“This game was a classic confrontation between the running game and the bash'n'crash style, with the Polecats eventually running out winners on a failed dodge by the Lords on the second last turn. It was the Lords who scored first, stringing together seven consecutive rolls of 3 or more to take the ball almost the length of the field from a Polecat turnover. Fumbles either way meant that the half time score was still 1-0 to the Lords, with the Polecats kicking in the second half.

However, in the lizardmen's favour was the early death of a high elf dragon warrior. With the Lords' other DW (the formidable Prince Mordomillian du Lac) missing the game through injury, the fact that another Lord couldn't shake off the effects of a first-half KO for the rest of the match left the elves dangerously weak with only 9 on the field.

In the end, the Polecats' staggered defence managed to hold out in two running plays to the right. The Lords threw their two lion warriors and their +1AG lineman into the attacking half, hoping their star thrower could get the chance to effect the win, but a couple of crucial fumbles and dodges meant that the Polecats got a skink over the line with one go-for-it on turn 8. The only dark spot for the lizardmen was the late death of the star skink Joker.”
