Well, that was poorly played by some uninspired elves. After messing up their drive, and thanks to good defending by the necro, they started loosing elves and the necro countered. The second half looked like a walk in the park, but some complacency snuck in for the necro who got so hung up in kicking elf hidings, they forgot to safeguard the ballcarrier well enough. After a couple attempts the elves got him down and managed a wild marked pickup, throw and catch for a maimed elf to make a run for the equaliser.

That was a mad game to watch! Hehe, yeah! It was weird to play. Got that block like snotlings-feel again until right at the end where suddenly the impotent elflings managed to stop what seemed like a certain loss, as Jakala put it.

Caiman Excise Dodgers 1-3 Deep Rooted Loyalty
Neither Coach came away thinking they’d won this game. The Dodgers are out of the playoffs because they couldn’t learn defensive lessons, and the elves are out of the playoffs because puny elf bodies break too easily.
The elves deserved to win the game, as the lizards just couldn’t work out how to contain the Wardancers and therefore found that every attack broke down as an elf leapt into the cage and sacked the ball carrier. Coach Haugster was already celebrating an easy win when his team crumbled in the last two turns, At the end of the game, an experienced lineelf and multi skilled catcher were dead. Piled on top of the corpses was a crippled thrower, who may never regain the coordination necessary to throw the ball again. Absolutely brutal.

In many respect the elves had a great game tonight, winning 3 to 1 against the lizards they lost 2 to o against earlier. The deaths of their star catcher Humility and the trusted Loyalty, and alos the maiming of their leader and thrower, Honour, was however a big loss. Their coach Haugster was overheard mumbling about "cursed fucking gnoblar", or something in that regard, so their future is now very uncertain. Frightening screams were also coming from the quarters of the Loyalty's apothecary, who failed to save said catcher. Those in the vicinity of the frightful and horrific shrieks had hurriedly ran in the opposite direction, describing the noise "like what I would imagine a goblin getting his bullocks fed to starving rats while they were still attached would sound like".

Wiccan Athletic 0 2 Fairies with Boots The game started so well for the Chaos boys with a KO and a kill with the first two blocks. They proceeded to drive ominously down the sideline and looked to be going in for the opening score. Down to 9 and with their coaches memories of the Athletic fucking up his Kislev team the Woodies thought fuck this shit and started attacking the cage. What followed was a defensive TD so disgusting i'm not going to try to describe it.
The Woodies hid for the rest of the half knowing they'd get the ball to start the second half.
I scored a nice (if i say so myself) TD early in the second half to make it two nill. Desparate to get back into it the goats tried to pass the ball with predictable results and the only thing that stopped me getting a third was a failed GFI, albeit one of three needed.
Cheers for the game Valis.

Well, actually no, not this time, but could only field 7 for second half, as usual. Lost 3 players to cas on one turn, saved one, but got none of my 3 ko's back to second half (had Eldril, who I also lost).
Barely managed to score receiving in the first half, and not managing to stop the necro replying with dwindling numbers and nothing really working. Second half was easy stalling score with elves trying and failing shit each turn..

Sadly no deaths :-(
Yeah, I pulled off a 2-1 grind, scoring in the last turn of each half.
I thought for a while I wasn't removing enough elves from play to have much of chance, but a small flurry of casualties plus none of the KOs waking up gave me the numbers advantage needed to have a shot against the woodies.
Still felt pretty nervous with both star war dancers refusing to stay off the pitch, but thankfully they just could not land a leap and the Ghouls were very happy to take advantage every time an elf fell flat on their face.
