“The Ogres' notoriously poor 100tr performances has been kept at bay thanks to outstanding doses of Ridiculo-luck (TM) in a fun but decidely weird game.

The reason the Friendly Fellows' luckometer is so low is because of Bonehead rolls. Although they had a tendency to leave gaping holes in my defence, they aren't game-killers. DonTomaso's ones on dodges, pick-ups and passes, however, were.

The match could oh-so-easily have finished 2-2 (or even 1-2) and only a massive run of 3+ dodges, a 3+ pass/catch combo and two GFIs gave me the third touchdown, and the corresponding flattering scoreline.

In the first half the Fellows suffered only a couple of Boneheads and the pows were flowing freely. Only one casualty, but he was the lone block skilled Dragonwarrior and he fell very early on. The Ogres kicked-off but scored first, only to see the elfs pull one back in turn 8. The half finished 1-1.

The second half began a little fairer, with the Dodgers enjoying the better of the luck. After winning the ball back from the Ogre's, they looked the more likely scorers - until, that interception-on-a-6 from George. The team's mastermind then scampered off to score the crucial second td.

Failed passes were the bane of the High Elves, and it was from a scattered long bomb that little Johnny Elfkisser was able to score the third and final touchdown.

With very few turnover-saving skills (the Dodgers had a catcher, and my gobbos had dodge) and only one reroll each, this was always going to be something of a luck free-for-all. As it turns out, Nuffle loves me the most. Hurrah for Nuffle.

Next time indeed.”
