“Having once again won their previous two games, the Ponies were confident upon stepping out onto the pitch, this time to face their distant relatives from Ulthuan. Though the gap between the teams was narrower than the previous matches, there was still enough to persuade a wizard to tag along with the Ponies. The beginning of the game saw the ponies kick-off to their opponents, who rushed down one sideline, forming a half-cage right beside the crowd. This however invited a fireball from the Pony wizard, which stunned one elf, but crucially fractured the skull of the ball carrier! Although the apothecary mitigated the damage, that was one elf out for the match.

The ball safely fell into the hands of a Pony blitzer, who made use of blodge to force his way up the field. Two turns later he handed off to a catcher who made a run for the touchdown. One opposing lineman tried to block his way, only to be killed by the determined catcher. The catcher scored in turn 8, and the opposing elves did not have a chance to equalize.

The second half saw the Ponies receiving, facing a slightly depleted defence. A powerful start to the half saw an opposing journeyman taken out of the match by a Pony lineman, while the thrower picked up the ball, passing it to a blitzer, who ran forward with a cage. Despite one attempt to sack the ball carrier, the opposing team could do little as the blitzer ran the ball in for the second Pony touchdown.

With five turns left and lacking players, the High Elves tried once more to score, but the carrier was easily sacked, lacking enough players to form a screen. One catcher made his mark by smashing a lineman’s knee, while a blitzer took the ball, forming the center of yet another cage. Depleted, the opponents could do nothing as the blitzer scored his second touchdown, ending the game.

With a fifth win, the Ponies solidly take the lead, knowing that promotion to the conferences is almost assured.
