“Phew, that was hectic!

It was with some testitation the pro elves took the field against their hated dark cousins. Even if the pro elves outnumbered them 11 to 10, the dark elves were stronger and meaner.

First half: the dark elves recieved and scored with some ease in the middle of the half, after the ball momentarily had been stolen by the everpresent strip ball blitzer of Elfheim Elephants.

The pro eleves retaliate by storming everything forward in their drive, the thrower finding a open receiver, and after a small battle, resulting in a catcher out BH, runs it in for a equalizing TD.

As the clock is adjusted back for injury time, the darkies have 3 turns to score in. They quickly send another elf out BH. The pro elves manage to get the ball after a failed catch, but looses it soon to a fumble. Soon after the darkies do the same, and the score is tied at 1-1 at halftime.

Second half and 8 pro elves line up to receive. They again storm into the darkies half, but as second turn brings a turnover in first action, the darkies hit them hard: by turn 3 only 5 elves are on the pitch, 4 which are standing.

The ball is passed to a unmarked lineelf, and she storms deep into the darkies half carrying the ball. However, she is blitzed and the ball picked up by a dark elf blitzer.

The elves retaliate, and somehow manages to get the ball back with 3 elves and score for a 2-1 lead.

Setting up 5 against 10 (4 stays KO) things look bleak. Howver, the ball carrier is unprotected and after some dodging, leaping and blitzing, the ball is on elven hands. Unfortunately only for a short time, after which the dark elves equalize.

As the clock is set back one turn, the elves all of a sudden have 2 turns to make the winning TD in. As a turn over results from a failed blitz to make some space, they are only first a failed pass, then a failed pick-up away from loosing the game.

I got no lasting injuries, money enough for a 2nd blitzer and +1 FF Great!
Thanks for the game”
