“Didn't expect to win against all that Tackle, but almost tied it up late in 2nd half.

The Destroyers kept decent control of the field until they pushed up a half-cage on the sideline Turn 5, and a -2d stunty dodge blitz surfed the ballacarrier. The contest for the ball was brief as both nearby Goblins were immediately in the Cas Box, and the Destroyers reclaimed it with the luxury to hand off to a Bull and stall for the Turn 8 score, which led to 2 Secret Weapons off the pitch before the 2nd half.

2nd half, a Blitz result combined with a failed pickup to quickly lead to a lost ball, and a brief ruck, but a lucky Turn 4 bounce put the ball into the hands of a Troll, safe behind an accidental screen. Immediately handing off, the goblins fought to create a break-out, and Turn 6 a double-GFI Blitz w/ a Troll opened a chance to break several goblins clear and punt deep - but the Pass itself fumbled near midfield.

The Destroyers swarmed the ball, then recovered with a Bull and, with the help of their wizard to clear the ballcarrier of obstacles, ~almost~ scored again, tripping on the final GFI at the goal line.

Fun game, even if it was GoC's first loss!”
