“"Holy Smackaroli Blood Bowl fans! Welcome to the Soupbowl and a meat grinder game between the Warriors and OAU! Smelly Dave have you ever seen anything like that last play?"
"No, sure as sure Billy Bob. After twenty years reporting in this game and almost 60 years playing for the ABBA Undedground, I'm glad that even I can be suprised at some times! I haven't had a heart rate this high since my mom caugth me in bed with myself!"
"Wow, wow Smelly Dave, thats a little to much information."
"Hey thats what my momma also said!"
"Urm.....well Dave lets go back to the game shall we? It was just two turns left and the game was a tie after an incredible Ogre TD. The dwarves lined up and got the ball straight up from a bad kick. Then what happened Smelly Dave?"
"Well the little buggers ran like a cat with mustard up the hole. Sweet Nuffle Balls of Fire. The speed they came up with! Yiahaaaaa! Grebbestad Ansjovis took the ball up deep into OAY territory and Brännvinskryddad Sill came in support. Waiting there was Nu'Guk. The nr 1 for the Ogres threw a mean block at Grebbestads who went down and lost the ball!"
"And this is where we all thought it was game over! Right Dave?"
"Sure as sure Billy Bob. But in the next turn Kung Carl Gustav came in from deep down the Warriors lines and reallt went for it. With him in support Grebbestad went up and blocked away one Ogre so Brännvinskryddad Sill could get a straight line to the ball. Swift as that hooker who stole my money this morning he went in and scooped the ball up despite Nu'Guks futile efforts to stop him. He then easily dodged out and sprinted for a TD in the very last second of the game!"
"An unbelivable feat. For a dwarf team I mean"
"Sure Billy Bob. But coach Magan174 likes to play a good running game with his stout buggers. We have seen that during the seasons."
"Yep, you are right there Smelly Dave. Do you think you can get a word with Coach Magan174?"
"I'll try. He is coming this way now. On the shoulders of a group of fans in the Warriors replica jerseys. Hey coach Magan174! Any words for ABBA Sports Update?!"
"Well hello Smelly Dave! Any words? Well we won! And what a way we did it in?!"
"Sure thing. One of the best endings I've seen in a long while. You had some real luck in the end?"
"Luck!? Luck is something a great team earns Smelly Dave. Great players, great playbook, patience and a Trollslayer on Fungus. Thats all you need!"
"He he he. Sure as sure coach Magan174. What do you think about the next game?! Hey coach Magan174! Well Billy Bob we are loosing him. He is going up the stands with the fans. And I'm not going after. Took me four days to collect myself last time and a small fortune to get a good Necromancer to patch me up."
"He he he. I understand that. Did you ever find good finger or are you still using that left over from the Hot Dog vendor?"
"Oh No Billy Bob. That finger is gone since last summer when that dog sneaked up on me in the park."
"Good to hear. That finger of yours always made me hungry. Good nigth Blood Bowl lovers. This is ABBA Sports Update with the Ghoul of Drool, Smelly Dave, and me Billy Bob. Until next time." ”
“OAU, having lost in the finals for the ABBA Cup last season, to the Abba Warriors, came into this rematch with something to prove.
The ogres lost the toss and kicked the ball to the dwarves. Both teams met midfield and the melee was on. OAU came out really strong on defense, taking out a troll-slayer and setting up a pretty solid defensive wall. The Warriors answered right back, taking out a rookie ogre and establishing a hole in the wall of ogres. With a single chance remaining to stop the dwarves from the score, Dar' Mal loses his train of thought, forgetting to take out the ball carrier. The warriors score, taking a 1-0 lead.
On the ensuing kick, OAU manages to clear a wide hole in the dwarven defense. Although, time is running short, so Doom' Grad grabs a hold of Booska and successfully launches him to within scoring range... unfortunately, Booska stumbles and falls just short of the endzone as the first half comes to an end.
OAU gets the ball to start the second half and manages to pull off a long drive that results in a touchdown to tie the game at 1-1. Bru' Lar somehow managed to pick up and stumble in for the tying score, after the last remaining goblin on OAU was knocked out of the game. Brännvinskryddad Sill of the Warriors played amazing defense on the drive, but OAU started to clear some dwarves off the pitch and eventually simply overwhelmed the stalwart Warrior defenders.
With only moments remaining in the match, OAU kicks the ball to the Warriors. A bad kick gives the Warriors the ball on the line of scrimmage, in the hands of their fastest runner. The Warriors drive the ball deep into OAU territory with two ogres to beat. OAU plays the defense almost perfectly, knocking the ball carrier down and the ball ends up in the midst of both of the OAU defenders. This is when Nuffle smiled upon the Warriors. The Warriors make an amazing block to move one of the ogres away from the ball. Then Brännvinskryddad Sill proceeds to run between the legs of the remaining ogre, pick up the ball, evade him and sprint into the end zone... to end the game.
Notes: Not much I could have done differently. This was a great game. One that could have been a 2-1 win for me, a 1-1 (maybe even 2-2) draw or a 2-1 win for Magan. There was a two touchdown swing in his favor, due to bad luck for me at the end of the half and good luck for him at the end of the game. Very tense game though. Magan is a class act and a very good coach. Til we meet again brother.”
