“The Crusaders confounded the opposition with the full on retreat that lead to a cagey start from both teams. As the Crusader's started their mad dash for the EZ, Rip Em II was trampled by the on coming HEs and got stomped on by Andrius Ellisan (BH). Sigurd I of Norway made a dash down the bottom flank but he was knocked out by Varag Ghoul-Chewer whilst the rest of teh orcs engaged the main body of elves. The Crusaders switched up the play, bashing down the key orcs in their way and made for the top flank. With the orcs pressing the HE lines and the HE reciever, Catale Luolua made a rushing short pass in the sun to Weyath Cerathalous, who had dodged near to the EZ-temporarily escaping the attentions of Varag. With Varag failing to knock down Weyath Cerathalous in the next turn the Crusaders were able to break loose and score for the 1-0 lead.

At the start of the second half, with the Krushars having reduced the HE reserves bench numbers, the Awen Forlious tried to even up the carnage with boot to a BOB only to be sent to the dug for a stun. With the orcs advancing into Crusader territory with the ball, Khianna Feliaitos took a gamble and 1D powed the guarded Hoik 'It II. A kind bounce allowed the games star performer Weyath Cerathalous to sneak away with the ball. Further luck allowed the Crusaders to gather enough reinforcements to stall, winddown the game and handoff the ball to Ruffolo Felious for skill.

Unlucky JoeKano, good defense but you just didn't get the dice today. Good luck with the rest of the season.
