Finally - A game!
Yup, I finally donned the coaching jacket again. I was looking for a game for my rookie teams but had to settle for a match between two more experienced clubs.
Mountain Mashers (Dwarves) v.s. Abstract Furr (Skaven)
My Mashers came into the game with a perfect 5-0 record and were matched up against a 4-1-1 club. I was a bit worried at first because the skaven are very quick with good ball handling skills. The game plan going in was to tie up as many of their high skilled players as I could while slowly widdling down their line with bone jarring blocks.
The Mashers won the kick and decided to receive. The fans were so excited to see a match that one of our fans threw a rock! Thankfully, the player hit was only stunned.
The first few turns were defined by my team setting the tone. By turn 4, 3 of the skaven players had been KO'd. After a valiant effort by the shorthanded Skaven, they could only watch helplessly as Bagtok brought the ball over the line on the 6th turn to put the Mashers up 1-0.
On the ensuing kickoff the Mashers blitzed! It seems someone must have spiked the beer with some Bugman's brew! This allowed a Slayer to knock a gutter runner out of action (pushed into the crowd) to help slow down the rats. The pressure intensified even more as the Skaven thrower was blitzed and sacked on turn 7. The ratman desperately tried to save possesion by dumping it off but was intercepted by the Slayer Thror. He raced towards the endzone but alas the whistle blew before he could cross the line.
In the 2nd half the weather changed which must have have been a portent of things to come. As the Skaven set up their offense an awkward handoff led to a fumble at the half-line! This caused a slugfest all along the line of scrimmage which led to Hahib's takedown of an opposing rat (BH). The ball then changed hands back and forth for the rest of the half until the final whistle blew. The 47,000 fans were not thrilled about the 1-0 score and started to throw trash onto the field. The teams were quickly ushered off but the damage was done as both teams lost support from their boosters (FF decreased for both sides).
The game was a good one and I hope to have a rematch someday. Hats off to the coach of the Abstract Furr and I hope he meets more success in his next game.
One down, six more to go.
