“Real Sociedead 2 - 1 Glasgow Rearrangers

A gruelling fortnight spent training at Camp Sunny in the Dominecro Republic certainly proved to be well spent after the OBBA’s most beloved undead team, Real Sociedead, returned in great form to face the vile Glasgow Rearrangers.

Their trademarked 2-1 victory was even achieved without the aid of star Mummy, Claudio Andres Bravo Munoz, who failed a last minute fitness test.

The game began with Rangers receiving and toppling the Zombie LOS. Then the combined efforts of a Rangers lineman and star player Kris Bleed II seemed unable to topple Real’s longest serving player, Juanito. Offensive mistake or baldness on Bleed’s part left him covering Juanito and vulnerable to Real’s counter.

Mummy megatron, Victor Casadesus Castano, waded in to assist his team mates and Juanito and others moved linos in an effort to get a good clean blitz on Bleed. Emerging star, Boukary Drame, obliged and with a devastating blow sent Bleed to the badly hurt bin... Rangers had lost their best player in seconds.

Despite the loss Real were certain to not stop the Woodelf score and were happy to see it produced relatively early.

0 – 1

Despite the score things were going well, though Chris Glutton’s continued foul attempts failed to remove Elves despite assistance from team mates, and ultimately the ref didn’t have the heart to send him off.

Despite blocks felling other elves, the equaliser didn’t come easy with elves disposing the ball carrier on at least one occasion and making nuisances of themselves via great feats of agility that left both coaches somewhat bedazzled.

Thanks to Drame’s dodgyness he managed to level the score line in the dying seconds.

1 - 1

The first half and the very near failure to tie left Real in no doubt that a refreshed elven side even without Bleed still posed a great threat, so eager to prove John Scales stepped into the role of fouling b****** after Glutton disappointed greatly in the first half.

A quick snap for real and a very close defence allowed Real to sucker punch more elves, and Fredrik Olsson hurt a player bad enough for the elves to get the apothecary involved. Distracted by the crunch Drame failed to pick up the ball, and so the remaining Wardancer, Nacho Puncho II, screamed “GUNG HO” and leaped in to take the ball, but ended up on the wrong side of a misplaced blitz. Real gathered the ball and Scales waded in boots swinging, and scored his first ever RIP!

The elves were outraged and badly hurt a Wight in response and then began to get at the squishy ghouls of Real, and even stick their own boot in. Despite this Real marched on without any further boots to the seemingly defeated elves, but after a foul on a Ghoul came, then a ridiculous blitz from a Woodelf catcher, Alan Rotten II, felled Real’s defenceless Ghoul, the army of dead could stand by no longer, and John Scales quickly put Alan Rotten six feet under as a reminder to every player in the OBBA that “you just don’t hit ghouls – cos they don’t regenerate damnit”!

Real scored and Rangers consoled themselves with the scalp of a rookie zombie in the final moments.

2 – 1

Despite Drame almost certainly winning the game for Real, the fans couldn’t ignore Scales attempt at earning himself a genocidal maniac’s medal in a single game, and promptly awarded him Most Valuable Player!

The game shifted pretty quick from looking like I was in trouble after only one mummy showed up to looking much more favourable towards me after the T1 blitz badly hurt Vampy’s star player. I’m a lukor! ;)

Fouls in the first half were weak, but in the second they were brutal... I did feel bad after the second RIP, but I hold my Ghouls precious to me as they don’t tend to stay at the club too long in the Prem. :(

Hopefully Vampy will recover to wi, err... play another day! ;)

Thanks for the fun game Vampy.
