing a Dauntless against something nasty.

Tough game, and a particuarly crap set of dice rolling from both sides in the first half lol.
The Oakland Oozes won the kickoff and elected to receive. What followed was a sequence of failed 2+ pickups by the beastman with big hand allowing my zons to put pressure on the ball carrier deep in the Oakland half while the rest of the Oakland team was kept occupied by blodgers.
3 or 4 turns later after both sides had finished rolling 1's on GFI's and flirting with double skulls my zons finally got their fine delicate hands on the ball for the score in turn 6ish.
2nd half.... well nuffle cursed me receiving the ball ans surely as he cursed spysurge in the first half.
Cut a long story short, fairly normal opening with me doing some blocks, creating a safe field position. Reroll still in hand one of my blitzers attempts the pickup, fails... not unusual that.... but the fumbled bounces of 4 players all the way into the Oakland half into a almost ready made caging position!
I had to laugh to be honest.
Despite some brave, some might say suicidal defending as zons stood right up against beasts, rotters and beastmen, and a failed but very crafty chain push to hit the ball carrier, Spysurges extra strength beat my blodge.
Onfortunately i couldnt (quite) stop Spysurge from getting his score with his beastmen successfully finding their way down one of my flanks.
With 2 turns left to play the amazon received the ball again, this time getting touchback which was handy since rerolls were all gone.
Got 2 guys into scoring position, including my bountied Thatcher teh Catcher but a good defensive setup which i hadnt seen coming (was nice) gave me the only option of scoring being a 3+reroll dodge, a 1db with no reroll a 3+ dodge and finally a GFI.
Thankfully nuffle didnt tease me too much by letting me get all the way to the GFI before stiching me up he was kind instead and gave me a nice skull on the 1DB.
Just time for one more attempt by spysurge to collect the bounty on Thatcher with a T16 foul, but alas he was thwarted hehe.
Good fun game anyways. Im happy we both got our luck out of the 30% range in the second half ;)”
