“What a wild game, sportsfans - no odds-maker could have predicted this one! This commentator saw Coach Secondark playing MUCH better than the score reflects - should have been a tie at worst, and very possibly a 2:1 win for CSM, with Texas coach Smeat making some rookie mistakes at key moments. But... well...

Texas S&M chose to kick off, and CSM caged up around midfield, with the Aggroes quickly surrounding and marking the cage from all sides. 4 turns of conservative play on both sides moved the ball very little if any, with Texas breaking one corner or another then getting pushed back out repeatedly. Then CSM saw an opening and broke free from near the center toward a sideline, but Texas broke the cage on 2 corners and heavily marked the ball carrier, and... and then chaos hit, and it didn't stop until the final score! Loose balls, double skulls, the ball sitting lonely on the goal line for turn after turn, elves tripping and dwarves too tied up to break free. the stretcher busy the whole time - and the rookie elf team somehow out-bashed the dwarves, despite a 65:24 blocking difference, despite the armour advantage, despite the blocking skill of the dwarves?! Ooooh, Nuffle!

After the match, coach Smeat remarked:

"Respect to Coach Secondark for maintaining a sense of humour and sportsmanship throughout this ugly example of luck triumphing over skill. I can't take credit for all this, I just tried to capitalize on luck when it came my way, and it did more than for the other team. We look forward to our next meeting, where I wouldn't bet on the same outcome!"”
