“Fumbbl Minors 150- round 1 and we're facing dwarves. Could be tough but there's just 11 of them so any injuries and we'll get a useful numbers advantage.

They push up one side but good blitzing by our mummies lets us knock out the runner with the ball. The crowd throw the ball down to the middle of our try line and despite our best efforts and a lack of rerolls the dwarves are able to make a 1d blitz, get a good bounce and then pick it up to score on turn 5. With 4 turns left in the half we have to hurry on the counterattack, pushing our slowboned skeletons to the fastest moves they can make and just manage to score on turn 8 with a handoff from one agi 3 to the other to even the game!

However with only 1 out of 6 dwarves in the KO box waking up they will only have six dwarves for the start of the 2nd half! We capitalise on the numbers advantage (almost 2 to 1) to push upfield with a skeleton with the ball (touchback) and by turn 3 all the dwarves are marked by either a mummy or several skeletons and they decide to spend their final 5 turns lying on their backs refusing to stand up. Unfortunately our only dirty player has been KO'd so we can only try and foul them with regular players - one skeleton does 4 fouls in a row on the same prone dwarf (+3 assists) without being thrown out or hurting him!

With this display of cowardice legions of fans defect from the dwarves to follow our team's progress from now on. We score totally unopposed on our final turn to win the game and advance in the tourney.
