“Recovery game for both teams who had one player out.

The Nethackers started in offence and were instantly on the backfoot when 1 of their 2 DPs was sent off after causing a stun on the first turn.

The Dwarves on their return foul SI MNG an AG4 Guard Blitzer to really put pressure on the Nethackers.

The Nethackers KOd the Dwarves Trollslayer, but the Dwarves put the killed a Nethacker player (apothed). Eventually, it came down to the Dwarves going for a GFI before moving other players and it came up snakes, allowing the Nethackers to send the ball forwards with a couple of screeners - if I had not done that play, till later, I would have put on more TZs to make it at least harder for my opponent to rush through with so many.

Anyways, the Nethackers stalled as long as they could before scoring.

With 2 turns to reply, the Dwarves were disadvantaged by a Blitz!, and they used a RR early on a GFI (of course!) and failed on their first GFI to try and bring a player into possible scoring distance next turn.

He was fouled (KOd) and it was 10 Dwavrves vs 9 Humans next drive, with the Nethackers Ogre SI late in the first half.

Luckily for the Nethackers, the Dwarves failed 3 from 3 KO rolls or they would have had to face 11.

The Nethackers got Perfect Defence for the kick off, and repositioned their players.

The Dwarves caged the ball and both teams probed and attacked isolated players to foul them, but again was the Dwarves who had the cas luck with the fouls, whilst the Nethackers only stunned.

Eventually DPs on both teams got sent off and the Dwarts advanced the ball.

The Nethackers make some difficult dodges (4+3+) to get a one dice pow and pick up the ball, standing in the endzone to hope for a lucky throw in when they were surfed, but the ball came in at an ok spot and the Dwarves salvaged a draw.
--------------
Well excellent play by Stonetroll,but it was not to be. With more armour on my side, exchanging a blitz and foul each turn was fine by me and his numbers fell fast and hard allowing me some extra players to protect the ball.

Hard for Stonetroll to win with my early and brutal cas on top of that, but still he played a great game.”
