“Gobbos vs Bert's norsemen. With 50k of inducements we handily pick up a bribe.

We receive and start fairly well with a lineman -STR injured and another KO'd vs a gobbo BH'd trying to dodge through. They then go for a 1d blitz with their snow troll vs the ball carrier, picking both-down... the gobbo is stunned and their big guy is badly hurt!!

Our DP gobbo catches the ball and we run him forwards for another foul- but the ref sends him off disregarding our bribe!! Luckily once again the ball has scattered into a gobbo's hands and we rush it towards their endzone, getting our sneaky git sent off fouling the following turn, though our saw has BH'd a tackler which will certainly help things.

Their runner can reach the ball with a few dodges and knocks it free, catching it on the bounce! They cover our saw (#1 threat vs blodge) but a +STR gobbo can find the POW and KO the runner. We steal the ball with our +STR +AGI but they can 1d blitz him over once again. Our saw goes to town on a lineman for a -MA injury and and the following turn a BH vs a blitzer, leaving them just 3 players on the pitch. They then fail a GFI with an ulfwerner KILLING him, though the apo can save him.

We only have to run in the TD but we get greedy and go for a hit with our block troll first: double skulls and loner fail!!

2/2 of their KOs stay out so we have 10 players vs just 5. Our kick lands awkwardly for them plus we get a perfect defence, though a first block KO'ing a troll helps them out. They drop the pickup by the sideline and the crowd toss it into the middle where we can steal it. They defend tenaciously - at one point making a 5+ dodge with an ulfwerner to blitz the ball.. but then rolling a skull!

We have the ball safe near their endzone by T4 but have lost quite a few players - there's now 6 of us vs 4 of them as they try desperate dodges to get at the ball. It all comes to nothing however and we run in the winner on T8 (without getting greedy and trying a block first this time!)

GG Bert!”
