“Hot orc on orc action! Ratings are almost identical though our BoBs are more skilled (and they have just 3) but they have a super +STR block troll.

We opt to receive and at kickoff our fans get the ref! We have one DP and they have two - this is going to be messy! By T2 both apos have been used (-AV on a blitzer and a kill on their supertroll). T3 and they manage to steal the ball with their +AGI blitzer, though ours gets back to knock it free.

There's a bit of a brawl around the ball but we can't manage to remove any players while they have KO'd 2 of ours and suddenly we are in trouble. T5 and they steal the ball while knocking down almost our entire team, and by T7 they have handed it to a rookie black orc who we will not be able to reach. They get a DP sent off MNG'ing our rookie blitzer while we BH a rookie BoB and KO a blitzer before they score.

2/2 of our KOs sleep on while theirs wakes up so we have 10 vs 10 as we kick off.

We kick and push players deep into their half after the ball, but their screen of players keep us away from the thrower. On T4 just as things are looking a bit dangerous for them they swap sides and make the long pass with their thrower to a waiting blodge blitzer who runs deep into our half. It's all we can do to get a tackle zone on him but he dodges away to make it 2-0.

At least now we have 11 vs 9 as they kick off- and straight away our DP fouls their troll into the BH box in return for a ban. For once our attack works out and we're able to score in 3 turns with a black orc who needs a skillup making it 2-1 with one turn left each. A blitz will really help us here!

And we roll the blitz! We rush our players through with our AGI4 blitzer catching the kick in the middle of their half with 2 other blitzers standing around him. Instead of trying to knock him over they content themselves with getting 2 blitzers and their diving tackle DP standing beside him, but we're able to free up his neighbour by pushing away the DT, and he catches the handoff and makes a 3+ dodge and 2x GFIs to score the unlikely equaliser!!

GG elkram!”
