#1 Bobby Skilton – Smashed Knee (NI)
#1 Bobby Skilton – Broken Ribs (MNG)
“this was a weird match.
The already undermanned Dwarfs suffered heavily in the first turn of the relatives with a stun and a KO meaning that there was a need for a few risks and one dice blocks. Sometimes these came off, sometimes they failed. Ultimately I was lucky to get a guy close enough to the ball carrier in the last turn and SongCoyote was unlucky when his attempt to blitz the ball carrier clear failed.
The second half saw the Rovers receive but they barely touched it before the skeletons took it off them with some amazingly good (skeleton pickup in a TZ) and amazingly bad (same skelly trying to dodge and KO himself) luck.
Overtime saw the ball with the Dwarfs again but just when Bobby Skilton seemed about to get free down the pitch for the win a dodge GFI blitz from a mummy stopped him in his tracks and SId him. When the ball bounced deep and the Thro-ra failed to pick it up it gave the rovers one last desperate attempt to win but the 1 dice blitz - pickup - GFI for the TD move was too much for Stuart Spencer and the result came down to the coin.
Glad to get my first cup win, but SongCoyote was probably better on the day and very unlucky to lose.”

Redgum was quite gracious in his victory, and I must agree that the Visiting Relatives had a better day on the field than Redgum's Rovers... but neither of us managed to succeed where it really counted: over the goal line. The fans were on the Khemri side, but the coin was not - c'est la vie!
Congrats to Redgum for keeping my hard-hitting Mummies at bay long enough to secure the tie that won the tourney for him. 'Twasn't easy, but he took good risks and we both had fun playing. In the end, what more could one ask for?
Well, maybe a coin flip in my favor (every tourney win or advancement that has come down to a flip for me has gone my opponent's way) but that's not reason enough to withold my congratulations to my opponent!
Cheers,
SongCoyote”
