“Well, an interesting game.

I received the ball to start with and my first TD was rather standard, my opponent defense didn't concentrate so much on the ball as surrounding my war dancer the other side of the pitch. I would say the TD itself was particularly lucky, although all my blocks leading up to the TD were very good.

My opponents turn to receive amazingly (particularly for an elf team) he forgot to leave a player back for the ball! Luckily for him the kickoff roll was bad kick and he got a touch back. the next few turns were very even, with my opponent not being able to break though my defense and me being unable to get to his protected ball carrier. Finally on the 7th turn of the game I managed to manipulate a 2 dice block on the ball carrier, only to watch my blitzing player roll a skull & both down (against his Blitzer). My opponent took advantage of the gapping whole in my defense and scored an excellent TD.

The second half got of to a terrible start for me (both teams beginning with 10 men) there was a pitch invasion - stunning 4 of my players and not touching his! This shaped the whole second half for me, I wasn't fully able to recover for from my 1st turn where I only had 4 players that I could move. Somehow I was able not to concede a TD, mainly by lucky 1 dice blitz's on the ball carrier. by around turn 5 my thrower some how manged to get his hands on the ball and found a free lineman. although the lineman's initial drive was clearly doomed (no real protection) it did result in a bizarre sequence of events leading to the ball bouncing and being caught by my War Dancer - who was able to out run his slower elf cousins.

Overall I feel it was a fair result, although my final TD was extremely lucky my opponent was unable to take advantage of my terrible luck at the beginning of the half and my persistance paid off.

Great opponent, I look forward to the re-match.”
