#4 Troubled Elbow – Smashed Hand (MNG) #14 Leif Ericsson – Pinched Nerve (MNG)
“More undead legions visited the shop today, this time the climate control was fully functional and they enjoyed the atmosphere well enough to pick up a good few casualties, with no trade-ins at all. Great for business!
We received, never a bad idea, though it was they chose it which was a first. The kick was high and Troubled Elbow called for it (got the pick up at least), handing off to Post Trauma, who was quickly thrown clear by Leif and scored. Good legs on him, that lad.
They tried a novel bounce-pass on their kick, which worked oddly enough, and then ran it down the wing and simply stalled us out for the half. We gave them a good few blitzes and a lot of team support, but it wasn't to be freed.
Second half, their go, Creaky Knee found the ball carrier thanks to Clive's help, but we were all so astounded to have freed the ball we waited for them to recover it instead of capitalising {client bug, far as I can tell}. Another shelling freed it again, and we troubled the ball for a moment, but it's hard on the wee lads being up close and they ran off and scored soon enough.
This time our numbers were short, the kick expertly deep, they blitzed up and covered everyone but Cracked Ribs, so we put him over the top, Clive breaking tackles for a clear shot. It was a rather short one unfortunately, so they wrestled him down easily. They tried to get it in reach for a score, but the ghoul Anu fell over himself, and Clive and Post Trauma were left to cover the ball against an entire team of the dead, he near fluffed the pick up so held it close hoping for a last second pass. They down him, but Clive couldn't quite spill the ball clear and the pick up was lost this time.
Game over, well done the dead, 9 fine casualties, Leif putting himself in danger to try to keep Cracked Ribs free, had to be helped out by the Apothecary to avoid a knee injury. Nice that it worked. Good spirit, good game, excellent value casualties. Tell your friends!”
