“The WIL Premiership experiences a Dublin derby. Not pretty, but it is the result that counts in such games.
A first half where the teams took turns to fail basics was epitomised by Even Greener Grass of Home, who spent the half horizontal rather than vertical, unable to stand up. And then, just as the ref was about to blow up for half time the Cosmonauts remembered that they are woodies and pulled off an outrageous and improbable move to score. And for once it didn't involve Banks of Ohio, who missed his first game for Pine Valley after 76 straight outings.
Second half saw more theatrics from Even Greener Grass of Home, who again feigned death and lay like a lump in the middle of the park until Cold Hands, Dead Eyes said enough and fouled him off the pitch. But by then the Cosmonauts had sealed victory with an unusually routine second score.
That just left the MVPs to be awarded, and who wouldn't be impressed by a treeman failing to stand up for 14 turns?
Thanks for the game Clarkin.

We're up against Somertown's wood elves who bring a wizard and plenty of experience (previous WIL champions!) to the table. On our side we've hired the Count but vs woodies with a wizzie it's never enough is it?
They opt to kick in a blizzard and we fail to hand off the ball to the count on T1, and the ball bounces horribly back off the ghoul who drops the catch himself and then onto a terribly unprotected square. They rush in with a catcher, nick the ball and toss it downfield towards our endzone. The count rushes back, using a RR on the 3+ GFI and then dropping the pickup!
Their catcher then double 1s on a dodge, KILLING himself - though the apo saves him - and we finally pick up the ball with the count. We move forwards into their half at last and on T4 their tackle/strip wardancer comes leaping in for a -2d blitz... but lands awkwardly! That doesn't stop him going for a leap and double GFI the following turn, getting a double pow and KO'ing the count! Ouch!
Fortunately their other wardancer fumbles the pickup and we recover with a nearby ghoul. They decide now is the time to unleash the wizard, and his lightning bolt knocks over our ghoul with ease, though the ball bounces handily for us next to the sideline. Or so we think, as they dodge to steal it and run away with it, though fortunately trip over on a 3+ GFI!
We eject their wardancer near the sideline (stun) and surround the ball, hoping to go for the touchdown on our final turn. They fail a simple dodge on T7 but on our T8 we just can't knock down their catcher over the ball and eventually fail the pickup at -1 for the score.
They then chainpush our mummy into the ball and their catcher makes the 6+ catch as it bounces onto him, before dodging his way upfield to hand off to a lineelf in a tackle zone who then dodges away to make it 1-0!
Yarg!!! I'd have been a lot happier going into the 2nd half at 0-0.
We kick and they very easily make it 2-0 in three simple turns (at one point ganging up with 6 elves vs our STR7 mummy to break through).
Looks like curtains for us as they can still set up a full squad to defend. We go for as quick a TD attempt as we can, with them defending very deep, and on T5 our best chance is foiled with a ghoul dropping the 4+ pass to a wight waiting in their endzone. They quickly steal the ball and run downfield, and the count decides now is the time to double 1 on a dodge. They surf our wight (BH) and move the ball to where we cannot get it. We put in our first foul of the half on their tree, KO'ing him, but getting our DP sent off and they decide not to score and give us free blocks on the LOS.
Well won somertown, a thorough smashing.”
