“XFL - Round 1:

A fun game against a great opponent. We took the opening kickoff and spent a full eight turns bashing away - which worked fairly well - we scored and set up to defend against the one turn score...but we failed as a quick snap plus a MA 9 sprint player raced in for the 1-1 score at the half. Second half, we fired off our wizard - but fizzled...and a leap and dodge gave the Mente Malata a 2-1 lead. We responded by slowly pushing upfield, but a nice sequence of blocking knocked the ball free and some elf moves got it up and away...nearly defeated - only 4 turns left and about to go down by 2 scores, it was Prince Moranion who made the 2+ dodge and blitz - then we croweded the remaining elf catcher...a 1d block gave him a hole...and a 3+ 2+ dodges with no RR was all that stood between Mente Malata and victory - but they could not finish it off. The ball was free and then on our next turn it bounced to Prince Moranion who dodged away and carried the ball down the field...surviving a 1d blitz to score at the buzzer and force OT. Mente Malata's best two players were KOed in the last turn of the 2nd half - stayed out for OT and we got to receive...nothing they could do at that point as we pushed downfield for the quick score.

Thanks for the match!”
