Glory! Glory! Real Sociedead!

Following their game against Mummywell FC it seemed that their hopes of a great end to a season lay in tatters with them needing to procure a point against rival club Bristol Reavers to avoid relegation, a point that is never easy to come by.

But as they did at Sartosa, the Undead Team worked as a cohesive unit to take home the victory and end the divisional competition on the highest points they had seen in three seasons.

Real prepared for this game by ensuring team captain,Karla Larburu rested the whole week to show up for his first game in four, and fed new scoring talent, Xabier Prieto Argarate, the same Get Go breakfast as Real’s sup’ed up Mummies to bolster his strength.

Real elected to receive and Juanito got the ball rolling by fouling the Reavers Troll off the field. Both teams congregated to one flank, and Chris Glutton took on the unfamiliar role of man-marking John Scales… the battle between these two had just begun.

Real moved the ball to the other flank and the normally sharp Duke dove into a pile of Real players for a peculiar blitz that gave him no advantage, forcing himself to then dodge out. Real was in a good position to start throwing more blocks - and did so, with two more Orcs sent to the KO box by the first quarter. Despite having a pretty easy task of scoring, Real decided to press their advantage and caged the ball back in midfield, with the Orcs three men down and spread out. Angered, Ryan Green and John Scales combined to surf Chris Glutton who had done a sterling job of holding up the awesomely annoying Black Orc and the Reavers began to reform and as Real once again broke for the flank a Black Orc and the Duke marked the ball carrier and Karla Larburu. Then came the moment Real players and fans had been waiting a very long time for…

Mohammed El Yaagoubi blitzed the instrument of Real’s last season3-0 defeat,The Duke seriously injuring the single most annoying player in the Premiership! And before finally crossing into the endzone another Black Orc was sent to the KO box, cementing a hugely successful half for Real.

1 – 0

Reavers could only muster ten men for the second half, those fortunate enough to find themselves in the KO box understandably reluctant to come back out after realising their plate armour had been replaced with cheap Styrofoam copies, and as Real spooked the Ref into submission, it was possibly a good decision.

Reavers soon found themselves down to nine, without a single block by Real, as their first foul of the game was spotted. Real tentatively piled on the pressure, cautious not to leave a gaping hole for Reavers to exploit as they had done against Mummywell FC. The Orcs massed to one flank, but Real hit hard sending a Blitzer and their Troll into the KO box within moments. Real closed in on the hapless Orcs who had nowhere to run and few little to fight, and when John Scales hit the ground Chris Glutton, still smarting from the earlier surf, ran in with the boot splitting his cranium right open… Fortunately, the apothecary was on hand with vinegar and brown paper to mend the Orc, but as we all know, vinegar and brown paper is wrapping and a condiment for chips not for holding brain in place, and so Chris’ second boot signed the Orc for Real Sociedead. As the Orcs threw the ball down field to no one, the game was over. Real collected it and kept the remaining five Orcs penned in for a very impressive 2- 0 victory!

It appears my players fair better against high av teams than any other, though it’s not a theory I hope to test out too regularly. :)
Pythrr’s luck wasn’t so much bad, in fairness he was never allowed into the game to test it, as mine was amazing, breaking Orc armour as though they were snotlings and leaving Pythrr with too few players too soon to do anything really – especially with the one man team, The Duke leaving early.
I needed a new Zombie after Grit killed one before so the replacement is very nice and those SS Orcs have caused me so much trouble in the past. Good cash and +FF and not finishing towards the bottom of the table finally made this a great game and a great end to the divisional competition.

Pythrr was his usual stoic self throughout his dicing in what would have made many other coaches tear their hair out. It’s a shame the Duke is out for his crunch game against Sartosa as I’d prefer to play them than Ebe’s dorfs next season, so GL Pyth! ;D
