“It looks worse than it is, honest...

The elves kicked, then got a blitz, scored in a turn. That gave us a half to batter them into the ground, and, after losing the ball once, got us to 1-1 at the half, 7 elves left. A rock from the crowd assisted there too...

Second half, the elves scored fast another a riot, which gave me hope of chasing the 2-2 draw, but a second riot showed the crowd wanted things over, so we rushed forward a bit too fast, leaving the way open for the elves to crowd the ball and take it off Busticated Bill again. Then with our injured blocker vulnerable to hits (his smashed collarbone will haunt us forever) the elves took the ball away *again* for a third score.

Positives: Henry was very reliable today. If he doesn't get block next time around, he'll be growing tentacles to make life more miserable for somebody in the future. Need to train up Busticated Bill a bit more, as ST4 MA7 should be more of a threat, but there's the rest of the season for that...”
