“WoC favoured of Nurgle qualifier first round.

Game began extremely well for us, the orc thrower missing his pickup and thus allowing to send our star Hirion (AG5 blitzer) next to the ball (failing to pick it up too, we suppose it was greased before the match). A nice failed blitz from the frightening orc blitzer allows us to stall till turn 6.

Apo saves one of the block/guard linemen, worthy players. 1-0 at half time, we receive next.

Second half is not at all the same story, with a few early KOs and a good defense from cowhead. Finally Isithral (runner) sticks to Hirion hoping for a good dump-off, but crowded Hirion does not manage to catch despite AG5. However, he manages to take back the ball in 2TZ and fly to the second touchdown. Sadly, a block/guard guy which i had stood near the sideline (for... wait, what for? stupid move) dies just before the end.

Wesnoth Avengers go to second roung, losing a guard but with all their stars and their POMB blitzer back home. A teammate learns to kick.

Thx cowhead for this match, was much more tense than i thought it would be after first half.”
