“1st Round of FUMBBL Cup X:

This was a tight one! The Dark Elves received first, and managed to score in turn 4, Idrian Wyrmeye picking out Rhashid Venombreath in the endzone after recovering his own dropped pass. 1-0.

The Orcs rolled into action, but an audacious blitz and tight defending left them with it all to do. In the end, a pointy-eared Ag4 Orc took his chances and dodged into the endzone to equalise. Halftime 1-1

Another Orc offensive, more audacious cage-busting, but the Orcs recovered and ground on. Running out of time, their Blodge Blitzer was left open. The Elves knocked him down, Nazaria Doom scooped up the ball, picked out the man-marked Killith Slane, who dodged clear and handed the ball to the clear Nadal Nightbringer to secure this nail-biting tie. Judging from the crowd reaction, they were well pleased!

Hard luck to Quaruk, I thought his monster Str 5 Blitzer would carry the tie for him; I felt I played well enough, and took my chances, to deserve the win.”
