“A belated edition to the match report;) - having to make a quick exit post game.
It was indeed a very enjoyable game, and despite the enforced departure of 'Gavin Atkinson' the YHA Handbookers will be back.. at some point... we think.
The game was played with relaxed conversation, nice banter and the occasional double outrage at the referee for sending off DP's
“One of my most enjoyable matches in a long time. Loads of casulties and very nice chatting. We had a total of 11 cas, which i guess is nice for teams with so few MBs.
The game started with a foul fest, where both sides tried to take out key players or just retaliate. The ball was a second objective we tried to ignore. Both apos were used within the first couple of turns so both of us were a bit nervous for our players.
Second half gave me a lot of luck, made some lucky cas with my withces. Scored fast due to large pressure from the defence. The number of players on both sides made defending easier since no cage could be made and i made a lucky 2-1 score. It still gave Esceulus 2 turns to equalise but a hand off failed. I draw would have been a more fair result.
Sad that Esceulus lost a couple of players, which was on normal blocks, but he took it with good grace and was a nice bloke to play with.
On the more sad side, my star blitzer Blitzy the Cursed decided yet again not to play, making it 4 out 5 games after he niggled on ageing. He truely deserves his name.
Thanks for the game Esceulus. Was great fun”
