“My last match was terrible: Dribblesnot just rolled ones and blew himself up, and then the first thing he did in this match as well was fumble the ball and explode into tiny bits. "Here we go again" I thought, but then the Wimbledorc decided to do what I told them to for a change. With Leo Perol saved from a KO early on by the apo, the greenskins' blood really was up, and Halftime Oranges went on a demented spree, killing a blitzer, niggling Leo just to show that you don't get to avoid hurt, and taking out another innocent lineman before being sent off.

In the second half, with the Lions down to five men the orcs should have walked it in, but some good aggressive plays saw the carrier sacked and I started to get nervous that I'd binned it, before weight of numbers (and goblin armour that was near-impervious to anything that big ogre did) meant we got the ball away and scored. It's been a long time since we had a win, so maybe this is proof that the redraft worked!”
