“Lutèce Cup Challenge - NA Round 4

Skaven apparently do not like the rain, and go from scoring 5,4 and 3 TD's in the last 3 games to only scoring once this game.

1st half opened beautifully as putting my Side Stepping GR on the sideline drew 7 of his players to that side just to try to get him pushed out of bounds. My GR on the other side of the pitch was not even put in a TZ! However, 2 turns in a row, the GR could not obtain the ball (handoff with RR failed, then pick up with RR failed), and 5 of my guys get pushed out bounds (into Rat fans as no one was even KO'd) in route to a 0-1 halftime hole.

2nd half opened well as well, as they could not pick up the ball, after pulling many players to knock out Fezglitch. This left the ball in the middle of the pitch and Pinky opened a hole for my GR's the stream through. A double skull block by Roxanna left my GR open and able to score easily. Next kick off went similarly, but Pinky could not knock his target down, and when the ball bounce it went right to Roxanna and was caught. from there, I could not recover. Last ditch try at a 1-turner was hampered 1st by my side stepping GR being KO'd and then by a blitz. Wouldn't have mattered anyway, as Pinky was wild yet again. (3 times in the 1st half, this last turn and I think one other)

IIRC, we were the only undefeated teams left, so that leaves Happygrue in the lead--if he can only hold on for 2 more games!

hopefully, I'll be able to return to my scoring ways...
