“Pre-game
To Paraphrase a famous Greenskin Minstrel "If yur havin' team problems, I feel bad for you, Son! I yoozed 99 Snotlings an' a defeat ain't come!". And so it was, 99 Snotlings* had represented L.A.D.S. so far, and they'd won 13 of 13 games. Would the Harbingers finally be the team to put up a challenge?

The biggest threat to Lump an' da Snots seemed to be complacency as much as anything else. Last match certainly hadn't seem them firing on all cylinders. Even that fans seemed apathetic, only 4 bothering to join the ranks for the match.

Kick Off
L.A.D.S. 20-13 Drakwald Harbingers

The first half was a fairly stale affair for L.A.D.S.. Bombs regularly misfiring, and barely laying a glove on the Beastmen. The crowd played a big part in killing Moorek, and Kai took the rare opportunity to punch a Gor off the pitch, but the game had the classic end-of-season dead rubber feel to it.

The Beastmen trundled over for a score and Skip got a now customary reply. At half time there was only 7 scores in it. Whereas that would normally be a nail-bitter, here it just felt flat.

Half Time
L.A.D.S. 21-14 Drakwald Harbingers

Second half didn't really show a change in attitude. By the end of the half, 16 (sixteen!) of the L.A.D.S. were busy sunning themselves in the dugout rather than putting in a shift on the field. Only Muspi get a pass for missing most of the second half, because he was dead. Even the ever reliable Skip choose to throw the ball on the ground crossing into the Harbingers endzone. Some might be tempted to say L.A.D.S. were deliberately trying to give up scores in the interest of keeping things interesting.

Evntually the Beastmen were able to trot over for a second touchdown, but not before irreparably breaking the Splatta Wagon.

That was the last action of the game. Entirely coincidentally a number of L.A.D.S. who had been "knocked out" for most of the match suddenly seems to be ready to go, but they just didn't have a chance to get back onto the field.

They say making it to the top is tough, but staying there is harder. 14 wins in 14 games suggested L.A.D.S. weren't going anywhere yet.....but this was another warning.
