“Tough, tough armwrestle of a game in which a few important rolls went our way.

GG Ebe, and gl in the rest of the season.

***************

Reavers faced a tough match up vs a solid dorf outfit in Sartosa. The Dorfs decided receive in the first half, but a sneaky Orc Perfect Defence put them on the back foot from the start. The massed orcish line drove them backwards, removing one and seeing another sent off for fouling - 10 v 9 to the orcs. The Dorfs, getting desperate, tried a move down the right, but a DT stopped a dodge leaving the ball carrier exposed to ... The Duke. The Duke rushed him, pushed him back and marked him... the next turn, the Duke bashed the blodger to the ground and veteran Ray Mabbut pounced to secure the ball. The orcs then stalled for 3 turns to score in the 8th. 1-0 to Reavers.

Second half began with the Orcs determined to hold for a safe 1-0 win, but this plan changed when the ball was booted out of play ... a chance to skill a BoB! Seraisaluckaz was handed the ball, and he took cover in the mauling cage. Things went fairly smoothly as the Dorfs were soon down to 8 (v 10), and the orcs controlled things to score in T16.

Solid game in which we had the luck (and avoided any real bad luck) often enough to make the game safe.

Roll on the undeads. ”
