5 handicaps, with Virus, It Wasn't Me and 2 MNG from last time left the Guardians with 10 starters.
Starting in offence the teams traded TDs until the score was 3-2 in the Guardians favour. With some lucky play, the Guardians were able to steal the ball with a blitz on the ball carrier and take the ball all the way up the other end of the pitch to take a 4-2 lead.
The revenge started in offence in the second half and scored easiy to narrow the score to 3-4 down.
The Guardians then had a run of horror luck with a missed pass allowing the revenge to apply the pressure. Then a fumbled pass allowed the revenge to take the ball and score to level the game at 4-4.
On the next drive, the Guardians again had a fumble at a critical point in time and again the revenge picked up the ball and scored, though not before the Guardians managed to know the ball free again.

It was a fun but tough game. I had fewer players and he had two Wardancers with Strip Ball (one with Tackle and MA9 and the other had AG5 thanks to Illegal Drugs).
Despite this, the Guardians managed to steal to hit the ball carrier a couple of times and steal the ball, scoring once on the steal. The Guardians also pulled off a OT score on a Perfect Defence.
revenge looked in trouble at 4-3 down and kicking, but the Guardians rolling 1s at 3 critical times with the ball allowed the revenge to score twice without once giving up a hit on the ball carrier!
As it often is with Elfbowl, it came down to who rolled the 1s at the worst time. However, no injuries and some cash makes for happy coaches on both sides. ”
