“Handicaps were I Am the Greatest and Bribe the Ref.

A tough game against a more developed team (3 players with over 51 spp).

The Trains went the way of the boot early, injuring a rookie Lino and using up their Bribe the Ref handicap.

The Trains had a number advantage on the field and advanced the ball deep, only to loose it through fixating on a foul and leaving their ball carrier exposed to a one dice block.

The Trains recovered the ball and transported it deep, and used their Apoth on a MNG from a foul after the Elves DP was sent off to hold a greater player advantage.

The Trains returned a foul but were also sent off leaving the ball carrier exposed to a blitz and the ball was lost!

The Apocolypse were unable to score though and the score was 0-0 at half time.

In the second half, the Apocolypse started with only 7 players, but were able to effect an easy score when a rock thrown from the spectators took out one wing defender (BH) leaving a Catcher to be blitzed away.

The Trains lined up on offence with 10 vs 8 more highly skiilled players (I had only 2 players on the pitch with more than 1 advance).

The Apocalpse played tough defence and put tackle zones on the ball carrier a couple of times, but the Trains were able to roll away each time.

Eventually, there were not enough Elves on the pitch to stop the Trains from delivering the ball to Touch Down station but the Trains made almost caused a derailment when they tried transferring the ball from one carriage to another and dropped the ball to make the last few turns interesting.
------------
A very tough match with my cruddy team. I should have secured the first TD in the opening half, but greed (thinking I could foul a player hehe) cost me the score.

Nyberg played very well and kept me under pressure, so I look forward to a rematch some day to test our coaching skills on the pitch once more.”
