“First game for the Everhaters was against a rookie Skaven team.

Coach Babau was figuring out that while his boys were already masters of sheer spitefulness, they were also somewhat lax when it came to ballhandling and passing. So he thought putting them against a really fast team would have been the best way to make them stand on their toes.

He soon had to realize his gross underestimation of the viciousness of his team's patrons.

An envoy of Lord Nalfein Everhate, hidden amongst the crowd, cast a powerful "brittle" spell on the enemy team's armours to make them as thin as paper and nearly as durable. Due to an unfortunate backfire, though, the spell affected Everhate armours also (Coach Babau does not know what happened to that envoy when he faced Lord Nalfein again... and frakly he does not want to know).

Babau noticed that something was amiss when a rat an an elf lineman slammed one into another at the very beginning of the match. The armours could as well have not been there. The elf ewas stunned and the rat went out for good (with a niggle to boot).

From then on, armour on both sides started to litterally fall apart and nearly every downing of a player resulted in some kind of damage.

The elves won this match by doing an overall superior number of blocks, and by badly hurting very soon one of the opponent's gutter runners (very strong block by dark elf lineman Sagath Everhate).

The opponent played a solid game and his bad result is mainly due to tough luck (let's only mention their thrower niggling himself on a failed dodge). The Rat Ogre was a terror on the field, blocking snd hitting like mad! Honorable mention also to Skaven Lineman Al that with a vicious swipe downed blitzer Salazar "Scorpion" Everhate, incapacitating him for the next game.

The crowd did not seem to appreciate the dirty tricks used by the Everhaters to win the game, especially the "brittle" spell. The Fan Factor did not increase despite the winning (and we also have a pitch invasion to give a beating to some elves).

At the end of the match Coach Babau managed to intercept the scroll full of personal insults that his team members were sensing to Coach Hatschie and substitute it with one congratulating him for being a good coach and a good sport.

And so it ends... ”
