1. 3DV Highlander League Ssn 7, KO Tourney Rd 1

Nurghlander had exactly zero Tackle to deal with the 'Zons, but if this wasn't a classic dicing, the dice certainly did not love the Luscious Ladies this game.

Roxanna Darknail made a special guest appearance for L3, bad news for Nurghlander, along with a Wizard and some babes for the AV 7 ladies, who won the toss and chose to kick off. A randomly deep kick went to the weak side of the Nurghlander setup and bounced into the end-zone, and the last-action Sure Hands pickup failed, dropping the ball OB and then being tossed (luckily!) only 4(!) squares back in, still beyond reach of the D. Turn 2 Nurghlander was able to handoff to their St 4 Pesti and fall back, then cage up midfield Turn 3. An opening failed dodge by the Zon St 4 Blitzer left most Zons out of position, and Nurghlander swung the cage to the weak side. A Blodge Pesti had been BH'd Turn 1, one 'Zon Wrestle lino had been legitimately blocked KO'd turn 1, but a Tackle Blitzer was fouled MNG on Turn 3, the St 4 fouled -AV Turn 4 (Apo'd from RIP), and the Beast had various others tied up, leaving the defense scrambling to fill all the gaps as Nutrghlander pushed to within scoring range to end Turn 6, fouling a 'Zon Guard KO'd. With the Ag 5 Leaping Darknail in position, L3 broke out their Wizard - but the Lightning fizzled, fail. L3 could only wall up with their remaining 5 players - 1 Stunned and out of position, and the 7th BH'ing herself on a failed Dodge - and with a couple blocks Nurghlander broke thru for the score, 1-0.

The T8 kickoff was not meaningful, and 9 'Zons lined up to receive against the starting Nurgle roster. Turn 2, the opening 'Zon blitz failed the Dodge, and Nurghlander had a shot on the ball - but, over-eager, blitzed before positioning, and a double-Push RR'd to Skulls, opening the door for the Ladies for their Turn 3. After a tense moment of fail handing off to Darknail(Loner RR'd!), she GFI'd twice for the score - and fell on the goal line. Nurghlander returned the favour by snaking the lone GFI to recover and the OB ball sailed back to the 8, to the feet of some 'Zons near the sideline. But the L3 blitz to clear the Stand Firm Beast found only Push, and the Ag 5 could not break free to recover for the scoring Pass. No other Zons were in range of the ball, so Nurghlander scooped and caged up on the Nurghlander 7 yard line to end Turn 4, but not before surfing Darknail, who was RIP'd by the rabid crowd. With things looking desperate for OT, L3's Ag 5 blitzed into the cage on a 3+ for a -2D, and found... double Pows! BUT - typical of how the game went for the Ladies - an adjacent Warrior made the 6+ to catch the bounce, Nurghlander retains possession. They walled up in front of the ball Turn 5, still on the 7, then broke thru to midfield, screening most of the defenders out.This time the -2D found a skull, and the D could not contest the T16 score, 2-0.

Despite the final butcherbill, Nurghlander players could claim no casualties, which somehow has become typical for this soft group of wanna-be killers.”
