“SWL Season 27: Gone's Slipper Conference League- Game 2

A tough game for the Vermin, where we were massively outnumbered most of the time, suffered some casualties to rookie Linerats, but managed to squeak out a victory at the end.

The opening kick saw German fans storm the field, and knock down half of the Norse. The Beardies managed to get the ball, but in the broken play that followed Germany managed to sack the Norse thrower, and score first through Kaiser Wilhelm.

The Norse then used the rest of the first half to grind the ball downfield, and reduce the Vermin to 5 players, facing up against 9 Beardies, and level up the scores.

With Hess dead, and Burkhalter seriously injured, the second half got underway. The Vermin manufactured a TD with only 5 players on the field, Wilhelm finding space and streaking away for his second TD.

The Beardies once again marched downfield almost unopposed, and evened the scoreboard once more with 1/4 of the game left to go.

Once again the Vermin only had 5 players, but once again that prooved to be enough, as Wilhelm completed his hattrick.

The Asgardians had 3 turns left to salvage a draw, but some Perfect Defense combined with some stifling play from Wilhelm to see the Beardies fumble when it counted, and the Vermin pull out a typically miraculous victory,
