“After being pasted 0-3 last time these teams played each other - Calgary came in with something to prove...and this game had to be more than just the vampires...it needed to be a full team effort.

The first half overall went great - we started by fouling out a guard longbeard for a BH on the first turn...the ref turned a blind eye to our efforts as the fouling continued. We lost the ball briefly as we pushed too hard - and got a bad bounce - but it was a thrall blitz that got the POW (on RR) to pop the ball free. We BH Balor Earthbreaker (ST 4 runner) on another foul and then Vicki saved the day, grabbing the ball and passing downfield to allow the stall and then score for the 1-0 halftime lead.

The second half was the decider as our armor started to fail. We continued to foul of course, but suffered quite a few quick removals and suddenly were getting outnumbered. However, we struck at the ball - knocking it free. With the ball on the ground, it was time for Vicki to work her magic...snaked the bloodlust roll, so it was a close thing, but she pulled off some great dodges and pickups and then tossed the ball 13 spaces downfield to let it rest near the goal line. Now it was a race...but Anothony Calvillo was down (RIP apoth to RIP...and then regen worked). It was all down to Jaclyn the thrall. She was pinned, so she had to 4+ dodge (used RR), 3+ dodge, gfi, gfi for the pickup - she failed the last gfi but pushed the ball out of range of the dwarves that were racing downfield. Again she was pinned after 4 gfis by the dwarves....so she 4+ dodged, 4+ pickup, 3+ dodged (used RR) to score to make it 2-0! An amazing display by Jaclyn (who revealed after the game that she is actually AG 4 - so it makes more sense)!

The rest of the half, we just tried to avoid damage, giving up a T16 TD to make the final score 2-1.”
