“Despite being unable to scrape together a beard amongst the whole crew, the 'zons took the field and fought like true warriors (you gotta respect anyone who'll take to the pitch in nothing but their fur-lined skivvies -- Trollslayer Dorak Stoneheart was so impressed he forgot to duck as Blitzer You Got Another Thing Comin' walloped him upside the head and sent him crashing into the BH box early in the match) but Nuffle took a heavy hand in the game and robbed the Priestesses of any real chance at victory (2 blitzes, numerous failed dodges and gfi's, an impressive -- but very lucky -- block, hand-off, pass to a Longbeard, TD play..., the list goes on).

Apparently our fans didn't appreciate the Grudgebearers picking on a bunch of girls and expressed their disapproval in a ff decrease, though they paid handsomely enough (and, as dwarves, we'll take gold over applause any day).

It sours the victory a little to have had fortune factor so greatly in deciding the game, but we look forward to what will hopefully be a more even-handed rematch with coach Mully and his girls in the second half of the season.”
