“We're up against Bytez0r's 2-game necros who get two handicaps (extra training + bonehead for a gobbo), but with their wight MNG have mostly zombies on the squad and it looks like a difficult game for them. On our side one MNG ogre means just 7 of them available for the game.

We kick in the blizzard but a bad kick lets them hand the ball to their 'thrower' zombie. The same turn a rookie zombie niggles an ogre with a foul though fortunately our apo works this time. T2 and after using their reroll on a 1d block their wolf blitzes a gobbo... double skulls and badly hurt! We follow this up by niggling a zombie and they are down to 9 players already. T4 and we knock the ball free and there is a veritable swarm of bodies in and around it but their ghoul proves his mettle twice -2db blitzing an ogre for a bit of space and making dodges through tackle zones to steal the ball and run into our half!

We try and blitz him, but the blizzard causes a GFI tripup, and he dodges away from a gobbo to safety by our endzone, scoring the next turn. We have one turn to try for a TTM with the ball helpfully landing in our +AGI gobbo's hands right by the LOS... but our ogre fumbles the throw.

They kick off again and the ball lands perfectly in the back corner of the pitch... argh, we wanted a fast TD here! We collect amid a swarm of bone heads (4/5 before we decide not to try the last 2 ogres) and they rush their ghoul through, but we 3d blitz him over KILLING him! They now only have agi2 players left!

We run the ball as fast as we can with 0 RRs and a blizzard, managing to get it upfield safely to score on T6. We kick off again with 11 vs just 5 zombies + 2 flesh golems.. a blitz would really help us here! Instead we get cheering fans for a free reroll- still useful!

They surround the ball, hoping to slow us down long enough to hold onto the draw, and indeed they do it in style, 1d POWing our AGI4 gobbo into the KO box and then twice -2d double POWing ogres while putting 3 bodies around the ball, and we just can't pick it up. They put in a T16 foul to try and avenge their fallen ghoul but nothing comes of it.
