“WIL Plate Quarterfinal

Our undead horde faces pac's dwarves who get a single handicap of bad press. Our niggled DP gets to play, which could be very useful.

We win the toss and opt to kick, placing it towards the back corner with our kicker... but roll a bad kick giving them a touchback!

They advance slowly and we form a wall of bodies and start punching back- badly hurting their troll slayer with a mummy on turn 2. There's quite a bit of back and forth around the middle, though our only chance against the ball carrier is a -2d block that comes to nothing. They break through on turn 5 but only their runner with the ball is clear and we can easily get a 2d blitz on him for a stun. A mummy then KILLS their blitzer, and when the apo fails we cast raise the dead and welcome him to our team!

We take advantage of this super turn to steal the ball and toss it downfield slightly, missing the throw on turn 6 and again on turn 7. They get in a good turn 8, managing to get several players around the ball, but we're just about able to knock two back and then our ghouls finally manage to string it all together dodging, picking up the ball and making the handoff (with a RR) to make it 1-0 at half time!

They set up 10 vs our 11 for the second half and kick off. We collect the ball and foul twice in a row with our DP, getting two stuns and a sending off, while they have managed to KO their ex-blitzer zombie and now have the upper hand in player numbers. They then MNG one of our mummies, who very luckily regens, and we score on turn 4 without trouble to get our players back on the pitch.

We kick and push in after the ball, managing to turn it over on turn 7 despite good play from the dwarves. Our mummy catches it on the bounce so we go for a short pass with him to our waiting ghoul on T8.. but he can't make it :P

GG pac!”
