“Well PSV Zharr-Naggrund crashed out against what can only be described as a superior Khemri Force. They were deader than hell and going to let everyone know about it. Both teams turned up with a little 'paid help' in those legendary forms of Ramtut the Third, and Hthark the Unstoppable. Khemri Mummy Einar Brekkan failed to turn up though - something to do with "helping police with their enquiries").

The game started with a lot of pushing from the khemri, but none of the blood and violence we've come to know and love. The chaos dwarves tried to respond in kind, but lacked the strength to really make an impact. A promising end run by PSV bull centaur "Toro" Torino came to nothing when Christoffer Lundin dodged out of the tackle, and worse was to come from PSV when their other bull centaur tripped up while trying to break out of a tackle, injuring himself.

The Khemri then caged up and, despite the best efforts of Hthark, ground their way downfield for the score. One-nil to the undead Egyptian dudes.

PSV responded with a promising rush that came to nothing when Lazio tripped going for the hand-off.

The second half started with the chaos dwarves faking a drive down one side and then, when the Khemri rushed (well, shuffled) over to defend, swapped to attack the other wing. A gap came open in mid-field, and Hthark knocked a hole and ran through it to score. One all!

The following kick off went wide to the touchlines, but Sirius tied up the bull centaurs while their Throw-Ra Christoffer Lundin fumbled around with picking up the ball, before scampering in-field. Another two big plays by Hthark looked like they might force the game to overtime, but some fast running by Ramtut blocked him out of the way, and the khemri dashed in for a score. Two-One to Sirius!

Special mention must go to the PSV Troll, who spent large parts of his match picking his nose.

So, Sirius on to the next round, and and already scheming how to 'maim Zlatan'...”
