“A good, fun, and at times very tense match.

The Dark Elves kicked off, putting the Orcs on the offensive. The greenies made steady progress as a Thrower held onto the ball, but the Dark Elves successfully stalled the forward momentum for most of the first half. A few heavy hits from the green skins sent several Dark elves into cloud-cookoo land, punching a hole through the lines allowing the greenskins to earn a touch-down.

The Second half saw the Elves benefit from a touch back. Before the Greenskin defence could close in, the ball was over the end zone. The rest of the game was a pretty tense face-off, as the Elves made some good progress, thanks to some daring plays. On more than one occasion a Dark Elf would get close to the end zone, only to be taken down by some shrewd tackling. The game ended with my greenies making some solid progress towards the Dark Elf lines, but alas, the bell rang before another TD was scored by either team.

It was a really good match, lots of fun, with some very tense moments. I don't often get to play non-bashey teams, so this was a welcome novelty, and made for an interesting match. Perhaps this is why both teams gained fans! I think the score is a fair reflection of how we both played, but a re-match would be very much welcome at some point!”
