Da Avalanche 2 - 1 Ludovico Lizards

This evenings game between Anthony_Times' Lizardmen (Ludovico Lizards) and the Notorious_jtb's Orcs (Da Avalanche) was a close affair. The Orcs inducements, "That babe's got talent" and Ugroth Bolgrot (chainsaw fool) were instrumental in Da Avalanche's domination of the first half. The Lizards were down to seven players by the time Da Avalanche scored their first TD through Gothmog just before half time. However, the Lizards Ko'd players came back to even up the numbers for the second half.

The Ludovico Lizards responded quickly and turn 10 was crucial. Gothmog was Ko'd, Karggoz was badly hurt after being pushed into the crowd by Alex koxigor, and Bog ran in the equaliser. On the ensuing kick off the crowd through a rock and badly hurt Ahzgaz with a great shot. This left Da Avalanche with eight players against 11 lizards, the balance of power appeared to have swung decisively towards Ludovico Lizards. However, Nuffle had other plans. Both teams went through a series of turnovers, and crucially Alex remained bone headed for 3 turns allowing the orcs the space to make a surge downfield. Ultimately this was the difference maker and Bargoz was able to score the winner with two turns to go. The Lizards had one last chance to tie it up but a skink dropped a hand off mid way through the play bringing the game to an end.

After the game Da Avalanche purchased an apothecary.

Chill Masters 1 - 1 Hutta Harda

In the second game of the day the “Chill Masters” entertained the Orc team “Hutta Harda”. The Dark Elves attempted to play the same style against the Orcs that had worked so well against the Chaos Dwarves earlier. However, they were apparently tired after their earlier efforts. The “Chill Masters” completed no passes all game, caused no casualties and scored a single touchdown on their one possession on turn four of the first half. Then the Orcs took over. “Hutta Harda” did indeed start hitting harder. Nargolwing had his game ended right on the stroke of half time by a black orc (#3) and the line elf Doroth was also removed for the game on the opening kick off of the second half by an Orc blitzer (#8). The Orcs rolled their cage up the field and made good progress until Shakare smashed her way into the cage and put got close to the Orc thrower with the ball. This forced “Hutta Harda” to swing their cage to the outside, leaving their ball carrier in the open. Shakare swooped in and knocked the ball free. A huge scrum ensued with five orcs and three elves around the ball. When the ball stopped bouncing the line elf Nargir grabbed it and made a rush for daylight only to be tripped by a line orc. This allowed “Hutta Harda” to reform the cage and roll towards the endzone. The “Chill Masters” had one play left and Shakare took it upon herself to go past a black orc and a blitzer to get to the ball carrier. However when it looked like she might push the ball carrier into the crowd she collapsed to the ground with a pulled hamstring, and could only watch from the mud as the laughing orcs ran in their turn 16 equaliser. After the match the Orcs bought a sneaky goblin to improve their scoring whilst the Dark Elves made out like bandits with their 90,000 gps winnings and hired Morfinil, a new blitzer (using 10,ooo gp they had saved).
