“A slightly disappointing outing for Blackmountain. The TR difference gave us a few Handicaps to kick around. The Virus certainly helped, but Palmed coin was a bit of a waste. Overall, not a great lot of help to make up for the massive TR/TS difference leading into the match.

We had a fairly solid hold of the game leading towards the end of the first half but a rookie error or two on my behalf (plus a string of unlucky block rolls) lead to a late 1-0 lead for the rats. It's a shame because at that stage the game was definitely looking winnable. Symm's solid tactical play late in the half pinched the ball and managed to turn it into a late counter TD which was probably the turning point in the match for us.

We did manage to milk the Rerolls well enough to get a TD in the 2nd half and if we'd played a little more aggressive and intelligently (and if a few of those blasted KOs actually become Casualties), this result may have actually been reversed.

Full credit to the German Vermin. They managed to outplay us on the day and I look forward to a rematch down the track!”
