“Semi final of Scheduled Smack Pro XXII.

Handicap in my favour was illegal drugs, so my tackler got +ST to see if she could get rid of some zons. She certainly could...

I won the toss and chose to receive. I pushed a couple on the LOS, but then my tackler KOd Zara who had been left out in the open. This continued for the first three turns, with the tackler removing Zara, a guard lino and the diving tackle/blodge catcher.

The ref certainly had his eyes open, which was thankful for me as Buur fouled a lot, as he sent off three players without the eye on them - including Dodge or Die's dirty player. Cheers ref.

As it was, Buur concentrated on trying to remove my drugged up tackler and blitzers, without much luck, and I was able to score relatively easily in turn 8. I did lose Margaret II to a niggle though, and she was forced to retire after the game.

Second half and Dodge or Die! have all the players I KOd back. I'm down to 10, but that doesn't last long as another player is sent off for fouling. Then on a 1 dice block, Line Baun Danielsen bites the dust from a proper smack from Siobhan.

At this stage, Buur has the ball comfortably in a cage, but can't seem to knock too many players over. That changes when I employ the wizard, who knocks over the ball carrier and a guarding blitzer - for no injury - leaving me with a chance to steal the ball.

Les Ouiseaux do just that, and are able to form a rough cage of their own. That said, Buur is able to blitz twice with 2 dice, but can't get the pow he needs to drop my blitzer. I am then able to knock a couple of opposition players down and dodge the blitzer away.

Buur throws players at the blitzer in an attempt to knock her down, but is unable to get the dice he needed and I am able to steal a cheeky second with my MA7 blitzer.

Great winnings means I have the option of Zara against PurpleChest's chaos dwarves (hmmm, might need her!). Thanks for the game Buur, I had the better dice probably but my team really made the most of it.”
