“In their first match, the Holy Cliffs won the toss and elected to receive in the sweltering heat. They took full advantage of moving first KOing one lineman and with a pair of gutter runners lose in the warriors back lines, it only took 2 turns to score

The warriors returned the KO, but were still outnumbered due to the heat. A failed Gutter dodge on the second action of the turn produced another KO and left the cliffs badly out of position
The next few turns saw the warriors grind down the sideline, virtually unopposed as the skaven were left out of position by a sequence of failed dodges the skaven realised that they weren't going to steal the ball and began to focus on gaining an advantage for the second half, but were ineffective

So the second half began, with the Cliffs fielding 7 against the Warriors 9, instantly, the ref called injury time, leaving the teams just 7 turns to find the winning score. It wasn't looking good for the Cliffs, when the Warrior's ogre blitz against a storm vermin turned sour, with a Skull/Pow the best result the ogre could pick, putting him on his back.

Suddenly the Cliffs could flood the back field and threaten the ball before the Warriors had the chance to build any sort of cage, however when they were still outnumbered and things were looking bad, when the warriors catcher failed the pick up and the ball, which had been deep, bounced into the end zone.

Even so, it took a desperate one dice blitz including a dodge into a TZ and a GFI for the Cliffs to steal the second score.

The Warriors third offence began more smoothly, until a GFI from the ball carrying blitzer failed, giving the cliffs the opportunity to secure the ball, a sequence of blitzes and counter blitzes left the ball in the middle of the warriors half with no one in range of a score (the one remaining GR lying stunned beside the ball) and so the Holy Cliffs first match ended, a 2-1 win with no Cas suffered.”
