“Fummbl Cup - Round 1:

A dynamic game where the score does not tell the entire tale. With the Superheroes receiving in the first half, they moved it slow...looking to lure out the wizard and they did. Fireball hit 2 of 5 targets...ball bounced to another elf, but a blitz took him down and Wasp (AG 5 catcher) swooped in for the grab and toss. We scored to make it 1-0. Then things started to pick up...the superheroes pushed the ball upfield and we did a chain push to get a 1d block on the ball carrier figuring it would open up a 1d blitz from our stripball wardancer...but rolled the POW instead and the ball was free...Wasp swooped in again - plucked up the ball and threw to our outlet for the 2-0 lead. With only 2 turns left, the Superheroes had to take some chances...as they pushed upfield with their catcher, they were out of RRs and first gfi okay...second gfi...umph! Down goes the catcher and the ball is tossed into the field of play...another pickup and pass and the score at halftime is 3-0.

Receiving to start the second half, we push forward and score a 2 turn TD to make it 4-0. The Superheroes were not done...they one turn it on their next possession and it is 4-1. We have the ball back and after a bit of movement, we streak up the sidelines with a wardancer...the blodger is put down by the Superheroes on a blitz and then a long bomb of a pass from a line elf and some handoff and gfi...and it goes coast to coast to make it 4-2. We cage up mostly on our next possession, but a nice leap from the wardancer and the ball is free...a bouncing ball is picked up by the catcher. We got lucky and get the POW on 2d block...Superheroes get lucky because it bounces to another of their players...then our wardancer (tackle) gets the knockdown on 2d block and the ball is free...we pick it up and have 1 gfi to make a 3+ pass to seal the game at 5-2...snake eyes on the gfi...and a lot of nice rolling by the superheroes (dodging, gfi - all without a RR) and instead it is 4-3. Two turns remained, but instead of trying to score (we finally leanred our lesson), we caged up and held the ball for the last 2 turns for the victory.

Thanks for the game!”
