“Our (slightly mangled) ogres face Jesperius' chaos pact. They look far more dangerous than us with PO on the troll + ogre and claw on the mino. Yuck!

And indeed they score the first damage on T2 when a 1d block niggles one of our MA7 ogres (apo fail). Things continue in this vein as they steamroll forwards, BH'ing two more snotlings and stalling out the clock with the ball near our endzone before scoring on T8.

We score a consolation BH (pointless as they have 2 subs) and then it's half time and we have 7 vs 12 as they kick off. Our MA7 ogre picks up the ball but we're so outnumbered and failing a lot of blocks and it doesn't matter, they steal it and make it 2-0 by T5.

We have 6 players vs 11 now and again can barely knock over any of their players while they swarm through to make it 3-0. Ouch, painful game!”
