“Started off reasonably, snatching a score and almost holding off the woodies who equalised at the end of the half with a stellar play.

Gatts definitely elf-bowls better than I and was patient and meticulous as he wove his way down field. He adroitly prized open some gaps which he then exploited to take the lead.

The BBBs chance at an equaliser was foiled by a failed hand-off and the woodies were able to race in for a third.

I was a little disappointed at my mighty elfs inability to inflict any lasting pain on their wooded brethren. Not even their haughty boots could add to the tally, resulting in more disappointed fans.

A fun match, although I felt like most of the time I was playing defense, poorly.”
