“This became a lesson in not giving up. The Skirmishers had an uphill struggle during 3/4 of the match, having a hard time landing blocks and seeing the opponents having the margins with them in almost everything they did.

Despite landing many mighty blows and gangfouling with dirty players all they achieved was a single casualty. Not even any KO's. Despite this they fought their way to a tie in the middle of the second half, knowing that they would face a difficult defensive situation.

But then the tide turned. While the rotters had their bashers tied up in the front, the rest gathered around Gloinus the Glorious for a mighty gang foul. This failed, and suddenly the Skirmishers were left in a great position to blitz the ball carrier. Gloinus got to his feet and together with a couple of chaos dwarves rushing to his aid he tied up a lot of the beastman players, while Tushnak could blitz the ball carrier and snatch the ball up.

The rotters had to rely on blocks with rookie players against the able Skirmishers to get hold of the ball and failed this, giving Tushnak a chance to run in a TD in the very last turn of the match.

A rough fate for the Stovaa and his men, but a glorious win for the Skirmishers!

Thanks for the match!

Edit: To be honest not much lamer than your entire first half, but I understand that it felt worse since I came from really bad luck to making the important rolls enough to win the match.”
