“A close match in the OCCS Reeborc Stomp! For some reason the Foot Patrol plays well against Orcs.

Match began with two Foot Patrol players stunned by fans angry that Lariat Glacierwalker, the STR4 Line-elf, rumored to be nursing a sore shoulder all week, was fixed up pre-match by the teams apoth. In retrospect this turned out to be a wise decision as Lariat led the team in Rushing and Blocks thrown.

Da Skull Krush (DSK) caged relentlessly up the field, with engagements all over the pitch as the Foot Patrol tried to gang up on straggler orcs. A kick to the throat of Troll H'ragarth Horseripper inflicted a SI MNG, but to the delight of da Fans, he regenerated and only missed three turns nibbling on sweet buns on the sideline. Da Krush scored easily, Fozhuk Face-eater the Black Orc, showing the High Elf fans how its done by mambo-ing into the end-zone, bursting the ball with one hand, and hospitalizing some paparazzi that got too close.

The second half saw the Foot Patrol on offence. A b;otz by Da Skull Krush saw them penetrate both flanks. The of the Patrol strategy seemed simple. Get pounded into the turf, get up, dodge closer to the end zone. Repeat. With angry Orcs closing in, the Foot Patrol had to rush the ball up field and make a risky pass to tie the game up.

A well-placed kick by the High-Elves started the play deep in the zone. DSK again marched upfield, with the Foot Patrol dodging and keeping a close mark than in the first half. A last second goal-line stand with two 1d knockdowns, some graceful dodging, a lucky pick-up, and more dodges saw the High Elves rescue a tie. DSK ended the last few turns with double skulls, with the ball only a few paces away from their endzone.

Die were fairly even over-all, a little bit in my favor probably. A good match with an excellent opponent. ”
