“Pact vs Collinisimo's slann. We get 50k to buy a babe for the game.

They have several nigglers and several -av players and a squad of 11 for the game, so hopefully we can cut them down to size with some early injuries - though with 7 RRs there will be an awful lot of leaping to deal with.

We kick off to a swarm of frogs on one side of the pitch - and what do you know, our kick lands perfectly for them in the hands of a catcher on that side. They rush into our half but a double 1 GFI stops them with only half their team pushed through, so we can get our tackle/tail marauder by their catcher with a few players behind him hoping to stop the leap attempt. Unfazed the catcher leaps over, dodges at -2 with a RR and then 2+ dodges on to make it 1-0.

We receive the kickoff and move forwards, keeping in a big bunch to minimise their chances at getting at the ball. They have guard on two catchers though, so it's hard for us to stop them getting a 2d leap blitz in - luckily they fail the 3+ leap a couple of times, and roll up 1s on the final GFI another time, and we're able to stall out the last few turns of the half (unwilling to give them an offense again this half) before making it 1-1.

2/4 of their KOs return so they have 9 vs our 11 as they kick and once again we cage up tightly. T3 and we mistakenly pick both-down with our tackle/tail marauder, and they take advantage getting in 4dice vs our ballcarrier- but blodge saves the day and they just can't knock him over! We stall out more turns, and finally on T5 they get a single die blitz that rolls a POW. Their sure-handed catcher dodges in past a tackle zone and back out with the ball and passes it to another catcher to one side. We quickly 3d blitz him into the KO box, but their sure handed catcher steals the ball again and this time makes the long pass downfield to their last catcher.

It looks dodgy now but our tackle/tail marauder has been marking him and now knocks him over and gets the ball. Their sure-hander goes for the -2db blitz... getting a POW and a both-down! He needs 2GFIs and a couple 3+ dodges to try and get the ball.. but trips over!

We then manage to pick up the ball, make the handoff to our rat, and with a single GFI make it 2-1!

Exciting stuff Collinisimo!”
