“Amazing Race Season 2 Group C Tournament Match! (What a mouthful).

First up match for these two teams. The Babes started strongly and could do nothing wrong, scoring a TD and knocking out a Wight in the process.

Hope's Ended started with ten players on the next drive and when their ghoul tripped with the ball close to the line of scrimmage, the Babes were again able to do nothing wrong as they scooped up the ball, sent it downfield and effected a score to take a 2-0 lead.

With two turns to go, Hope's Ended did not attempt to set up a score, but did apply pressure on the sideline to try and push a Babes player out of bounds.

The Babes responded by rushing the sideline, flattening Hope's Ended Werewolf and Zombie and then fouling the Werewolf (+4) with a lethal stomp to the head that killed him on the spot. (This is not what I wanted. I wanted a KO or a BH so that he would be off the pitch. Instead, it means Hope's End's next two opponents will have much easier games.) The referee saw the foul and sent the offending Babes linewoman off.

Second half was a hard fight for the ball. The Babes were in a position to steal the ball late in half but their Thrower tripped and injured herself (Serious Injury Miss Next Game!). Eventually, Hope's End scored and the teams lined up one last time.

A perfect defence by Hope's End caught several Babes players off guard on the line of scrimmage and during the tussle (I tried a pass first and failed badly, leaving my players stuck on the line) Babes Blitzer Jessica Alba was kllled and turned into a Zombie for the other team!
----------
A tough first match for us both, with Anadrael losing a 120K player and gaining a Zombie in return, whilst I lost a 90K player and have a player out for the next game.

Oh well, Lizzies to survive next, then some Dwarves! If I have a team left after that there might be some fun left in this tournament heh.
