“Round II of the Minors 150 and it's a mirror match- khemri vs khemri.

The teams are pretty similar with us with 2x +AGI and them with 2x +STR and a similar amount of skills on all players. What may help us is we have 4 spare players at kickoff in our reserves bench while they have none! (helped by their leader skelly niggling out and our +agi one playing)

They receive but a wide kick forces them to go for it to grab the ball and we are gifted by a double 1 and a KO for their str 4 thro-ra! We get the better blocking but they manage to run a thro-ra diagonally through the brawl and sprint downfield. When our blitz-ra chasing him slips on the GFI (paying back their earlier double 1s with our own) it means they are clear through and we can't reach him! When they score they have 3 mummies, one blitz-ra and the scoring thro-ra left on the pitch! The khemri fans go wild!!! Wait, who's cheering for who here!?

They defend for the remaining few turns with 4 mummies + 3 others, but even with the mummies sitting right back in defence they are just too slow and we're able to split them away and then with much sprinting run in the equaliser just as the half blows!

We will receive vs 9 of the enemy- if we play carefully we should be ok. We push up slowly but there's one dodgy spot when after our mummy blitz ends in double 1s on the GFI and we're left open- 3 mummies and their +STR thro-ra surround the ball carrier and his mummy guard... fortunately we're able to GFI a skeleton in to take out 2 assists then knock out the thro-ra and finally dodge away with the ball (it was the agi 3 as usual with the ball) - but could have turned horribly against us at that point if we'd gotten double 1s again (or similar). Once we've pushed through we are pretty safe and our numbers advantage starts to take it's toll - first one mummy then another retire to the cas box (we manage to kill the STR6 mummy with our DP at this point but he regens) and soon they are down to a single skeleton on pitch. On our 2nd last turn we knock him down and approximately 6 mummies and skeletons pile around while our miraculously still on the pitch DP runs up and jumps on.. stun!! No pitch clearing for the fans today!

Thanks for the game anyway Sboub. On further reflection you are right, except for twice when I tripped on a GFI with reroll, pretty much every roll I made went my way. Nice work on taking the lead with 5 players vs 9 or 10 though!!”
