“Ogre vs Ogre. We're at 155/139 while Fhooogha's are at 195/164, giving us two handicaps. Both teams have 8 ogres, but they have an extra gobbo sub as well as 3 RRs vs our lonely one.

They have FIVE nigglers, and one (an ogre) refuses to play. We get doom & gloom to reduce their RRs to one for the first half + knuckledusters for a gobbo and are chosen to kick.

They start well, KO'ing two ogres early on, and then running the ball straight through into our half with their MA7 gobbo before scoring on T5 without trouble.

We have two ogres in the KO box and neither wakes up so we're outnumbered as we receive the kick. We rush the ball forwards in our MA6 ogre's hands after a touchback, but they force us back and defend well. They burn their apo on a MNG and we then KILL an ogre a couple of turns later, but we never get close to scoring.

They have MNG'd a gobbo and KO'd our +AGI one, and 3/3 of our KOs remain sleeping so we have just 8 vs 11 for the 2nd half, while they have their 3 rerolls back now... ouch!

We start well though, KILLING a gobbo and BH'ing an ogre in the first two turns, while they niggle a gobbo attempting to toss him at the ball carrier. They then manage to double GFI to blitz our gobbo with the ball for a BH and the ball goes loose in a scrum of ogres. T5 and they grab it in a tackle zone and make several dodges to break free... but then fumble the pass to a waiting gobbo downfield. We blitz back and BH him but can't make the pickup with our only gobbo on the pitch. They steal the ball once again but this time we KO both their remaining gobbos, though we fumble the ball again. It's T7 now so we run an ogre into range of the endzone and on T8 he catches the handoff and makes the GFI to make it 1-1!
