“For the 2nd match running, victory slipped from the team's grasp late in the game when it looked all but secure - although this time it was more self inflicted than the previous game.

The bomber proved good value, stunning a mummy early to open up the path to the ball. As players from both teams failed at key moments, eventually the Pirates got clear and tried to stall. It went bad, but Tomas Bot stepped up with a wonderous elf-like display to pass in the opener.

The side were warmed up in the 2nd half and started to do serous damage, although the ghoul seriously injured itself on a go for it. It looked like victory was inevitable but a hero skeleton brought down the ball carrier. Still, with numbers and strength and markers on the ball, it looked a lost cause. At least, it was until a greedy attempt to get the ball went bad as the dark elf renegade fell face first into it - the ball popping up outside the maul and making the equalizer a much easier play.

These 2 dropped victories could be costly.”
