“Without our Bully, we were at a bit of a loss for who to carry the ball. Mumbles said he'd been working out and stepped up, not that it helped against their agile blitzers in heels. Wouldn't trip on the way to the blitz, wouldn't stay on their feet after it! Not many green ones left at the end as a result, though we did send their Aigis off to the apothecary for some life-saving medicines, more to the pity of it. The life saving bit, you see, smashing her off the park was brilliant!

We were firm in our cage tactics, despite some bonehead moments from the usual suspects, and even down a couple of big lads we managed to regather the lost ball and send it off to little Ribbit for a score. Covering their passing game easy enough, we got the ball off them in the second despite an atrocious kick that fell right to their main attack. The green things scattered it loose, but without Bully there for the pickup things were doomed, no other Ogre able to hold the thing, and with Thug dropping the ball and then making a tragic mistake trying to clear it, getting the bash himself for once, they picked it up and away for a quick score.

No hope on the quick win at the end, the lads simply not standing up after a long day chasing about the pitch. Not enough blocking really, but the Amazons aren't one to give you easy shots. With Brute off early, numbers told. Good tie lads, the crowd appreciated it. A few of them will do in the pot today.”
