“The frozen pitch of the bloodbowl field was as unforgiving as ever. On a day when the down-with-their-luck Purple Horseshes wished to earn their first win, they were able to at least avoid their 5th loss in a row. The Highelves of the Felagund Warriors proved to be too speedy and crafty for the downtrodden humans.

The game opened promising for the humans, when they blitzed the opening kickoff and Catcher, Ronald E. Anderson streaked down the sideline for the quick score. For both teams, though, that would be the only score until the waning seconds.

During the rest of the first half, the Warriors concentrated on knocking out some of the Horseshoe players. With fewer numbers on the pitch, the elves liked their chances a little better. The elves had good ball movement, but they were unable to punch the spiked pigskin into the endzone.

The second half started much the same as the first. The weather continued to provide treacherous footing, and there were many humans and elves alike that hit the pitch on their back when trying for one more step. The Warriors continued with their first half success of sending opposing humans into the stand with solid sideline blocks.

After a brief moment, where the humans threatened near the elven goalline, the elves made a methodical and surgical insertion into human territory. In the waning seconds, an elven player streaked toward the goalline along the sideline. Unfortantely for him, he was blindsided by Wally Hilman and sent into the first row bleachers. The fans gladly plucked the ball from his outstretched hands and heaved it into the middle of the Horeshoes territory. From there, human players swarmed and made one last attempt to score. Blitzer, Stanley Duval made some daring moves, picked up the ball and heaved it towards the waiting hands of Ronald E. Anderson. Unfortantely for Stanley, an elven player caught it, made a B-line straight for the endzone and shuffle-passed it to the waiting Warrior as the last seconds ticked off the clock.

It was a great game, and even had a delay while the zamboni came out and smoothed out the ice. There was only one concerning injury to the Horseshoes, so they may be at full strength for thier next match. Thanks to the opposing coach. It was a hard fought, well-played match.”
