“HUBBA Season 6; Division 2 - Round 4

What on paper looked like a close contest ended up being a routine win for Decadence Inc. as they took on Infectious Diseases in a game where everything went right.

Receiving the kick-off, the Pact covered the ball and attacked the Skaven front line. A few minutes of battling followed in which Maath was lost to injury but the rats had half a dozen players knocked out or sent off. A grind up the field was executed to almost perfection as the few remaining rats struggled to get near the ball. Good work by the girl with the smelling salts saw most of Infectious Diseases return for the second half and line up 11v10.

The game was really decided at the start of the second. A risky play by the Skaven saw them blitz and commit down the left flank and look to have secured a position - only they hadn't secured the ball. When Botulism fumbled his pick-up he was all alone in the backfield and close to the Decadence line. Noah killed the rat left to cover and Fulgrim and Zacchaeus both reacted well, lumbering downfield to cover both the ball and the thrower. The rats tried to recover, hurrying back to get goal-side of the pact but it was in vain. Solomon recovered the ball and Decadence set up a stall in the rat's half, with the big men providing excellent pillars it was only a matter of time before the second score came. When the game was so late in the day as the result was safe, Solomon ran in the touchdown. Diseases had a good chance to pull one back late in the day but a riot of celebrating Pact fans and a delay in play meant there wasn't time left on the board.

Coach John 'Madman' Earl, while commending his side after the game took a moment to display his anger with new signing Maath. The Minotaur has been on the field for less than half the time he's been at the club, instead spending most of his games in the injured box. Earl was ruthless in his dressing down of the player and suggested a similarly poor performance in their next game again the Boglins could see him cut from the roster. Will 'sicknote' Maath step up and prove his worth or is this injury prone Minotaur not cut out for Bloodbowl at this level?”
