“A closely fought match against a fun opponent.

It looked like it was going to be an ugly game as my opponent badly hurt one player on his very first block, and then killed a second on the first block of his second turn! Both were by his guy armed with a Stiletto, the first being straight through and the second needing the +2 to cause the death.

Luckily for me however, the weapon didn't cause much more damage. The crowd helped me even up the numbers slightly by twice throwing rocks at my opponent's players. I even got a blitz but the ball scattered out of bounds after landing in the corner square (my player was one short) otherwise that lucky break (the blitz) would have given me a 3-0 start.

Thanks to being short numbers (5 in the KO bin at one stage) I took the option to score a one turn TD twice. A rare thing to do it even once but with so few players and his Stiletto guy or his Str 4 Tackle Buzzing guy causing me grief (and giving me an ulcer) I needed to some breathing space.

Regardless, a fun game against a fun coach and one I would gladly play against again.”
