“Our necros want revenge vs Caralad's ogres, who humiliated us 2-0 last time they faced off! Since then the ogre team has rolled no less than 3 +ST skillups plus a horde of other skills!

On the plus side this means they give us 2 handicaps and we roll Morley's Revenge AND I am the greatest- which will both remove players from setup!

4 Ogres and 1 gobbo (the DP) set up for the first drive. We take advantage of the numbers situation to try and ignore the ogres and chase around after the gobbo who's dodging in and out of his ogre buddie's legs, trying to hide from our wolf and ghoul. Eventually we manage to claw him down with a werewolf blitzing, KO'ing him. However this has the side effect of leaving howler right in the middle of 3 ogres! The ball scatters onto igor who fails to dodge away for several turns, but equally isn't knocked over either, facing multiple ogre blocks. Eventually he's taken down and the gutsy ogre captain (with pro) makes the pickup and runs for the endzone. On their final turn he would have failed his bonehead roll but pro saves the day and they run it in to go 1-0 up!

Second half and with morleys and a KO neither goblin can be fielded so it's us vs 5 ogres (two are str 6!!). We try and push through with the wolf and ghoul but break tackle and pro are proving useful and they are taken down with ease. However Igor proves his worth when he blitzes up from prone and with a single dice block KILLs an ogre! (admittedly the worst of the lot, just one skill) However the ball is in the middle of all the ogres so we go for a daring play - run a zombie in and have him scatter it out. But somehow he picks it up right in front of 2 ogres!! He manages the handoff behind him to our waiting wolf and we set up a screen of players. The ogres cannily manage to knock down the wolf but the scatter is kind and we're able to recover with our ghoul to run downfield for the equaliser!

This lets us bring out newly-raised Squish! Though he no longer has his ogrely strength but we won't let that stop him. We push players up to make it hard for the ogres to try for a thrown touchdown but that doesn't stop star player Munch who breaks tackle over to the goblin (several squares back from the halfway) and, standing in our ghoul's tackle zone throws the goblin at maximum distance..

It's a fumble! no- wait ... his pro kicks in and instead it's accurate!! and the gobbo has landed and runs in the winning touchdown!

We wuz robbed! Well won Caralad, I'll get you next time when you go for the kill on Zombie-Squish
