“XFL semi-final.

Ouch! Da Gitz took a real beating at the hands of the Ulthuan finalists. Da Crushas won the game on raw power, clearing the field of the opposition.

Da Crushas received first and set up a long drive with their AG5 lineorc as primary ball carrier. He was taken down several times, but Da Crushas were always in a position to recover the ball and move on up the field. Da Gitz kept pressure on the ball and the score in turn 8 required a dodge, a blitz, a pick-up and a hand-off. Not that hard, but not that easy either. Da Crushas played well to get a 1-0 lead at half time.

Da Gitz faced a blitz at the start of the second half. Da Crushas couldn't get under the ball however, so Da Gitz got the ball upfield down the left side. Da Crushas were a little out of position from the blitz and couldn't get enough orcpower to the sideline in time to stop the TD in turn 3.

Now the power of Da Crushas was beginning to tell, with only 10 Gitz players available for the last drive. Being outnumbered, Da Gitz tried to rush the offense before they could cage up, but Da Crushas protected the ball well and got a few more Gitz players out, sealing the match. Da Gitz fought bravely and suffered even more cas, forcing da Crushas to do a pick-up to score the winning TD in turn 8. Overtime would have meant even more of a beating, so this was probably for the best.

Well played Flix, I see you reputation and CR are well-earned. Good luck in the final, hope you win it.
