“Our fans start things off the right way by scragging the ref before he can even blow the whistle!

We push forward, taking advantage of this by fouling every turn - our hobgoblins' favorite passtime! Turn 3 and we have seen 2 chaos dwarves make unlikely catches surrounded by enemies so we are pushing forward with a blocker holding the ball when Coggins unfortunately miscklicks and attempts an unlikely dodge with his kroxigor. With this free turn in hand we can easily get right upfield and do our best to hurt some lizards before scoring on turn 5. The lizards have 4 turns to come back but their attempts are truly woeful with simple blocks and pickups going awry so the half ends with us in the lead.

The crowd is disgusted by the lack of blood though, 8 fouls in 8 turns and the only damage is a single KO'd skink!! Our coach is going to impale some hobgoblins tonight!

The lizards start the 2nd half well, running their star AG4 skink through the side and we're forced into desparate measures to stop him: our bull tries to break tackle but falls onto some sort of explosive device! (luckily the apothecary saves his expensive hide from death). On their turn they kill a hobgoblin (which one? who knows!) and run in the equaliser.

Only 8 of us to set up now vs 10 lizards, though on the plus side they are out of rerolls and we still have 3. The rest of the half is a comedy style punchup around the side of the pitch with the lizards the only team likely to score - we manage to stop them with an amazing dodge + blitz by one of our dwarves and the game comes to an end at 1-1.

Good game Coggins!”
