“The Lizardmen team emerged from the rainforest for their first match against outsiders. A repellant Undead side in the pouring rain. We kicked and repositioned perfectly. The Undead did one blitz push and a Ghoul fumbled the short kick behind their LOS. We saw our chance to pressure and set upon their side in the middle. There was a battle and Crixus managed to ko a Ghoul (after a rr). Then we smashed a mummy on to the ball, hoping to knock it free. But it scattered to a zombie who fumbled and then scattered again to a ghoul Tommasino who some caught It! Disaster. The rain was making the ball hard to pick up but we had allowed them to get the ball back. The Ghoul raced away. Two Skinks gave chase but couldn't take him down. He knocked one aside and got a TD.
We had some time left but they did a superb long kick which Runito fumbled off the pitch! It was not thrown too far away but Undead were rushing forward. He retrieved. Bonebreaker then broke the bones of a Zombie. We were then given a shock 4 minute timeout with 4 players still unused! It didn't cause too much problem as a Mummy immediately double both down'd with Crixus. We had used our rrs and now Runito needed to make 3 gfis over the last two turns to score. He failed his 2nd! We only did 2 GFIs this match, but it was one too much :D With the ball not picked up then the half ended with us 1 down.

Second half we traded KOs early but we were 2 players up. Runito got to the other end quickly and stalled a bit. Skinks having to defend against a Wight. With more KOs caused we scored. 10 vs 7 on the next setup looked good for a steal chance. A Ghoul did get the ball on the LOS from kickoff. There was an immediate head collision with a Mummy going down and a Saurus being ko'd. But we had our steal chance, and a Saurus blitzed down the ghoul ball carrier The chance looked good. As in the first half we forced an Undead player onto the ball. And yet again it scattered to the same Ghoul who caught the ball in the 1st half, and he did it again! So time was running out and our furious team couldn't get a winner.

We got the better of the blocking this match but couldn't quite do the agile side well enough to win. ”
