#4 Pat Jennings II – Dead (RIP) #10 Roger Joslyn – Smashed Knee (NI)
“Obba Premiership, Season 8 - Round 7 - Final Round
Here's what was up for grabs. A win here would see me crowned runnerup for sure, and a draw or loss would see Russo relegated, and his team hacked apart in trimming.
Things got off to a bad start, the handicaps were nothing short of pathetic, with extra training and palmed coin... and then one of my clawed Beastmen niggled out prematch.
First turn saw me roll two sets of double skulls and get nothing more than push backs/both downs... but I did have the ball in my hand. As the half developed it got more and more painful... with Russo's first foul resulting on a RIP... apoth worked though.... but now I was going to be even more nervy all game.
Things looked to be going Russo's way even further as early use of the wizard resulted in attack becoming a hastey defence. The Wizard killed the ball handler Roger Joslyn outright... and the ball was picked up by the greenskins.
This kicked the chaos into life... finally... as a well placed blitz spilt the ball again, and the chaos side counter attacked, racing up the field with the massed orcs too tied up to prevent it. 1-0 in the final turn of the half.
The second half was more of the same... the orcs just beat the chaos side into the ground, although their star str5 BO remained KO'd pretty much all game.
In turn 4/5 Russo's team scored... and all the Khornets had to do was hang on. It took a final turn of some luck for Russo to blitz the ball carrier, pick up the ball and make the completion to the awaiting blitzer to romp home for a glorious TD.
The orc fans couldn't believe their eyes, Somertown sighed deeply, and Wotfudboy could only offer a pathetic whimper... this was certainly not his best day at the office.
Well played Russo... your luck couldn't really be faulted, and you played a good game (for once! :p ). I on the other hand have 3 niggles now, and a dead player, and one more missing the next game, and just 30k now in the bank. Times will be tougher for my guys next season. Enjoy the win... I won't let my guys give you such an easy ride next time we meet! :)”
“In probably the game of the season for the Premier League watched by a massive crowd of fellow coaches, former champions B'Orcalona fought tooth and nail to stay in the top flight after a calamitous season where they had failed to click and been victim to some horrendous lack of extra-luck they had been accustomed to :P
Up against boogey-picking team Wotfud Hornets whom they have failed to beat, they needed a massive performance and it came in huge spurts, with 7 chaos players getting injured (if you include the wizzie fatality) and a last turn winner by B'Orca.
If you want to know what happned watch the game you lazy truckers it will be the most dramatic you can expect to see ever.
Thanks for all your loving guys its nice to be wanted so much and I enjoy being everybodies second fave team :-)
Good game Wotfud...victory for me at last!”
