“That's more like it! Some proper Bowlers to face off against this time.
And as the first half rolled on I was pleased to see the boys had taken the schooling I gave them after the last one to heart. We never gave those fierce-looking Norsemen an inch! Our stout defense locked down their charge right from the whistle, and we were able to swing the momentum in our favour with a few KOs and a BH towards the end of the first half, ending neatly with a TD for Haldan Boulderdash thanks to an uncommon show of dexterity from Nyrath Orchammer.
The second half started off with a Norse defense blitz, which was luckily quite inefficient. Their minotaur apparently wasn't given enough food during halftime and he threw a fit just when they'd set up a neat breakthrough blitz for him. It seemed we could hardly do anything wrong today, the boys were on fire with their blocks, and this time they had their armour strapped on properly and didn't spend much time dazed on the grass. Haldan passed the ball to Gilbar Silverheel, who took it all the way while the rest of the team kept the rabble at bay, giving a few more Norsemen something to remember them by. The rest of the 2nd half was fairly uneventful, with a bit of a scuff on the Line of Scrimmage. For a moment it looked like they might score after all, but a solid blitz by one of our 'Beards stopped the blitzer in his tracks in the nick of time.
So a well fought victory tonight, and I for one sure hope the boys have learned their lesson. You need to always be in top form if you want to make it in this game. A few of the boys mentioned wanting to try some new stuff in next practice that they'd seen out on the pitch tonight. Who knows, maybe they've even learned something new, though what could get through those thick skulls I do not know. It sure isn't good sense and careful tactics!
-----------
Thanks for the match, clarkin, it was a fun one, and not as uneven as one might think just looking at the numbers. You put up a good fight, but there's only so much a man can do when you're down to 7 men on the pitch.
It was a pleasure. Maybe we'll meet again on the pitch some day.”

They choose to kick, and we start a big old fashioned brawl up and down the line of scrimmage. The dwarves are giving out the punches just as well as taking them, eventually getting two runners through our lines towards the ball which we have failed to pick up several turns in a row. We're able to dodge a couple linemen back though and then throw one of the runners out of the field into their reserves box. Still no luck getting the ball though and the dwarven pressure is coming to bear!
In the end the dwarves put more and more of our players in the KO box (and one in the BH box) and eventually score on turn 8 despite our last ditch effort to throw the ball downfield.
2/3 wakeups mean we have 10 vs 11 for the 2nd half and immediately roll a blitz! This lets us run a couple players into their half though our blitz attempt is wasted by our mino with a 1. It doesn't slow them down at all, as they KO our player nearest the ball, recover it and pass it away from the sideline. And things just get worse for us as they push through with the ball, badly hurting another two of our norse players on their way. They then KILL our DP (as yet unused this half) though our apo saves him and score on turn 4 to make it 2-0.
We haven't even managed to KO a dwarf yet, despite repeated mino piling on attempts... lets get some casualties! Their fans then get the ref! We immediately foul with our DP for another stun and since they never foul back to take the eye off us, neither do we. We grab the ball and with some risky 0RR dodges make our way up one side of the pitch- but their 1d blitz is able to knock our blitzer out and the game will end 2-0!
In the end we managed not to get a single SPP apart from the MVP, and only managed one injury above a stun the whole game (a KO). Truly uninspiring stuff.
Well won InkRose!
