“After a long gap this is the second time we have faced the Warpfire Rejects. These horrors are a well built side with tentacles, diving tackle, many bombers, a killer, a good carrier etc. They put up an excellent performance today while much of Hellmouth were sub-par, but we do have Big King! Highlights include:
First drive we were blitzed at kickoff and then had an early fail leading to Big King and co rushing down the flank with only Big King emerging from explosions and a cloud of smoke to get an early TD.
On the return Big King slipped up and was ko'd in a foul after he tried to charge forward. Hardest Nutz did have a great chance to make it 2-0 when he sprinted and knocked down the ball carrier near the Horror endzone but just couldn't pick that covered ball up. We were then smashed up and Luubgax just about had the pace to get to the other end of the pitch in the final moment of the half to equalize after an attempt to bring him down again.
Next half we were outnumbered, squigs seemed to be clueless, and we getting beaten down and blown up. Big King also took some more boots after another trip. The Rejects scored quite comfortably though they again had to survive one last squig attack on Slaabok.
We had 8 players on our last drive but Big King came through for us. He needed to stand up to a hit and then leap away from tentacles to get away from the mass to score. Terrific.
The match seemed to be all over bar the shouting but the crowd rioted and the scared ref gave more time. It needed Big King and another squig to leap in and get that ball carrier down, and cover the ball to ensure we were safe.
We only scored 2 casualties today, both were by Devil, both were on Slaabok, and both were regenerated! Devil was furious.
The apo had to save Hellmouth from serious damage but the skilled Stickit up'em and Tuknitz were both lost. Fun and tough match!
