“We were honoured to line up against the famous Nandorins, and the team was in awe of their high elf opponents. Before we knew it, the score was 3-1 and we were 4-0 down in casualties. It wasn't a case of whether we would lose, it was a question of how many we would lose by.

Then Buddhist Palm woke up and, by the end of the 2nd half, had reduced the elves just 5 players from 11 at the beginning of the 2nd half. The violence seemed to unnerve the Nandorins, who started to fall over and Deadly Melody took advantage to steal the ball twice to set up a famous comeback draw.

Three hattricks today - a hattrick of touchdowns for Deadly Melody and a hattrick of casualties for Buddhist Palm, who killed Finduilas (107spp) and permanently damaged Aegor (97spp) who himself had terrorized Pig Sty Alley with a hattrick of casualties.

Finduilas was raised as a zombie - we'll take anybody in! Sadly he then had to be tossed in a ditch due to a clerical error by Coach Chainsaw as we already had 16 players.”
