“Looking back the U-dogs have now scored in their last 8 matches. Lets see if they can keep off a duck for another game.

Match Highlights:
The U-dogs have brought along a bombardier, and some other nasty little exploding tricks to the game, only question is will they hurt the U-dogs or IB more?

U-dogs kick and blitz, Nor’zarax catches the ball inside the IBs back field but is wrestled to the floor by Ghoul ‘Theodore’ and fellow IB Ghoul ‘Martin’ comes away with the ball. IB take a moment to regroup and build the cage around their ball carrier before advancing into U-dogs’ field half.

IB expend a lot of blocks on Dribblesnot, obviously the idea of potentially cage breaking explosions makes the unliving uncomfortable. But it isn’t explosives that expose the ghoulish ball carrier rather well aimed goblins hurled by Gerald and the liberal application of horns courtesy of Ber’anx. Martin finds himself unprotected with two skaven tacklezones on him, but his team mates help him escape back into his own half of the field with some inspired chain pushes. With only 2 turns remaining in the half IB are still only 1 yard inside the U-dog half, can the mongrel hoard hold the undead steam roller and make it through to half time? It all comes down to if the U-dogs can knock the IB ball carrier down one more time, to that end Squee-lee sprints at Martin throwing a block but he trips on the gfi roll stunning himself and leaving an escape route for the beleaguered ghoul wide open, needing no further invitation Martin dashes through the gap and his team mates ensure no U-dog can reach him in time to stop the turn 8 TD. The halftime score is 1-0 to the, clearly relieved, Iron Blokes.

Second half opens with the U-dogs forming up into their ‘Pocket and Skirmishline’. The IBs hit it hard but the outer line holds the IBs initial assault and as the inner cage forms around thrower Fr’bloo the U-dogs release the goblins to dodge through the shambling undead attackers. Miraculously no fewer than five of the goblins make it through and into catching positions; four have even made it into scoring range. The IBs mummies make short work of the caging skaven but Fr’bloo survives unmolested. Squeelee’s blitz opens up a space down the flank and Odd-een blocks the marking ghoul away from Odeen-natses who is free and clear to the endzone… all Fr’bloo needs to do is toss a short pass to the greenskinned receiver, which he promptly refuses to do. The crowd jeer and call Fr’bloo a racist causing him to throw the ball on the ground at his own feet instead. Determined to clear his besmirched character and with his coach threatening slow and painful removal of his whiskers Fr’bloo gathers the ball and once more lines up a pass… which completes, allowing Odeen-natses to run in and level the scores at 1 all.

Treenat-ses has arrived on the pitch looking nervous and carrying something distinctly dangerous looking – for he has the exploding runes. The referee makes a show of not noticing the blatant rule violation and play gets underway. The IBs once again show great skill with chain pushes opening up a space for Mummy Salman to blitz Gerald putting him out the game. However, this leaves William, the IB ballcarrier, slightly exposed and Ber’anx is able to dodge through and launch a blitz bringing him down. D’enthee also makes it through the opposition lines only to injure himself sprinting towards the loose ball. This leaves Ber’anx alone in the IB backfield fighting for control of the ball against no fewer than four of the undead. Each time they knock him down the deranged rodent jumps up to throw another block at the ball carrier pushing them slowly back deeper into their own half. But even Ber’anx can’t hold for long alone and he is eventually felled attempting to dodge onto the ball knocked loose in his previous blitz. But his sacrifice was not in vane for he had single handedly held the IB drive up by 3 turns leaving them only 2 turns to move the ball from the middle of their own half. It is at this point Treena-ses foolishly decides to try throwing some runes around succeeding only in blowing himself up and supplying the opportunity for IB to dash home a last second TD move. Final score 2-1 Iron Blokes but another immoral victory claimed by the (admittedly self deluding) Underdogs who held the undead cage up for the majority of the game in both halves of the match and survived and entire 16 turns without suffering a single permanent injury.
