“We faced the Green Tide here. Another big team but much leaner than ours. We set out with intent and despite the Orc wall we stood up to their early hitting and Kraklow was able to move to the flank. Alas the Black Wight should have moved one pace further from behind their line as a chainpush meant he could be blocked and then space was clear for a Superstar Orc to tackle Kraklow down! The ball was thrown in to our half and then there was a real swapping battle to keep hold of the ball. A dodging takedown blitz and pickup by Bonetaker, the skeleton was a highlight and he just prevented us going down before half-time. The Black Wight also smashed brutally into one of the Superstar orc blitzers. Their star would have been a big scalp but the Orc apo did a surprisingly good job on him.

The Mountain had been surrounded and ko'd but was back. Our hitting caused a one player numbers advantage in the 2nd half but the Green Tide broke through. We were still able to get a Ghoul 2DB wrestle success but the Orcs retrieved and our 1db chance failed. The Orcs finally got that ball over the line to win.

Tough opposition and we couldn't quite do enough but it was a fun match. Our Wights hitting and Bonetaker's dodging were impressive but all those stand firm, guarding Orcs were too much.”
