“FUMBBL Cup XIII - Round 5

And after fighting debog, up comes the BUCCANEERS! What an honour! And the finest coach to meet, the one that makes my major tourneys worth carrying on with, always with a smile.

But the Buccs hadn´t a single tackler, were 11 man + a nasty ogre, and the bets in the FC-thread held Crossdressers as the winners of the game. I wasn't as sure...

And I was right! Painstate had a cunning plan, bringing an extra dp to the field, and it did make a difference.

Humans receive, directly hit me very hard and I apo a 2-skill-catcher from a perm. All for the win!
And they keep on laying in hard hits and... AND in turn 3 an ag4 wrestle human blitzes... WHAT?!? My ballcarrier (+st-catcher with 78 spps), rolls both down, and without any assist kills my superstar with the boot. I am stunned. WHAT? She had ss, but the wrestler sure did his job.
And from that it felt like uphill for many turns.

But PS decides not to score with his catcher, instead trying to rip-boot my st4-pomber without any success. I manage to break the ball loose, and a VERY evil scatter for the humans goes into the audience and in a perfect spot for me to score. Which the girls manages to do in turn 8.

10 humans vs 11 girls for 2nd half and the girls receive.
A blitz! Putting pressure on me directly, still feels like uphill without facing a single tackler, its all very confusing and I really have to concentrate to not loose a fairly focused mind.
I still have the ball, loose it from a very nice wiz from the humans, have to re-wiz a rookie human catcher to get it back, and then I continue to have the ball in my possession for the rest of the game, going down, and up on one side, and back again. But I fail my securing dodges. And it feels like dodging with mummies, it feels, obviously it wasn't that bad dice at all, but it felt like that. You all know what I mean...
And I am forced to go all the way back to my on scoreline in the end of the game, the Buccs has a shot for two dice on ball with wrestle, he needed 4 gfis and a dodge (with dodge) I think, but snakes on the second gfi. And its almost over. I try to secure the ball in the corner and in turn 16 one human blitzer tries to go through the defensive line but fails. Game over.

It was DAMNED TENSE. A great thrilling hard-hitting and well-visited game. Had it all really. Except for overtime. Thank heaven for that!
Thanks for a great time Painstate, it sure could had ended any way this one, and I don't feel I deserve a win, atleast not before a hard-fought overtime that never came. Rematch anytime!”
