“A face-off between Bouncin'more and St. Paul looks to be a classic brawler vs. baller matchup. In preparation the Batrachians added two rookies to the roster to give them a bench, but it also allowed the Apostles to induce Max Spleenripper and some Kicking Boots, which they used to brutal effect throughout the match.

In another questionable decision, the BB squad elected to kick first despite winning the coin toss.

What followed was another classic wilting of the frogs ranks as the Apostles blocked and booted frog after frog from the pitch. Down 3 players by Turn Two, the coach was faced with either throwing a 1d on Max, or going for the ball. The Batrachians elected to try for the ball and wound up clearing it away with Doomerville after Kruger wrestled the carrier to the ground. The Apostles gamely tried to recover, using their wizard to blast Elviss and even getting the ball back, but Elviss managed to 1d the ball carrier and scoop it up for the score.

With just a couple of turns remaining in the first half the Apostles again went to work, clearing more frogs from the pitch. A poor choice to engage the offense rather than just hang back probably opened the door and St. Paul pushed across the equalizer as time expired.

With only 1 KO back Bouncin'more received down 3 players and were promptly BLITZED, allowing the Apostles Stand Firm Beast of Nurgle, El Poop the II, to wallow up into the LOS, locking down three Batrachians. Bouncin'more made an effort at trying the south sideline and then reversing field, but with a couple of blocks to clear the way, El Poop put his tentacles on both remaining Bouncin'more blitzers. The Bouncin'more fans could see the writing on the wall and started to make their way to the exits.

And then...the miracle. Two turns of inspired play the likes of which Bouncin'more has never seen. Truly, Nuffle himself smiled upon the team. Pernell -2d blitzed the Beast, knocking him down but using the teams rr. What followed was a mighty display of agility as no less than 5 of the remaining players succeeded in leaping and dodging their way past the Nurgle line. The loose cage wasn't enough to prevent a 2d blitz on Elviss, but the Apostle couldn't bring him down. Again the Batrachians leapt over their opponents, soaring over and dodging around the remaining Apostles with perfect grace to advance the ball deep into the Apostle backfield. A desperation dodge blitz by a Nurgle Warrior succeeded in powing Elviss, but again his armor held up and he was able to pop up, retrieve the ball and score.

St. Paul very nearly equalized the match again in their last three turns, but a failed handoff to a clumsy rotter cinched the match for Bouncin'more.

St. Paul committed five fouls without a single ejection, and Bouncin'more recovered I believe one KO in about 8-9 attempts.”
