“Dragon's Deck's 50th match! Coach Nathaniel's first team with the big "5,O." He's got a couple other teams in the high 40's in games played and it was just a matter of time before one of them hit this landmark. The match itself was close in the first half and had the Wishmaster soaked in sweat. With the Dwarks recieving the ball they quickly scored by breaking through the DD defensive line held by Aravan. The strong Dark Elf player, Troy seemed like he had a vendetta against the wiry High Elf as he blitzed him repeatedly throughout the game. Aravan adjusted his style and Troy was not able to break through again keeping the DD backfield relatively safe.

With the High Elves recieving they let the rookie Drisden run the ball. Not long after he was stripped of it by Bakka the leaping Dark Elf star. A bold move into tackle zones by Moove extracted the ball out of danger and passed it to Chrashet who was on the other side of the field. It looked like DD was soon to be staring out of a 0-2 hole. Once again, Eraldryn saved Coach Nathaniel's skin as he was able to catch Chrashet just at the knick of time and bring him down causing a fumble which ended up in his hands. Few plays later and Aravan scored a touchdown by an Elbereth handoff.

The second half began and DD gave the ball to Drisden again and again he was stripped of the ball. This time the ball was knocked out of bounds but the mostly High Elven crowd threw it right at the goal line. The speedy Witch, Zodge tried to recover it but failed leaving her team in a bad position. Eraldryn ran up to her and thrust kicked her out of bounds. Drisden ran up to the ball to make up for his butterfingers and finally scored.

Dwarks wanted to make this a ballgame and after a failed break through Aravan, Coach Barsk went to plan B. Barsk was to tip toe along the sidelines in hopes of getting into the DD backfield. He was tripped up as he tried to dodge through Kensai's tackle zone. He landed on his head and was knocked out for the rest of the drive. With the botched play, Eraldryn saw his chance and went to sack the QB, Smack. Smack panicked and threw a wild pass just as Eraldryn slammed into his chest seriously injuring him. The ball was knocked into the air and intercepted by the High Elven Catcher. The crowd went crazy with the play. Touchdown Dragon's Deck!

Dwarks recieved the ball and had a very rough time getting their plays to work. Another turnover had Drisden with the ball and into the endzone for the fourth and final DD goal of the match.

Good game, barsk! It was close in the first half but the luck kind of went south for you after that. Rematch anytime, mate.
