“Taking the dice results into account...

46/73 succesfull blocks (3 failed) vs. 16/38 succesfull blocks (1 failed) = 63% vs. 42%
15/53 armour breaks vs. 14/36 armour breaks = 28% vs. 39% <-- even despite the number of players knocked down??? :o
2/15 casualties from injury rolls vs. 1/14 injury rolls = 13% vs. 7%

... this was an incredibly strange match. Being receiving in the first drive was, despite some odd movements, working quite well for the Bulls, who managed to dominate due to the high numbers of advanced Sauri, compared to what the Serpents could field. Even with a few lucky potshots, the Bulls scored in turn eight, meaning Helmut had only one turn on the pitch, in which he didn't really had any impact at all.
This meant that I was pretty confident going into the second half (even despite the Chef taking all re-rolls, meaning five out of six had been cooked away...) and all went well for quite a while, with a fast rush meaning I was close to nabbing the ball away. However, one lightning strike later, Cha went running and threw the ball towards my endzone. This meant I had to rush back, while in the meantime Hemlock was causing incredible mayhem along the way. All was to no avail, as KO after KO was to be taken, and a 1-1 was not to be stopped, taking the game into overtime.

Here, things went from bad to worse for the Bulls. Hemlock still reigned supreme and a too focussed attempt on taking it out, meant one hand-off and two go for its later, Ah Puch ran in his second touchdown of the evening and claimed the victory for the Serpents.

Congratulations to KhorneliusPraxx on a well played game, even after that first half. ;-)

Some games you win, some you lose. Annoying as it was, it definitely was a good match to have played. Next time, I will bring more Tackle. (hehehe)”
