“Having won their frist BB career match the Bangalore Packers and Movers were optimistic that they already had this sport sussed. How wrong they were! We came up against High Elves who looked soft but were not, and meant business.
Early on the Elves were having some trouble dodging around in their defence and were getting tripped up. But we were struggling to knock down our opposition and our thrower's speed is far from ideal. So we didn't advance so well. We moved to the middle but we left a little gap at the back where our thrower could be tagged. He could be blitzed free but there was a both down to the blockers, so the thrower had to push his foe away. After another failed Orc block the thrower was exposed and then blitzed and stunned to the floor! More failed blocking meant we couldn't pick up. Eventually the Elves got the ball and were away. No chance to catch them up. The Bangalore coach was ashamed of the Orcs hitting. Both down or skull fails almost every turn! Such is the risk at this level.
Second half the Elves got even better with a straight cas of a Black Orc! They then farmed a pass. They got cocky and tried a 2nd one but fumbled. We blitz pushed their catcher away from the ball, but wasted a rr on a Black Orc gfi, and then our blitzer failed what could have been a match saving pickup. The Elves romped off for 2-0 after a pass.
We then had a more productive drive but still couldn't hurt any pesky Elves. We were tight near a flank. A Black Orc tried to blitz some breathing space but after only a push he tried to sprint...and fell! We shouldn't run these guys it seems. The Thrower hadn't advanced yet so we were foiled once more. He was blitzed down and the ball scattered free. An Elf picked up and handed off to another, who then passed to a waiting catcher for a resounding 3-0.
48 blocks from Orcs and yet no casualties or KO's caused (1 from a dodge), and in fact outcas'd, shows the Orcs deserved this thrashing. A wake up call that this sport isn't all easy. Muscle from carrying burdens and deliveries isn't enough alone! ”
