“The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man is now guaranteed a place in H League history scoring the opening touchdown of a compelling match in front of a record crowd of 58,000, mostly Welf fans. The score came after a barrage of hard hitting which saw three Rangers dragged from the field unconscious.

The, some would say, surprise lead was short lived with Belladonna keeping up his amazing scoring record - now 7 games 7 TDs. There was some close fought play leading upto half time with the Warriors spilling possession but managing to go in at half time level.

The Rangers came out no doubt still smarting from the early battering they had received. Their fans weren't happy either. The Commission will also be examining footage and considering the referees report of two incidents of missiles being thrown onto the field - the second time stunning the disappointing and ineffectual Ogre Cybil.

The Rangers collected the kick off and played conventionally creating a defensive cage for the ball carrier. This was just a distraction from the fireworks in the centre of the field, a play which showcased the devastating diversity of skills of the Welf team. Celandine, a thrower who played his college blood bowl as a blitzer took advantage of the prone ogre and burst from the centre of the line of scrummage heading for the end zone in the corner. Mr Sandman stood in his way. Mr Sandman will never stand again. In a blood curdling crunch of a tackle the hapless warrior was wasted and was grimly reaped.

Celandinde found time to acknowledge the hit to his adoring crowd before continuing his run to the end zone. At this point Narcissus through one of his laser guided missiles which Celandine collected unopposed.

The way back for the Warriors was blocked and sealed forever when the Rangers natural crowd pleasing ability - which explains their huge fan following - freed from the early anxiety of the match blossomed like spring cherry tree. Simple is beautiful is one of the Welfs many mantras. Blood Bowl is not a complicated game. Knock your opponent over, pick up the ball, run with it then throw it long and straight to one of your team that can catch, it will help if he has positioned himself in the end zone for the occasion.

An all round performance from the Rangers outclassing the Warriors in every department. An early and ominous message goes out to the rest of the league - who can stop the Rangers?”
