“Nice to bump into MerryZ in box.

Good fun chatting. The actual match felt like hard work; especially with a small crowd enjoying my every fail.

I guess tactically I hoped to cause some CAS and put enough pressure on to force an early score. But blitzing was a bit meh, and some vigorous fouling achieved no more than a sending off. 'Elftor Reaching Higher' stalled and scored with consummate ease, MerryZ coaching them well.

Second half Necro lined up a few players short, and a pitch invasion took three players down. Elves put the pressure on - and IP Stealers did what they could to hold them off for a few turns - but Nuffle wasn't giving out freebies and the ball was lost.

Two loses in a row for IP Stealers, shaving a big chunk off my coach rating; which is probably a fair reflection on my play. Not entirely sure where I am going wrong, probably too much basing-up in this game. Anyway hopefully I'm learning something, and Necro have good skills access, so fingers crossed results will improve.
