“We're up against Calthor's rotters who unlike these ogres have had a sterling win record: 5/2/0 so far!

We receive first and see an ogre + their beast KO'd in the first turns. But then their hits really start counting, with another ogre KO'd and a gobbo BH'd. They then clobber the ball carrier (half way into their half) and swarm backwards with beastmen. They seize the ball with their DP and on T6 dodge him away and make the pass to another one downfield.

We get in a good turn now, blitzing over the ball carrier and MNG'ing a rotter while covering most players around the ball. They still manage to grab it and run into range of the endzone... but a great 1d blitz by a gobbo (both-down) puts and end to their chances of scoring this half! We have also KILLED one of their beastmen, and they get a beastman sent off on T8 fouling with the ref watching.

2/2 of our ogres wake up and 3/3 of their players including the beast, so we now have 10 vs 8, kicking off with a bad kick and a touchback. They swarm to the halfway line but a good turn sees us BH two beastmen while containing the ball, and on T3 they are forced to dodge through with a lone beastman holding the ball.

With double 1s on the bonehead roll when we try and 3d blitz him all we can do is leave him marked by an ogre + gobbo... but he 1d blitzes for both-down and then dodges and GFI's to score the TD!

It's now 10 vs 6 but we have only 5 turns left in the game. A touchback helps us out and we hand it to our MA6 ogre on the LOS and then run him straight into their half- but they can immediately 1d blitz him over with a block-beasty.

They swarm everyone they have in and a couple of poor turns by us with untimely boneheads and a double skulls leave us in trouble. On T7 they KO our +AGI gobbo while we fumble the pickup, and on T8 when we try and make space for a last desperate TD attempt we roll double both-down on our first block.

Well won Calthor!”
