“WIL Season XIX - Round II

We're up against NoCoolNickLeft's underdog humans who get 3 handicaps to try and help them a little bit: virus (wasted), it wasn't me (rookie ghoul) and palmed coin. Not the best 3 they could have gotten!

We kick and they pass the ball directly to their AGI4 catcher who then rushes through into our half. They decide to stall the clock a little and on T4 we're able to double GFI blitz him and get the POW we need. However they can easily make space and recover the ball and we just can't stop them stalling out til T8 before making it 1-0.

We get one turn before half time, and chainpush a ghoul in range of the endzone but fail the short pass to him. Our first foul of the game has DP'd a rookie lineman but they still have 11 as we receive for the 2nd half.

Our lone tackler on the pitch (a zombie) blitzes their catcher for a KO but gets crowdpushed in return. We then manage two KOs with DPs in 3 fouls before he gets sent off, our supermummy BH's a blitzer and they haven't endangered the ball. We pile slowly forwards and on T5 drop a handoff to a ghoul we want the SPPs to go to. Our wight catches it but they can 2d blitz him for a stun - the ball is by the sideline but their prone thrower can jump up, dodge over and pick it up - he goes for the long pass downfield to a lineman marked by a zombie.... but fortunately he fumbles!!

We recover the ball, absorb a few 2d blocks vs our blodger, crowdpush the thrower for a BH and KO some more players and finally score on T8.

1-1 and far from comfortable getting it - well played NoCoolNickLeft!”
