“Chaos pact vs zakatan's norsemen.

We receive and start well, KO'ing both fend linemen on the LOS, and then on T2 managing to badly hurt an ulfwerner - which they spend their apo on to save. We switch sides and run it through to score on T5, but not before they have badly hurt a marauder with a -2d double POW block.

We kick off and they use their last reroll re-fumbling the pickup. We pile in a couple of players but that doesn't stop them recovering it and passing to the halfway line where a runner drops the catch. Our dark elf seizes the ball but then the ogre beside him fails his bonehead roll, leaving him exposed. Luckily their ulfwerner blitz comes up skull/both-down and they won't be able to score this half.

Our KO wakes up so we have 11 vs 12 as we kick for the second half- PITCH INVASION! Their DP catches the kick in the chaos that shows 5 of their players stunned and 3 of ours, including our mino. They blitz through, KO'ing our MB marauder, and the DP goes for a gang foul vs our troll- getting sent off!

Both teams swarm around the ball on the ground, trying and failing to secure it. They are getting better chances, twice knocking our troll onto the ball, and once failing a pickup with their thrower, but we have the upper hand in blocks and have 10 vs 8 on the pitch by T4. T5 and suddenly everything changes, as we clear space around the ball at last and grab it with a marauder. They are out of rerolls and can't threaten the ball carrier until T8 when they get an ulfwerner tackle zone on him. We set up for a 3d blitz with our mino and foolishly try and reroll his failed wild animal roll - loner eats the RR and our marauder then trips over dodging for the endzone!

GG zakatan!”
