“We kick first and on T2 manage to BH a guard blitzer with our clawed troll, though we haven't threatened the ball at all. They KO two players and move it forwards behind a scrum of greens, but again the troll scores a BH on T4 on a blitzer. Then on T5 a double both-down rerolled to same gives them a quick turnover (and sees our dodge linerat MNG'd) and they take advantage by knocking down most of our team including a -STR on a gobbo and another KO. There's little we can do but try and slow them down, and in the end it's almost enough as they drop a handoff on T7 and on T8 need a reroll to make the final GFI to take the lead.

We get one turn til half time and when the kick lands to deep to TTM we put in the pain instead, scoring a BH with a block and another with our DP gobbo. Half time and they have just 8 vs our 12 as they kick off. We push forwards fairly quickly, scoring on T4 after our troll BHs one of their black orcs. We kick again with 11 vs 6 (a BoB is KO'd), looking for the win here.

They have the ball in a blitzer's hands behind the rest of their players and we surround them. T6 and yet another double both-down rerolled to same gives them a bonus turn, but luckily they can't break through our lines. T7 and we blitz the ball free, but it scatters into an awkward spot. T8 and in an attempt to bounce the ball free our troll KILLS a black orc (apo fail) and the ball unfortunately is caught by a gobbo who's already acted so we won't be able to string together a win like we were hoping :(
