“At the dressing room players whined: "Why do we always have to play against orcs? They are so big and ugly!" Anyhow the game started well and we scored after little fumbles.

Then the orcs came with their full power and easily made the score even. The end of the half was horrible: fumbled balls and weak tackles. We just played to endure even though we nearly got to scoring position just before half time. Last thing was a foul which put our ogre to hospital.

Second half, 10 players on the field, and we are kicking. We struggle, but orcs use their material advantage and score.

But there is still time (and 9 players)! We try from the side, but fumbble an easy ball third time. Orcs are pressing hard and only thing to do is to get the ball safe, near own goal line. Catcher Riia has the ball and our thrower is running towards opponents end zone! We advance carefully and try to get more players to opponents field. Troll of the other team is pressing hard our ball carrier so it's time to pass the ball and hope for the best. You guessed it, Riia fumbles the ball.

But also the orcs drop the ball! With all hope gone we try one last time. Viina stands up and running some extra steps blocks hard an orc blitzer guarding our blitzer Maija. Maija runs down the field, gets the ball in front of couple amazed orcs and dodges away. She runs up, passes the ball, and misses... But the ball scatters to Liia who manages to catch it! She dodges away from her guard and runs towards the end zone. She scores just in time!

Those fans who left two minutes early are going to regret it.
