A big game for last, these old bones needed something from us to make premier, but there's no sneaky leaping 1d pow scum here. Anything but snow for Intimidation on defence, and this should be easy.

Their ball, and so it snowed. Nuffle loves Goblins, we amuse him no end.

Still, Extortion tried, Takh'anet exposed, Bribery flattened him, and the saw came in and the ref sent him off for nothing. Madness. Bribery and Corruption went to work on the big boys, to protect themselves as much as anything. Ahk'mi'ahrm was stunned with the fouling. Bribery killed Ahk'mi'legh, but he got better. Conspiracy covered their run, Bribery menacing, but they found the pow and ran it in. Early enough, good enough.

Our ball, Anarchy unleashed, we lured them south and went North, Bribery's speed again the gem, seeing off Khom, there was space, but the team distracted by the chef just a little, Secrecy's feet were not sure and he tripped, short.

Bribery the star, a rock from the crowd knocked him cold. Anarchy unleashed again, Intimidation tried as well. Things were tight, Anarchy barely grabbed the huge Ahk'mi'ahrm, Corruption confused, Nothing for it Kickbacks ran and we tied them as we could with a few good dodges. Hekminopt ignored the diving tackle of Conspiracy, smashed the ankle of Kickbacks (Apo!) and gathered the ball.

A small assist from Racketeering saw Ahk'mi'ahrm slapped down by Anarchy. Oh, you know that just makes him angry. Thieving, through, stunned Hekminopt. Anarchy danced and kept Ahk'mi'ahrm stunned. Their other bigs ran, and Anarchy finished the job, swirling, grinding the big galoot to dust. He did not regenerate. Seeing our chance, Thieving scored.

Not a quarter for Khemri, less for us, Bribery stayed out, Intimidation stayed in. Fearing the big chuck, desperate for the draw, they were conservative, Un'kahk gathering, but they stood in a small group, and Intimidation ... fumbled.

Now they rushed, and fell, there was a plan, last second, but it just confused Corruption so unlikely it seemed. We helped Un'kahk off, they helped Corruption off, even all round, except we bagged a big one.

A fair end to a fair season. The team is the lesser for it, but lessons were learned, we need to do something about the faster and more agile teams, make the dodges that count, leave players free to spring, don't just let them walk it in easy. Most importantly, the trolls have to hit hard. This is Bribery and Corruption, when it works it is ruinous.
