Whether or not you were a neutral, or a fan of one of these two teams, this match had everything - and I mean everything. It was a so-called friendly, if there can be such a thing in the brutal world of Blood Bowl, but you would certainly never have guessed it!!
The match started in foul weather, and as a result, there was more fumbling than at a teenage disco (have I used that line before?!) The Slayers were living up to their name and hitting hard, and it was not long before bodies were going down.
Umenyiora (God rest his non-existent soul) scored an early touchdown by showing a burst of speed, to make it 1 - 0. However, a terrible set up at the kick off meant that the Cackers were immediately able to break down one of the flanks. It looked certain they would score, but the Slayers did a rather good job of recovering. To boot, they put in a tackle, got the ball back, sent it down the park, and Umenyiora made it 2 - 0.
An then, and EXTRAordinary occurrence. Boney M was killed in a tackle.....but then, wait, who is that playing for the Slayers? Why, it's Boney M - cunningly brought back to life, and with a new shirt - a Slayers shirt!!
Tragically for the Cackers, they lost another man too - the promising Ash was also taken from us before his time. But the death count did not end there!! By the time it was 3 - 1 to New York, thanks to an Umenyiora hat trick, and the result was no longer in question, creekmoor turned his mind to other things......namely, REVENGE. He send his big guy, Whoseyer, on a special assignment to kill the hat trick scoring Umenyiora........and like a true assassin, he completed the task on his own, and without fuss.
Unfortunately, creekmoor showed a slight lack of inexperience, and missed out on a lovely slice of gloating - Umenyiora could have been regenerated and brought over to the Dark Side, but the opportunity was inexplicably turned down.

A quite remarkable, late night match.”
