“Watford Khornets and the Legion of Chaos All Stars 2 - 1 Real Sociedead

After the Khornets went AWOL to attend the secret wedding of one of their Goat stars and his bride, let’s face it - probably coach Russo, Real were at the local Teleport to herald the Khornets arrival back at the OBBA... what they weren’t expecting though is that they wouldn’t be alone.

We’ve all done it. Teleported overseas, overdone the spending at the duty free, aftershave, alcohol, tobacco, sunshades, 'Ripper' f***** Bolgrot, Lord B***** the Despoiler – oh no, wait – we haven’t, that’s just the damn cheating Khornets!!!

Yes when the Khornets declared that they “didn’t care about the cup” Real had thought that meant:
“We’re going to lose this game, but make it look like we tried; you know, not be really dumb and lose the game 6 – 1 in a blatant Muppet type affair!” (Disclaimer: no Goos were harmed in the forming of that sentence. ;) )

But what it actually meant was:

“We will be spending every scent of that 150000 gold coins in an effort to defeat you despite the fact we only have 12 players and really could do with at least one more!”

It was enough to make a grown Necromancer cry.


The Khornets elected to receive, and despite fielding a list of Who’s Who of the Chaos World on the LOS they seemed to only manage to push the LOS duty Zombies around the field. Nevertheless Real found themselves unable to really capitalise on the Khornets ineptitude as they were penned in by a wall of muscle that even the Real Mummies seemed perplexed of how to penetrate.

The slight Khornets stall to the start of the game didn’t take long to recover however and the claws began to make mince meat of Real, after just a quarter into the game Real had a badly hurt Wight, and four other players in the KO box and this was soon followed by John Scales untimely death!

Despite this, the remaining few Real players forced the Khornets to score earlier than they would have liked and left Real with a slim chance of returning the score before the end of the half.

0 - 1

Eager for redemption the whole of Real’s KO’d players returned to the field and most of them took to the LOS, eager to sacrifice their safety for the opportunity of levelling the game. But as the ball was kicked, the Khornets caught Real off guard and blitzed the defence!

The Chaos Warriors ran to the LOS to support their team mates at the LOS, and a score of others took down the Count... (who I conveniently neglected to mention at the start of this report).
Real had lost the opportunity to score and worse still the opportunity to deliver a little damage prior to the second half. A last minute Khornet foul saw their player ejected.


The second half and it was Real’s chance to receive, and they hoped that this time they would be the ones striking first.


Despite an earlier cock up after Fredrik Olsson managed to knock himself to the ground Real got their act together and began doing what they do best, removing the defence. However, their means of doing so was somewhat unorthodox for them. Despite multiple blocks and several gang fouls on Khornet players their armour would just not break, and so the Real coach devised new and ingenious ways of surfing the Khornets players into the crowd, 3 of them at least. The crowd however were disappointing, managing at best a single KO. But that combined with a couple more KOs saw fit to allow Real to run riot amidst the remaining Khornet players and more than comfortably take the game to OT.

1 - 1

By the time OT started the Khornets were back to full 11 men and receiving.
One Zombie was sent immediately to the CAS box, but the Khornet defence was slack and Real managed to blitz the ball free by a Ghoul with a zombie assist. That brave Ghoul was then quickly dispatched to the CAS box by the game winning John Barnes, who seemed to remove a player with each block!

By the half way stage Real were down to 7 men, but despite this they once again worked the ball free, but were unable to capitalise on the spill. The Khornets gathered the ball again and mounted another attack. In one play a Wight was KO’d and then... ... a sudden silence befell the stadium as Victor Casadesus Castano was knocked to the floor and KILLED!!! The silence was immediately followed by great sighs of relief as the Real star was amongst only two players to regenerate that day.


Five versus Ten was a big ask for Real who now saw only the coin toss as a viable result, but the Count was up for the challenge thanks to Real’s dedicated removal of the Khornets tacklers earlier in the game. In the final two plays of the game the Count manage to total three blocks against the Beastman ball carrier... but fortune favoured the Khornets, and not once did the Beastman fall.

1 - 2

Real’s Cup Dream was once more over for yet another season and now they find themselves eagerly anticipating season seven and on the scout for a new DP worthy to fill John Scales dirty boots.

A very good and tough game.

Seemingly who ever had the drive was the one in control of the game. As Wotfud received in OT I knew it spelt disaster for us after the way the first half went. But with him without a RR for almost the whole of OT I had hoped that if the count sacked the BC that it might go to the coin, sadly I never got to find out despite 6ds in total in the last two turns.
John Barnes was a demon and seemed to do relatively little in normal time compared to OT where he was on fire! I fouled the guy about three times in the second half with 3 assists and couldn’t shift the sob – in fact my CAS was very disappointing throughout... even the crowd were poor. :(

Wotfud has a very solid team and I don’t envy Shades in the next round at all!

GG Wotfudboy and GL in the remainder of the tourney... I hope you get to maul Gritter or Russo on your way to the final. :)
