Nothing but skulls and pushes for few turns, but we have opening and use fireball - it hits 3 of 4 and we have shot at ball, pickup ball, just need 2+ dodge, 2+ pass with thrower, 2+ catch with MA 9 catcher and we will be up 1-0 at the half. We snake the dodge, dwarves recover - make all pickups and dodges.
Half ends with us having suffered 4 CAS (all SI/RIP). Neither KO wakes up so we are 1 player short of being able to try one turn TD.
Second half, we suffer more removals, but have chance to use superior speed to our advantage and score late in half to likely force OT. We fail 2+ catch with our catcher. Dwarves gfi twice (they use a RR on one of the gfis - the only RR used by the dwarves all game) to get ball which bounces to a longbeard. We have 2d blitz on him then chance to recover with AG 5 and score - but fail the 2d blitz and RR. Dwarves fail no blocks and walk down the pitch. The longbeards gfi and handoff to each other to chain the ball down the field for another TD at end of game.
Overall, the dwarves played an excellent game. They never over-committed - trusted in their armor and bashing to ward off the elves. The fireball was the wildcard - not much they could do but to hope for the best there - and a good fireball, but failed dodge was all they needed. Well played and grats on winning the cup!”
