“First Half: Ninja's receiving.

Ninjas managed a loose cage before breaking out with the Iron Man (Ryu Hayabusa) to score near the end of the half. The orcs pushed up-field to try and score an equaliser before half time but Ryu again was there to sack the ball carrier.

The Ninja's star catcher was almost stomped into retirement via foul but the ninja doctor used his acupuncture skills.

Ninjas went into the second half one up

Second Half: Horde receiving.

A slow and patient grind up the field saw the Horde get over the line on turn 15. There were some dodgy moments but good cover by the orcs secured the score. In the process the rookie ninja Scorpion was killed outright by a black orc.

In turn 16 the ninja's received and the game was held up for injury time. However, the rookie thrower (Kagero) couldn't get the ball to the front lines so the game ended 1 - 1

Was a good game against a chatty, friendly opponent. I was pleased to get a draw.”
