“A brave challenge by the High Elves who looked favourates to win this game, but also favourates to get mauled in the process.

The High Elves with 3 (or was it 2) Str4 Players, pace and agility looked to good on both ends to be denied a victory, and things looked good early in the game when they KO'd the dangerous Worse Blitzer Loki with a foul, though they were also fortunate not to have an early turnover on a mistaken one dice block!

The Worse played aggressively and gambled on two GFI to start the turn, setting up a two dice blitz on the Str4 Dragon Warrior with Mighty Blow, downing him and BH him with a foul.

The Northwest responded by fouling and killing a Worse Lineman DP which coach Malthor apothed, to the surprise of both coaches!

The Worse played the man errr elf, rather than the ball and the dice were in their favour as their armour held out whilst High Elves were getting KOd and injured whilst both teams sunk the boot in on downed players. The match turned strongly in the Worse's favour when they killed the remaining Str4 Dragon Warrior on the pitch with a foul and successfully argued the call after being sent off by the ref!

The High Elves were starting to look exposed with only 5 players? on the pitch and scored, leaving 3 turns for the Worse to reply.

With only a few defenders, the High Elves played valiantly, but watched in shock as practically an entire cage sprinted their way through the middle (a 3+ dodge and then lots of GFIs).

As the clock ran down, the Worse ran in the equaliser with 2 GFI.

The second half saw the High Elves kick off with 10 players, but soon they were down to 9 as a foul by the Worse removed another from the pitch. The ref saw the foul and sent off the Worse DP so the Norse were down to 10 themselves.

The Worse caged the ball and both teams played to pick off players, with the Norse armour (or lack of it) holding out better than the High Elf armour. Both teams pushed a player out of bounds and looked for opportune fouls, but in the end the Norse had too many players - 6 vs 3 and dispite a late Bone Headed Ogre giving the High Elves a last minute chance to make the winning TD more difficult, the Worse made their 3+ hand off to seal the match 2-1.
----------------
A very brutal match.. If the armour and casualty rolls had been more even, it would have been a very tough proposition for me to stop all that pace and Str4.

Both of us played short of our ability (he did some one dice blocks by accident, and I misused Pro twice - once using it by accident instead of a Team RR, and once not using it when I had the option because I thought it was asking me to use a Team RR, guess I shouldn't try to play 17 different ranked teams and hope to keep up with them all!).

In the end, the dice were much friendlier to me, and very brutal for him on the armour and casualty side and I held out through superior numbers.

Texan, you are a top coach and your day against me will come. Catch you around dude.”
