“The Boyz started in offence, and targetted a lone Stand Firm Bull Centaur on the wing, knocking him down and fouling him (BH).

A deep kick however, left the Boyz a bit exposed and Crush made a 3+ dodge with their AG3 Bull Centaur who and he 2dice blitzed our Thrower and BH him! This was huge because without the BH, there were plenty of Orcs around to recover the ball...

A tense fight for the ball followed, and the Boyz had initial bad luck with some GFI on a OOB play (1, not 1, 1) to be at a disadvantage. The Crush also failed a GFI with the ball giving the Boyz a chance to chase them down (the ball was in the End Zone) but the Crush made their 3+ dodge and pick up to steal the lead!

Injury time gave the Boyz an extra turn to score, and they managed to get the ball deep and score with a 3+ dodge (with Dodge RR) but for the loss of their best BOB (Block Frenzy) who was fouled to deah (apoth failed). As a small consolation, the Crush DP was sent off for his transgression.

With one turn left in the half, the Boyz got a Blitz! and BH a Chaos Dwarf on the LOS leaving the Crush with only 9 players in the second half!

The second half saw a Pitch Invasion stun 3 Crush players and 2 Boyz. The Crush with only 6 players managed a KO and a stun to even up the numbers slightly.

However, the Boyz hit back, causing a BH on the remaining Bull Centaur (might have been fouled off). A Crush Hobbo niggled himself on a dodge and the Boyz slowly got more and more of an advantage (thanks also to a Mino doing Double Skull/Pows at the start of a turn) and the Boyz knocked the ball free.

The plucky AG4 Sure Hands Hobbo recovered the ball (needed a RR) and tried to punt it, but fumbled his attempt and the Boyz were finally able to pick it up and score the deciding TD.
----------
A tough game. Losing the BOB permanently on the apo fail was harsh as they take a long time to develop and he had a double. We probably should have dodged our Biltzer in the first turn to try and protect the ball carrier (give him an assist to make it harder for the Bull to get 2 dice), but it turned out ok as we were able to force the score and had enough time to score again.

Our luck with the casualties gave us a big advantage in the second half and we were able to capitalise on this as his numbers thined further.

Unfortunately we got crappo cash and no FF gain for despite 50% chance of a +1 thanks to +2 modifier.”
