“Aharrr, well I may have won this battle but I will not win the war. Early injuries meant that practically nothing could prevent an Orc victory. Cue Thorpe Star and his madcap antics, stir in some +ma sprint gutter runner and you have a recipe for an upset.

Surprisingly there were no OTT's, mostly because of the blizzard which engulfed the pitch as soon as the rats got the chance after the orc's first solid touchdown. The skaven got pressurised early into scoring in the 2nd half. The orcs just had to score once in 6 turns against a handful of skaven.

However, wasted rerolls and a double skulls left the ball open in midfield. The speed of the skaven sent the zippy gutter clear, only to be lightning bolted into the KO box. Fortunately the thrower was backing up and ran it in for the 2 - 1 lead.

Only one turn left, no chance right? Wrong! Injury time on the kickoff table and a wildly scattering touchbacked kick gave the orcs a storming chance. But again, a needless block resulting in pow/skull skull from a BO blocker and the game was over.

On to the Khemri!”
