#10 Arthur Atkinson – Broken Ribs (MNG) #10 Arthur Atkinson – Smashed Knee (NI)
“This match was simply odd, frustrating but surprisingly rewarding in the end. Both teams had most of the turns crappy luck with the dice (the luck-o-meter should be something completely different that 62-54).
Fast Show won the coin toss and received. However, it wasn't going to be easy today. FS thrower fumbled his pass and the orcs ran close to the ball. On the second turn FS had a nice chance (thrower passing to a catcher) of scoring but the crucial pass fumbled again (and this time it was the other thrower)...
The struggle for the ball began. Orcs stole the ball, elves stole the ball, orcs, elves, ... Finally on the 8th turn the orcs carried the ball to the opposing end zone. The first half ended 1-0 for the Arabian Knights.
The second half looked very bad for the elves. Orcs made 3 casualties and the elven defence began to crumble. Then the crucial pass was missed by the orcs and the elves grabbed it. A pass and Bob Fleming who blitzed his way to the opposing end zone (2 go-for-its, no rerolls left).
The Knights had still 3 turns to score. Once again the orcs missed their pass and after a nice blitz the elves stole the ball again. The ball was thrown to Bob Fleming who ran as close to the opposing end zone as he could. The orcs still had a chance of stopping the ball carrier but the first block lead to a turn over. Bob ran to the end zone and scored the winning td!
Can't believe I won the match. Most of the match was very frustrating and useless but the last 4 turns of the match did it for the elves.

Brilliant winnings.
