“The Albion Fae came up against some sneaky looking Forest Goblins from Murkwood. After a riot the drive started badly when 2 of our Fenbeasts started dumb and the other could only push a gobbo though Seamus cleverly(?) cas'd another when their heads clashed. THis did mean we hadn't picked up the ball yet. A spider then led the Gobbo charge into our half. Pixie picked up the ball and advanced but when a Brownie tripped up she was not protected. Another Faeries was stabbed and ko'd but Pixie stood up to an attack for the moment. She got the ball to O'Reilly but again we were still out of shape and a Spider skipped through to cas him. After that there was scrapping over the ball. We regained it for some moments but after Pixied tripped away from those shadowing Spider monsters the Forest Gobbos had their chance and scored before half-time.

Second half we had some excitement when a gobbo fumbled and so Pixie and support went forward and she picked up. Again it needed another player to protect her properly and a dastardly Shaman ko'd her while Steve stabbed Tooth Faerie to death! After that we kept at it with players being taken out and the ball keep changing hands. In the end we just didn't have enough players with the slow Fens not being able to keep up with Greenskins and most of their quick support gone. Dark Eyes did amazingly get the ball again near the end but got surrounded, caught by tentacles and beaten up so the Gobbos defended their 1-0.

Fun but tough game!

The Faeries are getting in a bit of a rut of narrow defeats.
Go Faeries!”
