“Black Cup:

A tight game - we started off with the ball, but only pushed the norse around - lost a CD blocker for the game early and a hobgoblin a bit later...we inflicted little and lost the ball once, then moved in to scored, and an amazing play (5+ 4+ dodges, 2 gfis) nearly got us, but we recovered and scored. A riot gave the norse 2 turns and they took advantage to tie it up at halftime.

The second half, we started hitting a bit harder - but some failures gave the norse a chance to score...they stalled...but then 1d POWed our blodger bull - requiring use of our apoth - and then they scored. Time running down, we were started to get wamed up and hitting harder when again a 1d blitz after some dodges knocked the ball free and stunned Steve. A failed block and failed pickup and we were getting worried...but then with 2 turns left, Steve took the ball and 4 gfis to score at the buzzer.

In overtime, it was 10 - 7 in our favor...first time we had the numbers advantage at kickoff...the norse then had a chance to win it receiving first - a long pass to a lineman in a tacklezone worked - he needed 4+ 3+ dodges to score...but blitzed the bull off him instead...this proved the wrong choice as the blodger bull has sidestep and stepped upfield...the dodges now harder - the valiant norse had had enough. There last attempt failed...and the ball was loose - we snatched it up - fouled the crap out of the remaining players to avoid any last minute heroics and scored for the hard fought victory.

Thanks for a great game!”
