“HUBBA Season 5; Division 3 - Round 3

The sneaky Halfling's scouting network had them well prepared for this game. Seeing Star Player Ugroth Bolgrot, infamous for his use of a chainsaw, at the Decadence team training camp earlier in the week they prepared themselves by piling on extra armour plates, re-enforced saucepans and colinders. This hindered their movement slightly and twice Decadence blitzed through from the kick-off while the G 'flings struggled to get up to speed.
They also cooked the Ref a slap-up pre match lunch and had a work in his ear about the Star's arrival.

Going into the game Decadence were preparing for a slaughter. "Hit 'em hard and often" was the coaches message. But they were unprepared for what they faced. Despite repeatedly pounding the halflings again and again, they all remained uninjured. Even Ugroth and his fearsome saw was unable to wound. The referee, thankful for his lunch, was keen-eyed too sending Ugroth off at the first opportunity, quickly followed by Malachi as he tried to give his side a numbers advantage. Coach himself had a nightmare start, twice fumbling the ball in the backfield while trying to bark a new strategy at his team. When he eventually recovered the ball a long drive down the flank led to a score, but as half time blew all the halflings still stood and the scoreline was only 1-0.

Joshua tore into the team at halftime. "A bunch of half-men still standing laughing at us?" His message seemed to hit home, and he led the way in the second beating one of the little guys into the ground. Fulgrim and Lucius both finally managed to get in on the game, but it was a scrum on the halfway line where the game was decided. The flings threw everything at it, surrounding their trees to bring them into the game and aiming downfield but when the ball was knocked loose and Caleb returned it for a score the game was over as a contest.

There was still time for little Jacob to prove his worth, fouling a halfling from the field before running in for a late score.

Decadence will take the points, and their first win of the campaign. It took them longer to get going that they'd have liked but with the win secure they now look to their next game against the Boglins.”
