It would appear I have somehow wriggled my way into the playoffs so lets get on with it and send me back into the slums where I belong.
When is good for you BigCarrick? I'm free Mon-Wed evening from around 7pm (GMT) or I can do almost any time Fri-Sun.

DICKEN'S CIDER DOMINATE IN FIRST ROUND OF PLAYOFFS!
Before the match neither team could really believe their luck in reaching the glory of the playoffs. By the end of the match however, the Daesh rats must have felt thay had left all that luck back in the group stages. The Dicken's lads must have been sharing the cider (tall, stiff, and a great head - MsMiggins88 via Twatter) pre-game as the gutter runners have had a shocker in pure contrast to the frankly dazzling display put on by the wardancers (there are rumours that the rat ogre missed the game due to a horrific apple scented hangover, the Dicken's spokesperson has declined to comment).
Dicken's won the toss and elected to receive. the ball was neatly scooped up and they were able to run an early touchdown when an unlucky Daesh rat took a stumble trying to chase the wardancer down. Play resumed with a deep kick to the rats, a small tussle around the scrimmage line was followed by a gutter runner failing to pick up the ball (just the beginning of their troubles). The rest of the half consisted of wardancers making glorious leaps into Daesh cages and thumping the gutter runners on their tails. The rats were able to resist this attack for a time but were ultimately turned over when the ball went free and a tidy pass allowed the second wardancer to run in a touchdown. The Daesh rats looked to set themselves up for a quick score in the dying moments of the first half and the only bit of skill on show by any gutter runner all day was performed with a glorious pass almost the full width of the pitch to their star gutter runner (the fastest sonofabitch alive) who promtly fluffed the catch.
Half time:
Dicken's Cider 2-0 Daesh Mortar Pits
The second half started and the rats must have been out for blood as they immediately killed one the the Dicken's journeyman (what was his name? who cares) and it descended into a bit of a scrap. The treeman clearly wasn't interested however and immediately rooted to the ground miles away from anyone and began picking squirrels out of his arse. From here it was a repeat of the first half with wardancers making leap after leap to knock down the ball carrier. Eventually the ball went clear enough to pass out to a waiting runner who could casually walk it in and make it 3-0. The rats replied with a mad dash almost all the way to touch line in seconds (that rat is so damn fast!) but he was taken down by a wardancer before he could grab the consolation touchdown. At this point the rats frustration was showing and they started making some not-so-legal blocks but the ref didn't seem interested in the protests of the Dicken's lads. This only got worse until some filthy rat bastard stamped on a wardancers hand and he was carried of the pitch crying, though not in pain, he was left wondering how he was going to lift his victory cider (I had one in me and it rocked my world! - NannaBigGumms1930 via Twatter). The apothecary looked him over but after deciding the injury may be terminal he was promptly sent back to his tent to rethink his medical degree. Despite this upset the second wardancer was able to walk in a 4th in the final seconds of the match.
Final score
Dicken's Cider 4-0 Daesh Mortar Pits
Savanna the wardancer was absolutely on fire for the whole game and ultimately recieved the MVP resulting in him levelling up twice in one game. After some lovely rolls the Dicken's Cider boys now have 2 AG5 wardancers!
Cheers for the game mate, it must have been horrid on your end (The dice statistics tell the story quite nicely)

OK Dave, let's get this rat-fest organised. Have you arranged this deliberately so you can get revenge on my poor little rats?
Would you be able to do Monday or Tuesday evenings, 7:30pm-10pm? Might be able to find some time at the weekend if not.

Even though I posted this in the wrong thread, I can do any evening.

I've only partially resolved the issue which led to me missing my final OHC game. Things are currently stable enough, so hopefully they don't regress!

8pm Monday it is. You can still play your OHC game. I've left it open for you to get at it if you wish.
