“XFL High Elf III first round.

Scared utterly shitless of meeting last seasons champions in the first round, the Grey Havens Gladiators management team had spend all available cash on bribing the ref and hiring the services of a wizard and the Prince.

Last mentioned was prior to the game quoted to say (though he would later deny it ) "If To Heir is Elven wont hire me, I'll show them a thing or two".

The Prince did play a major part, never letting go of the ball in the first half, and running a lucky TD in for a 1-0 lead at halftime, after the wizard had cleared the way (and an opportunistic foul had almost blocked it again).

The bribe to the referee also paid off big time, as he kindly looked the other way each time a foul send of a THIE elf off the pitch.

Second half saw a decimated THIE team take the pitch and loose the ball halfway through.
Through hard efforts of their super star dragon warrior they managed to get it back, equalizing in the dying seconds of the 2nd half.

Feeeling confident with their strenght in numbers and 2 RR to nil for overtime, GHG set up to do a feeble try for a OTT.
Somehow they managed to succeed (for the first time in the Coach's history) and GHG were through to the next round.

Thx for the game PM.”
