“In this back to back rematch the Riders were looking to avenge their dorfhandling at the hands of this talented but brutal Ogre squad. They came better prepared as Worl had knuckledusters and Chet had been taking some special vitamins.
In the first half the Riders ganged up and Hal was able to score a few key fouls. But Calcium broke away, shadowed by Chet who was unable to get past the goblin escorts, and Uberskiller took the handoff to make it 1-0 at halftime.
In the 2nd half Riders began well by knocking down the Lovers LOS. Chet's hands were shaking due to the vitamins and the Riders fans spent a few anxious turns watching him bobble several pickups. Finally, with a gobbo closing, Chet managed a pickup and broke for the halfway line, pursued by Lill-Leif, the Lover who'd tackled him multiple times last match. It seemed like it would happen again, but a mouse got loose in the Lovers dugout (apparently looking for cheese) causing chaos at a crucial moment and letting Chet go unblitzed. For the rest of the match it seemed like several Ogres were unable to remember which way the ball went despite their coaches careful instructions, and Chet duly scored the equalizer.
Also noteworthy, longtime Riders Trollslayer Phin Finishem scored 2 CAS to finally achieve superstardom.
