“The Carcassonne Legionnaires win this race in a fairly violent manner. The key to the victory is the number of removals in their favour and the tightrope walker halfling Marcus Menus: although the Silencieux de l'Isle Muette played an almost perfect first drive (and we can't say that about the Legionnaires who get confused with all those Guards & Defensive skills and get surfed by the ST4 Blitzer which fortunately for them does not die) they did not manage to cause many removals, so the Carcassonne Legionnaires started the second drive with 2 Rerolls and the almost full team. The aforementioned Halfling turned into an wardancer-elf for a moment and jumped over at least four opposing players (after having been awarded of ball in hand for an offside kick) scoring the temporary draw .

In the second half the Carcassonne Legionnaires play with the knife between their teeth, (and between the hands: especially of the two professional foulers of the team who removed at least 3 players) but it must be said that the dice of the removals was very favorable to our Legionnaires, a couple of big hits from the Ogre and the Blitzer send two players to sleep immediately. Despite the numerical superiority the Silencieux de l'Isle Muette find a way to take the ball away from a culpably unprotected Brooke Hallgerd (the rest of the team was busy fouling).
Finally when removals become predominant it was easy stall from Legionnaires with the opposite team reduced to 3 players on the pitch.

Despite the losses the Silencieux de l'Isle Muette founded a smart way to develop 2-solution 1TTM opportunity with halfling or side-step catcher in the last turn of 4th drive! But perhaps also due to the limited number of players (and especially rerolls) or the frenzy-player positioning they did not succeed in the feat which perhaps would have been well deserved!

The Carcassone Legionnaires can celebrate but their coach still needs to work a lot on ball protective defensive schemes because next time the removal dice will be not so favorable!

Thanks Thoriin for the game! See you next time!”
