Grim death awaits us all, and Bribery and Corruption is always the curse of the Pharee Markhet. If not a lack of strict regulation to preserve the commons and provide the infrastructure for trade and stuff.

Their ball, Intimidation would be sorely missed, and only 12 players. We'd avoided the bribe, they took one instead, and bought weapons to burn. Anarchy was unleashed regardless. A rock took Graft. They hit and caged, Anarchy smashed out a corner, and Bribery smashed out the ball, Nepotism dragging it up the pitch, chased down by a hired Hack. They dodged and picked up, two TG back with the ball and their weapons, two up with our weapons and the trolls.

Corruption went up, Hack fouled him off. Anarchy took out Locke, and now there was little time and they crowded up and broke through. Nepotism slapped down Farage and helped Thieving take it down as Anarchy cleared Voltaire.

We made a play to score, but it wasn't to be. Nothing left for the 2nd, just ten on a well regenerated squad, but our ball, recovered from the side neatly and switched right across. The trolls played dumb a moment, then didn't, and Corruption stood the hits to get the ball away. Numbers dwindling, we scored with a quarter left.

We blitzed, and Thieving stole it! But they recovered with a full effort and screened out as Nepotism failed again. So Bribery, went around. Fastest troll in forever, dodgy, scattered it, Kickbacks to Secrecy, who stood the blitz, but too far back, so off to Kickbacks to sprint in the 2nd. 4 goblins, 2 trolls, score!

The ref gave them a hit, Bribery regenerated it. Nice work, Goblins. Premier here we come.
