“Our ogres face lawman's rookie skaven, our first game that isn't against against ogres! We give up one handicap of morley's revenge (egads), affecting an ogre and a gobbo (we have no subs).

The morley'd ogre can't leave the toilet for the first drive but we make it 10 vs 10 on the pitch straight away by MNG'ing one of their linerats; though we fail to pick up the ball. Their gutter runner dashes through but with 2 gobbos beside it he fails to snatch it up. We counter by stunning him and then rush the ball into their half. A SV dodges to blitz him but even rerolled 4 dice can't find a both-down or a pow.

T5 and they get it at last, KO'ing our gobbo. A SV trapped against the sidelines by an ogre -2d blocks him for double both-down, badly hurting him! We try for a -2d blitz of our own with a gobbo for the crowdpush... but get double skulls!

Luckily they get a turnover with poor block dice right after this and we're able to nip the ball right up into the corner, to score on our T8.

Despite having 0 rerolls left they go for the chainpushes for a 1turn TD... and with some 1d blocking, a linerat completion, a catch in a tackle zone and 2 GFIs ... make it!

1-1 for the second half as we kick with 8 vs their 9. A touchback lets them handoff to a SV who rushes into our half, while we counter with a BH + an MNG while getting players back. They KILL an ogre who we save with the apo and then blitz past a gobbo to double GFI and make it 2-1!

Morley's strikes our ogre again so we have 8 vs their 7 now. It's only T2 of the half and suddenly their team starts to disappear: KO + niggle at first, then a niggle T3 and a BH T4 while we run the ball into their half. They are out of players and when we can crowdpush their GR (stun) they have finally run out of ways at getting at the ball. Deciding they are more likely to score a 3rd than us, we stall out the last couple of turns with some harmless gang fouls and make it 2-2 just before the final whistle.
