#2 Doj-Dowo II – Broken Ribs (MNG)
#2 Doj-Dowo II – Broken Neck (-AG)
In our second ever matchup with those dodgy Amazons, we were a bit worried. Our first game had been somewhat of a shambles as we'd been ineffective practically everywhere. Today was different.
It started off badly for us, a rock flying from the crowd to smash Doj-Dowo's Knee. Then they managed to remove Hicudi Chi to the BH box early on. Turn 2 they score.
We receive (this time our fans rock hits one of their players) and we're going along quite nicely, but stupidly we leave huge holes in our offence, and we concede the second touchdown in turn 5.
Something, somewhere, went right.
We received again and the pitch was invaded. 2 amazons and one skink go down. this left us with 7 standing players. However, because the kick was so far back we maintained control, and we forced the OD block against the ball carrier and they skulled. Turn 7 we manage to peg one back. 1-2
With one turn left nothing special happens in the first half.
We receive, and they get a blitz. This actually worked in our favour in the end, as they ran forward, past us, and we got the ball and it was a simple matter of running it through. 2-2 at turn 2.
At this stage the luck had really turned and was giving the Amazons a mauling. They were down to 0 re-rolls quite quickly and it really cost them.
They had the ball secured, but the failed gfi KO'd the ball carrier and then it was on. We grabbed the ball and ran it upfield at speed, and once more bad luck struck as Laurie failed her blitz when she failed to dodge. A simply push off the ball carrier allowed him to run in. 3-2 turn 5.
Injury time holds up the game, working to our advantage. We have a history of losing on the last turn, but with only three turns to go and no way of chain promoting, we cannot lose (barring a blitz etc). Our confidence soars, as the amazons seem to falter. A failed block on turn 7 meant that they had nobody in range to score, as Skinktacular! walked off with a nailbiting victory!

GML, thanks for the game! Perhaps the best coach I've ever played against.”
