“This was a much more tense match than the score lets on.
A blizzard covered the game in snow, and what a gamechanger that was for the sea elves.
The first half, the Scrawls receive, and proceed slowly up the pitch, sure in the knowledge that Sea Elves can't blitz into the back to threaten Oshroz. Vro'moz, claw/mb/tackle Pink Horror, blitzes turn after turn. Oh, and we Got the Ref! and so we were fouling non stop as we marched up the field. To no avail - a KO or two was all we could manage. However, in turn, once the ball got far enough up the pitch, the Sea Elves could start blitzing Vro'moz (-AV Pink Horror) turn after turn with mb/tackle.. to no avail! Push push push skull push push push skull. A few KO'd blues was all that happened. We score on turn 5 because things were getting messy, and Sea Elves are slow right?
And then.. a pitch invasion takes down 5 of the Sea Elves. FIVE. Not enough left to both move forward and cover the ball, and the Sea Elves WANT that score tied up. But instead, we cover the ball with half a dozen Tzeentch Demons. The Elves manage a very iffy breakout, but drop the ball in the process. We put down everything that could have scored, but .. we want more as well. Rstenga, 3rd oldest Blue Horror on the pitch (who has never done anything noteworthy whatsoever) darts down picks up .. team re-roll! .. picks up the ball, dodges through two tackle zones, hands off the ball to Oshroz in a tackle zone, who then dodges out, and GFI's (in the Snow!) to score a second touchdown on turn 8.
The Snorkland Stars are very demoralized at this point, and start trying to kick things. The second half sees half a dozen Tzeentch demons removed from the pitch, including a crowd surf that KILLS the oldest Blue Horror on the team! (He was 14 games old, and still, no SPP.) And with that numbers advantage, the Stars score on turn 6. Ok that's not doing it justice. On turn 5, the Stars sprint in for a touchdown.. and trip on the goal line, and the ball is thrown SEVENTEEN squares down the pitch, halfway into the Stars own end zone! Then, the Scrawls clear the way to the ball, despite having few players left.. and the only Blue Horror that could pick it up trips on his face and stuns himself. So now there's a flamer between the Stars and the ball, and a bajillion squares to travel. Fine. Blitz down the Flamer, double gfi to the (in the snow!) short pass to catcher number one (in the snow!) who gfi's to catcher two, who sprints, uses sure feet, uses team re-roll, and gfi's a THIRD time (in the snow!) to score a turn 6 touchdown!
3 turns left.. or two turns for the Stars to equalize, as they actually have a numbers advantage by this point.
But, it was not to be. The massive Strength and Speed of Oshroz not only lets the ball get picked up safely near the back.. but he then lunges it forward and to a Blue Horror into scoring distance. The Stars can only get a push, and Oshroz, continue his massive run, blitzes that Star out of the way, allowing the Blue to get a turn 8 touchdown.
Thanks for the match captainmalkor! Good luck in the [SL]UMBBL Cup with your Sisters!”
