“XLF VIII Orc - Round 2

The 'Saws fans came in with high hopes, with Aztec on a roll.

Sadly it came undone rather quickly as the team got beaten up systematically. With 3 fouls claiming 2 casualties, and the blocking dominated by the guard laden Baraks Bashers, the game's turning point was likely an early rash choice to use the apothecary by Coach Chainsaw.

With the game barely begun, Fatty was carted off the field hurt. The apothecary was foolishly sent to patch him up. Moments later, Morg was flattened by a rather unimpressive black orc (no mighty blow), and that probably decided the game.

Coach Poloq got himself caught too deep at the end of the 1st half - the wizard causing a bit of chaos and a rare bad sequence of luck as the troll stupified himself and the blocks failed to bring down ball markers, the scatter kind to the 'Saws. Sadly the pass attempt failed but 0-0 at half time gave the team a platform.

The team lacked the strength to hold off Poloq's orcs 2nd half though. Still, dodges, blitzes, pick ups, everything came off for Baraks Bashers. When Aztec snaked a dodge then was seriously injured by a boot, the game was basically over.”
