“We're up against def909's orcs... but what's this? Nobbla has taken money from BOTH teams and has run off with it! The cheatin git!! As usual vs orcs at this rating they have the advantage in numbers and in skills- hope we can overcome it!

They kick and we immediately go to 10 players for the game when our first foul KOs a black orc and gets our DP sent off. They soon follow this up with a badly hurt scored on our only guarder. Unless we suddenly get a pile of cas this is not going to end well!

But the rolls don't come our way and the orcs are playing a solid game, soon knocking the ball free. Eventually it lands in the surprised hands of a black orc, but we do well and manage to hold them back from our side of the pitch til the half ends.

We set up 9 vs 11 as we kick for the second half and they immediately make things almost impossible KO'ing our troll and a beastman on turn 1. They then advance as slowly and as safely as possible, ensuring there is no way we can get at the ball, and with so few players there really isn't. By turn 4 they have KO'd another 2 players and badly hurt a beastman, leaving us 4 players on the pitch vs 10. They stall out the remainder of the half putting in gang fouls (though fortunately their DP was sent off on foul #2) turn after turn, finally scoring in their last turn to end yet another game where chaos is outmatched and a real chore to play.”
