Unholy shit!
Finally the chaos dwarfs show they have some fight and skill in them. The match ended turn 24 in overtime after the chorfs had finalized a pitch clearance the turn before. The short had some luck (or the elves lacked it even after stealing two of the dwarves' RR with a chef before the game) in the beginning of the game, managing to pick up the ball, an elf stumbling in his own feet and the wizard fumbling his spell, albeit after the dwarves made a mess for themselves with an early fumbled block.
At half time, however, it looked like it was in the balance with the elves managing to hold off the dwarves who received first with some good blocking at the end of the half. Some strong punches made it difficult for the dwarves to advance in numbers and the elves managed to make a wall it turned out the ball carrying hobgob could not get around. The elves were starting to feel the cut, but only 3 elves out and 2 important hobgobs out with ko and didn't return made it look even.
Despite the chef again stealing 2 RR, the second half saw the elves' numbers dwindle fast, however, and soon the game was beyond Shiny and his elves' reach despite them scoring a quick TD with some fancy elf play. After that, it seems the inner elf left them for a while, since they started failing dodges and sprints. The dwarfs managed to score in their last turn in the half and at this point there was only 4 or 5 elves left to see it. The game went into overtime.
With the dwarves winning the toss this time and electing to receive, something big had to happen for the elves to make trouble in overtime. It didn't and the dwarves blocked and fouled till there was no elves left on the field. 9 CAS of which 3 were kills (one more saved to statbust) and the rest knocked out. Thanks for the match, Shiny! You played well for the entire thing, but you had no chance in the end without pleyers on the field.
