This game was dominated by the rivalry between the fans of these two teams. Clearly the Wood Elves (Soft Green Felt) had a score to settle with their High Elf (Athelorn Falcons) cousins who abandoned them in the Old World. At the opening kick off the Falcons Coach, the Notorious_JTB, was left with his offense in tatters after a pitch invasion left six High Elves face down in the mud whilst leaving the Wood Elves untouched! This handed the initiative to Soft Green Felt, who had managed to kick into the Falcons endzone, and they quickly moved their players forward to pin the High Elves deep in their own half. The Falcons tried to form a cage around the ball several times and each time a wardancer or line elf(!!!) would get inside and sack the ball carrier unassisted. Each sack left the former ball carrier face down in the mud and Anandar was unlikely sidelined for the next game after landing badly. The ball would not bounce for the Felt though and they could not take advantage of their pressure on the ball. The Falcons managed to work the ball to Ethilandar by the end of the half and he dashed in to give the High Elves the lead. On the last play of the half the Wood Elves launched a despicable gang foul on Ethilanel. The low blow by #14 knocked Ethilanel out cold and he failed to return for the rest of the game.
The High Elf fans exacted some measure of revenge at the start of the second half by stunning a Wood Elf with a rock. Inspired by this Glorandar too revenge on #14 for the dirty play at the end of the first half and killed him with a single blow! This slowed the Felt's drive but could not prevent them scoring mid way through the half. The Wood Elf fans chose this time to launch a riot, possibly in celebration or possibly in a cynical attempt to gain more time, who can tell. Either way it could not prevent the Falcons scoring again through Ethilandar. It also resulted in the statistical anomaly of the same player being knocked out in the same turn twice! The extra time would prove crucial in deciding the outcome of the game. After a high kick off the Felt's were able to sweep up field and equalise as time was about to run out. Not before they knocked out Conimnor with another dirty foul. The #15 line elf was sent off for his efforts, possibly to prevent him suffering the same retribution as #14!
Both sides made the prudent move of adding an apothecary to their staff after the game. Additionally both teams gained useful improvements, the Green Felt doing particularly well with their stat increase and a double.
