“Our necros face bert28's dwarves. Both teams have a 6/1/0 record so far... looks like one of these teams may have their first loss today!

We have just 12 players available so it could be difficult for us. Lets hope our wolf is on form!

We kick and they start well, badly hurting one of our zombies on turn 1 and then pushing up solidly with the ball. We never manage to dislodge it or even threaten it well and they score on turn 5 after KILLING a zombie (regen this time) on the way.

We have 4 turns to score but a kick that lands right by the side of the LOS (away from our huddle) makes things difficult. The dwarves are also defending excellently, and it's only a risky reroll-less dodge on turn 7 that gets us anywhere near scoring. Fortunately they aren't able to get to him, failing a key GFI and we're able to equalise!

They've niggled a zombie during those last few turns so we'll have just 10 vs 11 for the 2nd half. And then our fans get the ref!! Our first DP foul KILLS their MB dwarf and their apo is rushed onto the field to save his life. However on turn 3 that very dwarf KILLS the DP zombie!! Meanwhile we are struggling to get any space with the player disadvantage (though we have badly hurt a dwarf with a block) and haven't been able to keep fouling either. Soon both teams run out of rerolls and the game hangs in the balance of a few key rolls- and luckily they fail a crucial dodge letting us get downfield, stall for a single turn and then make it 2-1!

The dwarves have 2 turns to try and equalise, but we roll up a blitz to interfere with their attempt! This means it's going to be very difficult for them, but they still manage an attempt, running their troll slayer through on turn 7 as a lone possible receiver. We can only push him and on turn 8 he dodges and sprints into the end zone... their runner with the ball advances and goes for a long, long pass.... but doesn't make it!!

Great game bert28! You owe me a zombie!!”
