“Lol, yeah! I think it was the elves taht were tripping this time! ;) At one point I suggested the smell of moonshine around them was the cause of all those failed dodges and the stuns followed up. ..could be!?! :)
I agree that the BLITZ made a big deal in this match. My orcs got to bash the elves without giving them a chance to even try to build up a decent attack. Since more and more elves where knocked out catching up was very difficult for them.
In the beginning two of the Marshalls slipped through the orcs defence but failed a pass and the ball scattered close to the Sipper thrower. The orcs managed to secure the ball and tried even to pass to the brand new blitzer Makkonen who was ready to get away from Marshall's defence. With a catch he might have scored cuz only 1 elf would have been able to follow him and if Makkonen would have tried to GFI and succeeded then it would have been a sure td.
The elves secured the ball for a minute but soon the orcs were all over them. A missclick made Black Orc BeeBee dodge and trip. Thrower Napolon of the Marshalls picks up the ball but fails the pass and the ball lands close to him and several orcs. Orc thrower Rissanen picks up the ball and runs closer to end zone alone. Dragon Warrior Ney blitzes him but rolls a pushback. Several orcs move to help their thrower who had 3 elves breathing in his neck. ELf lineman Massena blocks the thrower out of the pitch and the ball scatters. The elves fail to pick it up and so does the orcs.
Having more men on the field the orcs manage to get the ball into safety. One elf had the chance to disturb the ball carrier but he fails a GFI roll and the orcs score 1-0.
2nd half
Marshall kick the ball out and the orcs start to move slowly forward with BOB Tytti carrying the ball. The elves press hard to strip the ball but the smelly orcs stand firm with the ball. The bashing back and forth continues for the next 5 rounds when the orcs finally manage to cross the end zone line with Tytti carrying the ball.
A final attempt for the elves on the 2 last rounds result with a great td by Ney after amazing dodging and going for it! :)”

I slipped on a few dodges and the main problem was the BLITZ Kick Off table result that kind of left me flat footed for the whole half.
The Orcs scored near the end of the half and that was pretty much the result sorted.
In the second the Orcs tried to cage up a BOB upfield but the Elves made some valiant tackles that slowed them down. The score still came eventually.
Right at the death Ney scored on his debut with 3 dodges and 2 GFI to make the TD, so at least there was some honour restored if still no points!!
Well played mate...good luck!!”
