“Har Ganeth kicked off their Blood Bowl career in style. LOS lineman 'Stabbsy' Brith went down hard after gentle prodding from Calladitos' hapless skelleton Jurl, and the Mentalists were a ten man team before they had even started their first turn.

Stabbsy, your particular brand of knife-wielding paranoia will be sadly missed.

The Dark Elves did, however, recover from this early setback. Although their myriad of blocks couldn't knock the damn Ghouls down, eventually the tackle zones proved too much and Tripich failed one of those 5+ dodges.

The Dark Elves made a brief foray down the wing, but questionable priorities and a failed GFI put Mad Hettie in the crowd - fortunately only for a KO. The resulting throw by the fans travelled across the pitch (an impressive eleven squares), falling nicely for Tripich to grab back.

Once again, he just wouldn't go down, but with four elves surrounding him, there wasn't much he could do.

With turn 8 looming, the Mentalists failed to knock the Ghoul down with one three and three two dice blocks. The first half ended 0-0.

The second half started with 9 Dark Elves on the pitch, but a pitch invasion made it 7 standing, versus 8 undead.

Mad Hettie ran out as decoy, and while the Undead tied themselves up penning her in, the Mentalists legged it down the other side of the field for the score - 1-0 with four turns to go.

Another break gave the Dark Elves the ball, but the coach wasn't watching the turn counter, and finished the seventh turn without making the GFIs neccessary to scoring in the eigth a possibility.

There was just time for Mad Hettie to score he first points - a one dice, turn 8 block resulting in double pow. Two men went down, but only one came up. Two points to the Witch Elf for the serious injury.”
