“Ogres vs Timlagor's lizardmen. They are giving up a handicap (bad press) and only have 8 players for the match- could be tough for them, though their players are well skilled up.

They kick deep and with a perfect defence put players on one sideline ready to rush after the ball carrier, but we recover well with most of the line repositioning on T1 to hold them back. By T4 we've KO'd a saurus and a skink and moved the ball to the half way line, but a couple of key bone heads and a failed dodge lets them blitz the ballcarrier, KO'ing him. Everyone piles in around the ball but no one can pick it up and time is running out. In the end we never recover the ball and the half ends.

Our AGI4 and a saurus remain KO'd so we set up 10 vs their 7. They pick up with a saurus on the first turn, though we then KO their MA8 saurus with a foul, and another with a block on T2. With just 5 players left they are still able to rush down one side with the ball, screening with 2 skinks, but by T3 we knock the ball free. That doesn't stop them picking it back up with their other saurus after a -2db blitz though!

We knock him over again and this time an ogre catches it! We move him into their half, and when they park their blodge SS/DT skink by him we manage to BH him on the first blitz. He's got 3 turns to make two turns worth of movement to their endzone, and we burn our only reroll passing his bonehead the first turn. 2 more boneheads in a row will mean no TD now.. but no he passes it on T7 and we take the lead!

We have one more turn each, but nothing happens.

GG Timlagor!”
