“We kick first in the sweltering heat and they catch the high kick with a wight. Our first block is double both-downs and with a RR.. the same and a turnover! They knock over a few more players and put in a foul with a zombie: stun + a sending off! Down to 10 for the game, but as their coach points out they can still raise a replacement if they kill something :)

They have been hiding their wight right in the middle of the rest of the team but we surround them with players and on T4 get a chance when a mummy has to pick both-down on a 2d block. We make a little space and blitz in with the STR4 dark elf... double skulls... reroll... and it's a KILL!! The wight regens but the ball is loose with only zombies and our players nearby. They go for a 2d block with the other mummy... and roll up quad skulls!! We take advantage again, -AV injuring a zombie (regens) and snatching up the ball.

They pick yet another both-down with a mummy but this time our MB marauder is BH'd. Still, it means the ball is safe by their endzone and they can't reach it and we make it 1-0 as the half time whistle blows.

Heat exhaustion hits one of our players and none of theirs so it's 10 vs 10 as they kick off. A touchback lets us hand the ball to our dark elf but he foolishly double 1s a GFI to safety after blitzing over a mummy and stuns himself. At least we KO'd a zombie first to get a player advantage. They push one of our players onto the ball but the bounce is nice for us and on our turn we can push their wight onto it, again for a helpful bounce before blitzing him down and recovering it with a marauder. We also KO another zombie but they quickly KO a player back, making space for a 1d blitz from a wight... but it's a skull! We run the ball into their half but then have some poor blocks of our own and they just about 1d blitz with a zombie for a both-down. We recover but the following turn a wight makes a dodge and 2 GFIs to 1d blitz again with their final RR. Fortunately the crowd throw it short and we grab it up with our STR4 dark elf (a real thorn in their side all game long). They are out of rerolls and their best chance is a 1d blitz from a zombie with a dodge.. but he falls over and BHs himself!

We think things are safe ... but a supposedly tied up mummy goes for the ultimate blitz, making the 5+ dodge... but then tripping on the GFI!! We run in the TD to make it 2-0 and all that's left is a turn of blocks and a final weak foul from the undead.

GG mobo!”
