“The Thundering Hooves team won the toss and decided to receive while the weather was fine. They lined up ready to receive, but were obviously feeling a little groggy from the previous night's ale consumption as the Filter team Blitzed!.

Putting the "hooves" under pressure, the game had swung fully into Filter's favour and scored late in the 1st half.

From turn 6 there wasn't much the Hooves could do but they battled on.

The 2nd half saw good play from both sides put Filter pushed home for their 2nd TD. It was then up to the Hooves to try and pull one back.

And then the rain fell.

Hobgoblins aren't reliable ball handlers at the best of times, and despite rerolls they failed to pickup or throw the ball on 2 vital occassions. However the fighting spirit was not gone as Red Rag and Stocky Grak both put a Filter player out of action... Groin was SI'd and will miss the next game. Despite the higher number of blocks and splats dished out by Filter they failed to find a chink in dwarf armour, although they did seal the match with a fine in rain pickup and run in for a TD by Fidel, who played very well and deserved the MVP he received!

A good honourable match... if a little one sided. Gl to Neander in the next round!”
