“Fumbbl Cup - Round 3

On paper the Nurgles looked the slightly stronger side, but to avoid any doubt we decided to bring a wizard to the match, pertly in case the Norse brought one too!

Norse received, but a perfect defence left their initial line up struggling and after a few pushes the Nurgle starting the game the stronger and started removing players. The Norse decided to try and come forward while they still had the numbers, but a well placed fireball took down the cage and ball carrier and the Nurgle were able to score against the drive for 1-0.

The second half was almost the opposite. The Norse started with a Blitz! disrupting the Nurgle positioning and taking out a player, which was followed by the Nurgle ball carrier failing the pickup. However, after a few turns the ball was moved into a safe...ish semi-cage, leaving the Norse to gamble on some 1D plays, often without the backup to capitalise if they did get the ball loose. Given the way the half started, the Nurgles then decided against trying to score and instead held on to the ball to run out 1-0 victors.

Now, onto the next round where my arch-nemesis JockMcRowdy awaits!

Thanks for the game fidius, best of luck with the Norse.”
