“This match should have been a lot less damaging than it was.

I was not paying attention. With the iron man ogre gang fouled 3 times, Astarael finally took pity on me and let me know my mistake. In the mean time, he had retired Garret the Great and killed Cinders. With 200spp off the field permanently, and 3 successful failed fouls, the play became quite lopsided - in the wrong direction from my perspective!

Fortunately the ogres were pretty bone-headed in the 2nd period, and the diving tackle skill came to my rescue as a goblin was tripped up and the ball was punted to relative safety, with the less agile ogres unable to retrieve it as most of the goblins were snoozing in the knock out box.

Sirius put in a star player performance, beating up numerous ogres with little or no help. He was injured early on, nothing serious, but the apothecary was sent on due to the increasingly dire on-field situation. Coach Chainsaw's faith in the black orc was repaid.”
