The game began with La French Play-gue receiving, and in typical Rat style, scoring in turn 2. Of course the quad skull blitz on the ball carrier by the Big Bang Theory was far from an auspicious start...

The first half continued with the Big Bang Theory receiving. The minotaur (with Juggernaut) made a Blitz as the first action in order to try and surf a rat. Making a colossal mistake it was a 2 dice block, and double skulls ensued followed by a wasted re-roll. Rats certainly don't need more invitation than that and immediately La French Play-gue put the pressure on.

Big Bang Theory managed to lose the ball (another quad skull blitzing with the ball carrier), and should of lost the game, but a rat blitz to score failed. Somehow the Big Bang Theory got the ball back and bundled it up field to make 1-1 at half time and breathe a side of relief.

The second half saw the Big Bang Theory grind their way slowly down field. The rats started to leave the field, as much by the sideline as by stretcher. Taking out the minotaur was not enough to compensate, and the Big Bang Theory guarded the ball and managed to score in turn 8. An attempt to score in the final turn by the rats came to naught and the Big Bang Theory held on for a 2-1 victory.

The All-Stars journey out to Bluebag Stadium was a happy as the orange-and-black attack stretch their unbeaten streak to 4 games with a comfortable 3-1 victory.

Winning the toss and kicking, the Bluebags seemed happt to let the elves score and reply in the first half to set for a second half long drive. Unfirtunately the rain caused a fumbled catch which allowed the Elves to sneak in at half time with a 2-0 lead. The highlight of the first half was the 6,6 + 6,6 foul (which has apothed from a BH), that allowed the elves to even the player count.

Drusus poulled on back on turn 5, which set the stage for an exciting finish, but the elves held their nerve and were rewarded with a third at the very end of the game.

CAS count was 3-2 to the humans (with 1 from a foul), and both elven CAS from crowdsurfing.

Coach Grumpsh gave a stirring eulogy today at Nashkar's funeral. A funeral which was not so much a sad affair, but more a celebration that he was no longer as Coach Grumpsh put it "a sucking hole on our salary cap"

"I like to think not so much that i've lost a player. But rather gained a point of armour on my offensive line" he went on to say. Fellow player Corranik also commented on his "lack of work ethic" and reminisced about how they'd been playing together for as long as he could remember, and how he "always knew he'd never amount to anything"

Nashkar, who was present for the entire affair refused to comment when asked about the general air of the proceedings and only mentioned that he was looking forward to his new team "Disturbed" and working with first class coach/necromancer Rabidbogscum.

well 5 out of 6 regen rolls success!!! 5 from team and 1 foul + 1 crowd surf. This game was closer at times than the scoreline suggested. The first half was grind and drive from me. Corranik did 3 casualties in the first 3 turns. When "down with the sickness" killed "Naskar" against the run of play i thought i better let him stay dead. Because i know rabid and he's never rolled a badly hurt in his life. He went on to do another 3 casualties which were, MNG (apothed to BH) Dead and SI-1av.

So this was a costly game for me in terms of money. I think both coaches went away fairly happy. Rabid was probrably unlucky not to go down 2-1 but the distance my Bull Centuars can cover makes the sprint to the finish a little tricky at best.

Tough scrum characterised by lots of Guard on both sides of the ball.

MEAT the Beast turned the the Orcs over after several attempts. Sacking the ball carrier and finally being able to get to it after it bobbled free. They scrambled clear with the Orcs in hot pursuit. But managed to get clear for the TD. It should be noted that Coach Burn overlooked the presence of his wizard for most of the game having forgotten it was present.

The Orcs were t draw 1-1 at the half though when Coach D_Arquebus forgot about the 1 turn TD pass and left a wide gap in his defense. The plucky little Otto Von Bismark (Goblin) sailed in to land and score much to the opponents chagrin :P .

The Beast received and pushed left. The Orcs almost over powered them in the arm wrestle that developed so The Beast had to again pull a scrambling play to get clear. It was at this point that Einstein's Ghost (Troll) failed his one turn and fell over without Blocking experience costing some Team Training at the same time. This allowed Giblet (star Ghoul) to run straight in to score. 2-1 to Meat the Beast.

The Orcs of Die Grune Bedrohung had 4-5 turns to equalise, but were to prove unable to meet the task. But only a 5+ pick up, 5+ pass (with he skill) and a +3 catch away from equalising.

Cheers Burn for the game. Was a tough match and went right down to the wire. The perm injury on Kidneys may prove telling in the Finals Series to come.

An overcast day in the inner west as Morwyr played host to the Horrible Hybrids in front of a large home crowd. The Hybrids were boosted by Zzharg to put the two teams on 12 players a piece as for the first time since there inaugural game Morwyr weren't relying on any Journeymen.

The Hybrids won the toss much to the displeasure of the home fans as the Elves were forced to kick but an extra reroll was the upside. The Hybrids were mild in the opening drive inflicting no casualties whilst Y Trallwng (lineelf) managed to take down a dwarf much to the pleasure of the crowd. Good pressure by the Elves saw the Hybrids scoring earlier than they would have liked with the number two bull centaur running it in.

Morwyr received mid way through the half and the Hybrids sought to bring some more pain whilst being down a player. Caerwynn (thrower) backed up from a completion in his first game against the Spear of Akkad with another succesful throw to Dalfa (catcher). As the drive went along rhwystro was forced out of the rest of the game and the next By the other bull centaur. After some scrappyness deep in the Hybrids hald Daliad (catcher) finally reclaimed the ball and scored on the stroke of half time.

Morwyr returned in the second half the much stronger team and proceeded to use a running game to good advantage over the Hybrids after recieving another reroll. Running down the left with the throwers and a few line elfs the remain blitzer and the catchers provided options deep in the Hybrids half that pulled dwarves out of position. Although a couple of elves were KO'd it eventually took a relative easy handoff by Taliad (thrower) to Daliad in a tackle zone before the catcher dodge away from the bull centaur to score Morwyr's second touchdown.

Sensing that the game was in the balance the home crowd rioted forcing the ref to wind the clock forward and giving the elves a chance to shut the Hybrids out for the half. The Hybrids responded by going on the warpath and giving Abertawe a niggling injury and due to the quick work of the apoth Maesyfed got off the hook from being killed with only being badly hurt and quickly rushed back to the reserves bench. With dwindling numbers the Elves failed to put the threatening bull centaur on the ground late in the half but with with an unsucessful handoff attempt which bounced around for an eternity before finally going out and being thrown back into the hybrids half the Elves held on for the win.

Inducements taken: Extra apoth and Babe, neither of which ended up being used.

This game was the classic Undead game of attrition, successful despite the freebooted Apothecary and Bloodweiser Babe. The Elves started with the ball and advanced quickly, but Namtar managed to bring down and Badly Hurt Rhwystro the Elven Blitzer with the ball just in time (who was immediately patched up by the mercenary Apothecary). After putting up a loose net around the loose ball, Nazag attempted a simple Dodge to recover the ball, but was tripped up by a skilfully placed Elven foot and killed! The next turn saw the Elves put a few tackle zones on the ball and the Undead attempted to bounce the ball free. After three failed catches, the ball ended behind the waiting Elves. On Turn 4, Cyff, the remaining Elven Blitzer on the pitch, deftly dodged into the defender's tackle zone, grabbed the ball, dodged away and scored.

The next drive started with a Riot, extending the half by one turn. The Undead began the drive with another KO and casualty, then grabbed the ball and formed a cage. Azag the Skeleton attempted a sneaky Foul to eliminate Cyff the Blitzer, but couldn't manage to break his armour. The remaining five turns saw a slow, grinding advance towards the end zone with lots of blocks, a few more KOs and another casualty (Badly Hurt on Caergybi the Lineman). The Spear made one more attempt to Foul out Cyff, but this time Ekku the Skeleton was caught and sent off. The Undead scored on Turn 8 to even the score at halftime.

With two players out of the game with casualties, the Elves needed their KO'd players back, but only managed one out of three (?), starting the second half with eight players against ten Undead. The Spear received the kick, caged up again and began another slow march towards the end zone. Another two KO's left the Elves struggling to deal with the Undead cage and the Undead decided to play it safe against the slippery elves, scoring on Turn 8 and leaving only one turn to secure the game.
