“Round 4 of Season 4, and it was a well known rival in Luccini Renegades, top of table, next in the firing line.

Rumours were circulating that Urdithane had grown restless, especially upset at the loss to the wood elves earlier in the season.

He raced out on to the pitch looking confident. First Siemon killed a rotter before the super star dark elf took the ball for the opener, then sacked the ball carrier to set up the 2nd - Tomas Bot scoring after killing a pestigor. The Pirates were benefiting from a dour display by the Renegades.

Urdithane looked somewhat less coordinated as he strode out grinning after half time. His next action was to slump into a pestigor when supposedly blocking, then fall over when trying to dodge away. In a crumpled pile, it was deemed the elf was knocked out after a boot in the ribs and he was dragged to the KO box - from which he never returned. After the game an empty bottle of rum was discovered there.

Meanwhile his team mates seized upon the demoralized Renegades, who suffered severe casualties as Siemon also took down a mighty clawed warrior. However eventually the multiple kick offs caught up with the Pirates who also suffered losses but only after the result was really a formality.

5-0 over a bitter rival is a statement sure to send shockwaves throughout the Old World, but hopefully will make a bigger statement in the dressing room as the Pirates look to convince Urdithane that they are worthy of his allegiance.”
