“The Golden Girls came up against a formidable Skaven team with a highly experienced coach in their fourth game.

The rats were on the ball. They kicked to the girls and immediately blitzed with gutter runners infiltrating both flanks. This disrupted the Girls' play from the off and allowed the Skaven to sink their teeth into the attack before Northcoast could get set up.

The Skaven then knocked out a girl and crowd pushed another one, easily locking down the cage as it tried to plod down the left flank. The girls got themselves locked into a ruck with the rats but with the half time klaxon coming ever closer, they never really looked like scoring. Another girl got herself knocked out as both Rat Alliance storm vermin stepped up their game.

The Skaven eventually knocked the ball carrier into the stands but the ball, pitched back onto the field by the crowd, was expertly caught by one of the more watchful girls. The half grounded to a halt with the Northcoast outfit showing their defensive skills (in a play they were supposed to attack on).

The Skaven set up aggressively for the second half, looking to press their number advantage. The girls' kick was extremely deep and safely inside the Skaven's zone of protection.

The rats knocked another girl out, putting them with 3 unconscious. The rats then foul and a fourth Northcoat is KO'd without the ref intervening, leaving eight girls on the pitch to defend against eleven. Moments later, another lineman is badly hurt. The Skaven punch their way through a severely outnumbered Golden Girl line to secure the game's first touchdown.

After the break, the girls can field nine. The Skaven kick super deep. The girls break for a last ditch equalising pass attempt, with Doro collecting the ball and Deveraeux attempting to position herself centre pitch to receive the hand off and make the pass - but there are just too many vermin on the pitch and the play collapsed before it could be set up.

Coach Stonefist, who normally coaches Skaven vermin, said his opponent's tactics were flawless.

Good game matey; a deserved victory for you.”
