“With Yo'koh and several linemen out of action this game, this was always going to be the Nice Chaps in recovery mode, even if they were up against Norse for the first time, with the promise of lots of mighty blow smashing their tender elf faces to the floor.

Strangely, neither team played as expected. A blitz at the start of the game got Thor on the floor and he could never manage to get up again, and the Chaps hurt two and killed one of the Ancient Gods. But terrible ball control from the Chaps meant they could never get close to scoring, and a fumble in the second half ruined any chance they had of equalising. Meanwhile the Gods could move the ball but were cursed whenever it came to hitting anyone.

No injuries this game for the Chaps means the roster should be back to full strength again soon, when those journeymen have been given their marching orders. ”
