“A close matchup on paper, the Hellbringers found themselves under immense pressure when one of their veteran Chaos Dwarf Blockers didn't show up due to a niggling injury.

Despite having some amazing effectiveness in penetrating the Golden Axe armour and regularly stunning or knocking out players, the Hellbringers only just managed to score late in the opening period after the Golden Axe threatened to steal the ball on several occasions.

In the second period, the Golden Axe combined well to score a TD when the Hellbringers failed to bring down the receiver in the backfield (2 dice block, rerolled). The Golden Axe then played very tight defence that again made it extremely difficult for the Hellbringers to score a TD. Extremely difficult, but not impossible and the Hellbringers manage their 14th win from 18 games.
----------------
A very tough match. I had the advantage most of the game in the midfield where I had more players with more skills, whereas my opponent had many players on the bench with a 1-2 skills that they did not get to use as the drives were so long. My opponent played very well and draw would also have been a fitting end to this match.”
