Malkor throws the apothecary at him and orders him onto the field
yelling "ALL OR NOTHING Break some Elves or you're FIRED!!"

Ferelve Farcity win the toss and choose to recieve. Going snas treeman for the opening drive in favor of maximum mobility. CM hold Nobbla and Buffalo Bill in reserve. Only a slight breeze picks up for the opening kickoff and immediately the Farcity elves take control to dictate the play of the first half...scooping up the ball, KOing a rookie goat, and pulling the entire team backwards to their own goal line forcing the Cattle to shuffle across the field and chase. Not wanting to be horribly run around, they leave two goats back for defense. This keeps up for a couple turns boring the blood loving fans to tears. After turn 3 the Chaos blitzes begin, trying to peel a way into the ball carrier. In response FF shifts to the side and starts to move down field keeping the BC behind a loose cage knowing that CM have no good cage breakers. The few hits CM get in are ineffectual...they got one KO...the couple fouls by the teams only cause stuns. By turn 7 CM manages to finally get a tackle zone on the BC but it's nothing the elves can't handle easily pushing the warrior out of the way and star thrower Hawk waltzes into the endzone for an FF touchdown. Come turn 8 for CM and a turn to finally hurt the elves...and they do. The cas finally begin with a badly hurt linemen and an inspired boot/gang stomp on treeman redwood to seriously injure him...even under the watchfull eye of the ref...guess he thought it was just a twig breaking instead of the bones inside.

Second half begins and we fully expect to CM to grind out a score after 8 turns breaking many elves in the process and forcing OT. Nuffle has other plans for CM however. Turn 1 sees Nobbla fail to start the chainsaw, only an elf KOed off the line and BigHanded Buffalo Bill failing to pick up the ball. you can see the twinkle in the eyes of the fast moving elves as they streak down the field to try and get coverage on the ball and expoilt the CM error. They do succeed in getting tackle zone that covers both Bill and the ball and make it difficult fo anyone else to get there. Turn 2 and Bill will have nothing to do with the ball when he has an elf to hit...which he does KILLing him mercilessly. Not completely however as the FF apothecary comes out and is able to revive the poor elf. Unsatisfied with a prone body on the field...T-Bone comes over and boots the unfortunate elf to the KO box...safer there than the field in this case. The smell of blood is too distracting however and the other Billy on the team comes over and also fails to pick up the ball. This is all the elves need. FF turn 2 elves be elves...they dodge in...and easily scoop up the ball in a tackle zone...dodge out and pass Peregrine for what turns out to be the gamewinning touchdown.
Fully frustrated...coach Malkor throws his players back onto the pitch telling them to get crazy...and they do even. The elves hang back on the kick off leavign the minimum on the line. CM recieves...this time Bill has no problem picking up the ball now that his hands are bloodied...and Range Rover gets inspred as well to finally earn his keep getting his first cas and CM, with little resistance easily push for a quick 2 turn score. No ejection for Nobbla though he at least got the saw started...he never gets to hit a thing with it though as Malkor goes maximum goat for the last 4 turns...not wanting to waste time with restarting the saw. (Yep should have gotten the wizard) Again FF recieve and back up with the ball going on pure defense rather than trying to push out a 3rd score. CM press as hard as they can...badly hurting a couple more elves in an attempt to get to the ball. The FF defense is just too sound however and in the end they remain standing with the ball. The elves superior number of skills and flawless defense plans by coach Tathar mean the end of the Cattles Lustrian run...even with 6 casualties.

In his post game interview Coach Malkor had this to say...
"Was a great match...never seen anything move like those wood elves before. Only elves we'd even faced before this are the dark ones and had enough trouble with those. Oh and there where some rats that kinda moved like these guys once. Looks like we're going to have to get some more practice in against em if we're going to have another run at a title.
Tathar was a great opponent. He didn't waver...didn't falter...hell I don't think he even blinked. No tears when his players got ripped to pieces...a true professional. Definitely look forward to facing him again. Wish him him good luck in the final rounds...If it can't be chaos that wins this thing...at least don't let it be an orc."" From here...we'llget rid of some of the broken baggage on the team and push some intensive training to try and get ready for the Fumbbl Cup. Been a great ride...my boys did good.”
