“We receive first and advance into their side of the pitch with the ball. Unfortunately on T3 they manage to -MA injure a BoB and for the 2nd match in a row the apo comes up as a kill... bah!

They knock the ball free on T4 and we spend a couple turns trying to recover. T6 and they -STR injure our DP/kick lineorc... there goes the idea of entering the TW180 minors with this team!!

They also manage to hold us back and keep it to 0-0 at half time, but not before scoring a BH on a blitzer with their DP gobbo (also sent off). We kick off with 8 vs 11 now for the 2nd half... total disaster.

They steamroll forwards with ease to score on T4. Again we have 8 vs 11 as they kick off.. not much hope here. We use our last reroll on a 1d block to break up their perfect defence, managing to get the ball but not protect it. They knock it free but we have scored a -AGI on a rookie lineorc and a -MA on a blitzer. Their +AGI blitzer grabs the ball in two tackle zones with a RR, then rolls a 1 on the dodge to KO himself! We take advantage by crowdpushing a blodge blitzer and securing space around the ball.. 7 players each on the pitch now... but unfortunately we just can't make the final desperate linkup to make it 1-1.
