The poor Crazy Cavaliers forgot to wear their armour - two kills and one BH in the first half gave us just enough advantage in man-power to frustrate any Dwarven attempts to break through, particularly as the Cavaliers were unable to inflict any casualties themselves.
The rain made the game a bit of a slog in the middle of the pitch, with the ball on the ground more often than not (with one scattering ball being fumbled by five players in succession!). A couple of quick one-man breakaways and passes by us were foiled by smart blitzing, but in reply, they were unable to punch a hole through my defenses. Eventually, a scattered ball fell nicely, was picked up and thrown to a lone man bursting through the middle. This time the Crazy Cavaliers were over-commited after a drive down my right flank, so they could not get a defense back quick enough. A couple of turns of stalling (and putting the boot in to stop any potential casualties) and the match was won.”
