“This battle of the dead was always going to be a tough one for the Ghoulies with more skills and more mummies in the opposing ranks. And so it proved in the first half as players rapidly shuffled off into the KO pit, and wight Cellar Dweller failed to regenerate a serious injury and will miss the next game.<br> Moving the ball around didn't go well either as failed hand-offs and gfis thwarted attempts to move upfield. In the end there were just too few Ghoulies on the field to protect the ball, with only 3 left by the time the Bones walked in a TD on turn 7.<br>
Kicking in the second, the Ghoulies played with renewed vigour, the will of their coach forcing all players to rise from the KO pit. But despite twice putting a two dice block on the Bones' ball carrier, the ghoul wouldn't go down, and it was 2-0.<br>A quick scoring play reduced this to 2-1 with two turns to go, and then as a Bones mummy fell down on a block, the Ghoulies were able to rush through to the ball. But on the last turn the blitzing ghoul caught the ball, and ended up lamely holding it while his partner stood waiting to run in a TD.<br> Highlight for the fans was a bizarre regeneration mixup, as Ghoulie skeleton Humerus and Bones zombie Flori each rose from the grave and defected to the opposition!
