“Those loveable, roguish rats were in fine fettle today schooling some unfortunate elves. Although these elves seem to have spent an unusual amount of time practicing blocking and not quite enough poring over their offensive play books. The rats were reduced to 7 by early in the second half due to a combination of hard hitting and repeated, sneaky fouling although by this stage the game had in fact already been won. As so often when teams have a player with dump off, it becomes their single stratagem. A little cage play would have helped this coach, although he appeared in a frightful hurry to complete the match, it would seem the coach driver was unwilling to spare the horses for an extra hour to facilitate more thoughtful play. In fact every single dump off went awry, most amusingly when the ball ricocheted around for a time before the catcher caught it once more and was then laid out by Reggie's incoming fist. Most pleasingly in T8 of the second half a coup de grace was administered, easier than expected as the elves' defensive wall was incorrectly set, leaving a gap wide enough to get a rat ogre through never mind a slender gutter runner. Another match for the Rogues! Onwards and upwards what, Ra-Raa the Rats!”
