“First match of the Shield event.
The Great Ones meet the Midsummer Knights again.
The Wood Elves knowing their opponents decide to hire Zara the Slayer hoping she'll be able to remove a couple of the Necros from the pitch.
The weather is perfect for a Blood Bowl evening and the most of the crowd seems to be on the Necros side. The Knights are receiving. The unskilled players on the elf side and the necro's resilience costs 3RR to the Knights as well as a knocked out player in the 3 first turns. Struggling to get to the end zone, the elves even drop the ball trying to go for it. The Great Ones managed to bring the ball back to almost mid-field the Knights striped the ball but couldn't pick it back up nor score.
In second half the Necros ruled the pitch, wiping their adversaries out in the KO box, everything seemed to be in their favour until a missed pass by Swift O'reily in turn 6 gave the opportunity to the war dancers to steal the show!
Zara blitzed the werewolf standing next to the ball and staked him to the BH box. Titania, getting up from her prone position, ran to pick the ball up at the feet of David Wight, dodging and going for it to finish with a pass to Oberon. He ran out of reach while the Necros made another casualty leaving the Wardancer to his touchdown in turn 7.
The crowd ended with a riot giving the Necros extra time but the Great Ones unfortunately couldn't handle the ball well enough to equalize and get into sudden death.

I really thought I was going to loose this game, my RR left me so fast, rolling 1s and skulls, with a couple of casualties and numerous KOs.
However, luck hit me with the failed pass and the perfect sequence of blitz/stab remove player, move into tackle zone, pick-up the ball -1, dodge, going for it 2x, pass 3+, catch 2+with no RR... Happy I've kept whatever pressure I could give until the turn of event!”
