“In the most anticipated match of the conference the Misery took to the field against champs-in-exile the Wä?a Warriors! The Misery started eager blitzing at the Orcs, but the stoic green-skins resisted their advance. A scrum broke out in the centre with neither side giving ground until Ubirr III took a risk and punched through the Misery lines towards the touch zone. With the Misery failing to bring down the cunning Orc he scored under pressure. As the Misery set up to equalise the score the Warriors shut them down with a well timed blitz. Narrowly missing a touchdown opportunity the Misery entered the second half a point down. With the crowd getting restless the Misery set up and quickly set about setting the scoreboard to rights. Mr_Foulscumm received the high ball with ease and flanked around the melee forming in the centre of the pitch. Slipping past his pursuers he put a point on the board and the crowd went wild. The Misery set up aggressively with every intention to secure the win, but Coach DustBunny was suspiciously absent. Suddenly a boulder landed on the pitch and crushed the agile Orc star Maguk III. With the apothecary refusing to even leave the Wä?a Warriors dugout for fear of more missiles Maguk III died gurgling his last. Coach DustBunny spent the rest of the game pondering over some trigonometric diagrams and was heard muttering "wrong one, but how?". Ubir III was noticeably rattled and fumbled the ball. The Misery swooped but as Ubir III regained his composure they failed to secure the ball. The resolved Ubir III proved his worth and repeatedly punched at the Misery until he eventually broke through and carried his team to victory. The Misery were disheartened, and their fans even more so. However, the inevitable comeback was on its way and Gedney was spotted collecting some odd wooden sprigs from a shady figure in the tavern after the match.”
