“9 elves vs rostern's 9 humans! Handicap: virus- does nothing!

We start receiving in the pouring rain (unfortunately ruining our ambition of free completion SPPs), and start the fouls in turn 1 (a BH lineman!) to try and get a numbers advantage. Rostern swears revenge and in his first return block BHs one of our linemen! Nicely called :) We run in a fairly straightforward touchdown on our 4th turn after a bit of backnforth fouling from both teams.

The humans respond in kind, punching us up on the LOS (including a pow on our blodgetackler - followed by a foul .. eek! only stuns), and then running a 5 man cage up one side to score on turn 6.

The half ends with little other incident except another lineelf taking up residence in the BH box and both KO'd human catchers waking up for the 2nd half (7 elves v 8 humies). However our incensed fans get the ref at half time!

We do our best to foul the humans off the pitch while still trying to get at the ball. T1: stunned blitzer. T2 SI same blitzer (apo saves). T3 KO a catcher. (the humans get a ST4 lineman safe near our endzone here after a great move-pass-move in the rain). T4 stun a catcher. T5 BH same catcher. (the humans have been stalling for 3 turns now and we've finally got some players back so they are forced to score).

We set up 7 elves again vs just 4 humans this time (get the ref has proven effective while the humans were stalling for time). Can we equalise with our 3 turns- we have NO rerolls so could hinge on the dice!

T6 foul: stun ST4 lineman, T7: doesn't break armour on same lineman (we fail a pass we might need to score here, but kill their guard blitzer with a block!). T8: no foul- try and set up the equaliser score attempt with all our players but can't knock over one of the ST4s standing over the ball and then fail to pick up same ball. Cursed rain!

Cheers for the game and well won :)”
