The NWL Black Fire Pass Blitzers have put in quite a few seasons in the NWL, initially battling their way up to Veteran , to Premier and for the past several seasons have yo-yo-ed up and down between the two groups.
Last season was a break out session for the Blitzers who claimed the Veteran title undefeated and set themselves up for a big run this year in Premier.
Expecting a tough game from Ice Nine, the former Champions, this looked to be an all-out war with two division champs going toe to toe. As coach Johnny_Ryce said, the Dwarfs came out slugging and despite being out-fouled 6 to 1, the Dwarfs inflicted the reverse in casualties, 6-1. That was the tell tale difference.
Team Captian Jak Hammerbert, #58 was amazing this game, inflicting 3 casualties as well as stealing the ball and throwing it for a completion for a TD score. No wonder he was voted MVP of the game.
Both Blitzer runners scored, with newcomer Merill Hodge-Podge, #33 really taking to the game and scoring twice in this venue.
Ice Nine did their best, but really had no shot at winning this one. Yes, they were last seasons Champs. Now there's new Sheriff in town.....”
“WE ARE THE CHAMPS! WE ARE THE CHAMPS! WE ARE ...<crack>... ooowwwww....
Ice Nine fought its way to the top of the NWL last season winning the PREMIERE league. But they came down hard in their first match as returning chumps (er... champs). All-around good guy, Steel came out swinging and he hit hard.
With an IronManed Jak Hammerbert, and more agility than most elf teams, the dwarves were going to be tough. Even with a copious use of 'get the ref', Ice Nine could clear any dwarves off the field. They fought good defense, but the Blitzers would make some magic happen at the end of the half and score, inflicting many armor breaks and injuries on the way.
Half two was no better. More Niners fell and the Blitzers would score two more TDs, one in the closing seconds of the game. To make things worse, only one CD did anything noteworthy and he niggled on aging! Coach Ryce is scratching his head on this one. Did someone switch armor in the off-season?
My money goes on NWL BFPB to win it all this season. Well played!”
