“A good game of rush and pass. Though there was some dark elf blood on the pitch, it was mostly self-inflicted. After a pitch invasion by the high elves' fans, the friendlies took out a blitzer and pulled off a cheeky zig-zag for the 1-0. The Russians tried a quick score, but well-covered catchers made the drive a bit slower, leaving the 1-1 until turn 6. This left the dudes with only two turns to score, which almost worked due to a fancy dump-off, but was thwarted by a failed dodge.

Second half saw a quick score by the Russians. Feeling the press of time, the outnumbered dark elves went for speed over safety, resulting in a counter and a final score of 3-1.”
