“The skinks weren't looking forward to dorf season but a rusty CD outfit proved a far more comfortable start to the latest premier season than expected. Numerous small slips proved disastrous for the slavers as the dice were unforgiving after a couple of early breaks. Two rerolled two dice blocks and a rerolled one dice block on the ball carrier resulted only in pushbacks before Tarlil Kry'ir made a 5+ dodge (with break tackle) to score the first touchdown. That was about as good as it got though as with Xies-ler-aym once again calling the plays the skinks demonstrated two of their stock moves. A straight sideline drive ended the first half and although Cheaty momentarily slowed the skinks, Xies recovered Ckndtckaiouei's fumble and dealt the ball to Thndwdaieeu for the first right on half time. The first drive of the second half was the reversal play as the fast moving skinks darted from one sideline to the other, Xies again the architect, this time with Ckndtckaiouei managing to finish it off. Strong pressure from the defence and diminishing lizards on the pitch with Xies paying a penalty for shielding the rookie skinks by taking a BH dodging out of trouble necessitated an early score leaving time for the chaos to try and equalize. Nuffle was not smiling on them today though, a kick to the weak offensive side close to the line combined with a perfect defensive call set Eyeuieelinsh up to close out the game. When stompy fell trying to reach the ball it was wide open, Eyeuieelinsh darting in to gather and race up field before surviving a rerolled 3 dice hit to make the third.

3 pts: #2 Tarlil Kry'ir. The first half score showed why bull centaurs are on everyone's favourite kick list.

2 pts: #10 Cheaty. Not for the fouls, but for the blitz in the first half which stunned Ckndtckaiouei and almost prevented the skinks from scoring

1 pt: #8 Zahr'il Trih. Certainly took enough swings to hurt something and was always inconvenient. Fortunately for the skinks he didn't actually hurt anything.”
