“Royal Rookie Rumble CCXIX - Round 3

I feel this was a victory for the taking, but poor decisions cost me dear.

The principle bad choice was made at the end of the 1st half. I had a tiny chance for an equaliser, having gotten turned over on my drive once already, and the ball having been knocked free a 2nd time (caging class 101 required). The opponent had gutter runners i.e. a very good chance to score. Answer? protect the ball. What did I do? Send players away from the ball and try to score, and incur a turnover on risky dice.

The other terrible decision came when fouling the gutter runners. With the numbers in my favour, I got 2 players sent off on some weak fouls, which rebalanced it.

I can find both torture and solace in that Ignaz went on to win the RRR, since I lost to the winner but probably could have won it myself! Dang!”
