Match: Bugman's Birds 2—1 Immortals

The strong wind never made a big difference to this game, but the raw power of the Birds did!

The Immortals had thier mighty talisman back! But man did he look rusty. It all lookded great when Odysseus ran in a touchdown early on. But looking back it would appear that the Birds had forced ... [more]

Match: Apollo 0—2 Body Count

Weather - Pouring rain, -1 to all ball handling and -1 Movement due to mud. Typical! Why couldn't it have been a nice 7.

Fame - +1 to Renard.

Kick Off - I recieved.

Even due to the lousy weather I was pretty confident of getting something out of this game due to my secret weapon - Hack Enslash! Armour 7 mainly + chainsaw = Lots of dead Gobbo's and Rats. Renard kicked and I promptly got a touch back (big smiles, happy thoughts!). Moved up, built a cage all was well with the world. Turn 1 all but over now to blitz with Hack, 1 dead Gobbo coming up. Whats this? A 1? Your joking! Didnt take the risk on loner, 8 followed by double 5, 1 on the Regen roll, that was that! Renards turn to smile broadly. My next 4 turns didnt involve a lot of moving as Renard pinned me in with some aggresive defensive play. Side Stepping Goblins are the most annoying players......ever! With a Skelly off through some gang fouling (skaven lineman was sent off) I was just waiting for the gap to appear when a Tomb Guardian hit the deck. Now, with one sent off i didnt expect Renard to gang foul again, sadly I had underestimated his desire for death. Through the armour with assists and then Double 6 on injury, oh dear! With only 3 TG's anyway and Decay to contend with I shut my eyes and rolled....5! Big sigh of relief which was heard in Aberdean and then back to the business of trying to kill Underworld players. Made my gap and pegged it down the pitch with a Blitz-ra for protection. A failed Goblin dodge and I was clear, 1-0 at half-time.

The 2nd half opened with a quick snap for Renard but he tried for a completion which saw the ball loose (however, he did make 2 successful ones during the course of the game). Managed to get a tackle zone on the ball with a TG and pressed the area around the ball with as many players as i could, creating a....well, a mess really! Renard was forced into a backtrack after retrieving the ball allowing my 2 Blitz-ra's to gang up on his Skaven ball carrier. At last my TG's found out that they were on the pitch to cause casualties and 2 came along like buses. This dealt the death knell sadly to Renard's brave resistance. With prone players on the side lines marked (ready for crowd surfing if they were stood) and outnumbered in the middle of the board, my Blitz-ra got hold of the ball and ran in turn 8 for 2-0.

As this was only his 2nd game Renard caused me massive problems in the 1st half and i was fortunate to be able to break away to lead at half time. The sending offs hurt him in the long run as the strength advantage my team held started producing dividends in the 2nd half. Great opponent and looking forward to the rematch (I expect more side steppers sadly). As for Hack....no comment!

Match: Grok Stompa 0—1 WAR on Tour

With the weather playing up all week, it wasn't a surprise to the lacking attendance at Grok's homeground to find the stadium had been hit by terrential rain. Not letting this horrendous glitch stop them, both teams took to the pitch knowing this was an essential win - putting them clear at the top of the league table.

The game started with Grok recieving and, after flattening the front line of humans, proceeded to fumble about in the rain for the ball. Eventually locking it up tight in greenskin hands, they secured it just into their half and started throwing black orcs into 'The Tour's' faces. Seeing an opportunity to break through a funneled opening in WAR's line, Stompa threw the ball carrier into the opposing half, hoping to box it up tight enough behind enemy lines. The support was not strong enough to hold however, and WAR made a blitzing play, stripping the ball off the Orcs and securing it themselves. A relatively easy stroll upfield and some goal hanging meant they made it 1-0 in the closing seconds of the first half.

As the players took to the field for the second half, spirits were high as the realisation of clear skies meant handling the ball should be a piece of cake... or so you would've thought! With Strong winds blowing, the orc kick went deep and after a strong pocket set up, Superstar Dante went straight for the ball... only to drop it.... and again.... and again.... AND AGAIN! Not being one to pass up an opportunity like this, Grok threw everything they could onto the ball (which was now only inches from 'The Tour's goal line). After what seemes like hours of back and forth punching, ball pickups, ball drops and pushing about, the ball ended up in orc hands mere inches from the line. With one last desperation play, WAR floored the Greenskin and Dante earned a little forgiveness with a beautiful defensive pass over the top of the Orcs.

Not wanting to tempt fate, WAR held off from making the 2-0 play and held the ball mid field until the clock ran down. A great game between two real contendors in Division 1. With WAR avoiding the draw by the skin of their teeth, we wonder if their luck will run out when this same game comes around at Fumbly in a few weeks. ... [more]

Match: Da Firm 0—0 The Fancy Lads

Well folks, there's a storm coming! The brisk autumnal wind is gonna make these players work to stand on their feet if they push their stamina on those long runs.

Although this is the first time these teams have met, the coaches have had a previous run in - it was none too pleasant if I remember...(I've heard Da Firm's boss mutter about taking out the Minotaur tonight but I think he's got a beef with The Fancy Lads' coach).

The rookie chaos bunch look like they've played quite a bit in the pre season "un freindlies" and they seem well co-ordinated; unlike the Orc team who - as usual - have gone for an unorthodox start.

The Orcs kick off with a neatly placed kick almost into the endzone - that's going to take some chasing down!

Eventually the chaos team have picked up the ball leaving it well guarded. The Orcs seem to be all over the place with no particular game plan. They are just chasing The Fancy Lads around; who seem quite content to split the entire Orc team apart. Wait...Here comes an amazing play: The ball is handed off; it's run down the line and sucessfully thrown! This has got to end in a touchdown, but not yet as the chaos player has run out of steam a few paces from the endzone, he shouldn't have to worry as the lone player seems well protected from his team mates who are following behind.

I can't watch, there's an Orc blitzer, number seven I think, he's really GOING FOR IT! even in this terrible wind, he's knocked the marauder down and succesfully picked up the ball! Watch it though because Teiwaz is charging in for the kill. However, all that he can manage is a push which allows for a fantastic pass all the way up field - that's got to be 98 yards!!!

The Orc rush to the ball but its bouncing from team to team and no one will be scoring this half!

The second half starts a lot more organised for Da Firm - they've set up their familiar cage and have the ball nestled in no time. The ball is slowing trudging up the pitch with those nasty Black Orc pushing onwards. They're not fast though and The Fancy Lads have got a lot of payers around that Orc shield. There's not much room for manouvering and The Fancy Lads won't want to be caught by the same trick twice - that long ball really upset them, could they be in for a second upset?

Right, back to the action. Here comes the Minotaur again - he's so angry he's not noticed that he's been surrounded by Black Orcs. Frag L. Rock - who to be honest didn't do much last season has thrown a MASSIVE punch to Teiwaz and he's gone down hard - the crowd has been stunned to silence. He's not moving! The Chaos apothacary has come on with all many of equipment. It's OK folks the big guy is OK and will return next week I'm sure...wait...wait...NO WAY! The readings were false on the chaotic medical equipment TEIWAZ IS DEAD DEAD DEAD!!! - It looks like it's going to be cow pie tonight and the Orc supporters have gone wild - it's bovine madness here.

Da Firm have got what they came for and half heartedly attempt another long throw but its too far to collect. The score remains nil nil but Da Firm are singing in the wind. Oh the dramas of this great and beautiful game. ... [more]

Match: WAR on Tour 1—0 The Suffragette Movement

An incredibly brutal back and forth game here at Fumbly Stadium. With two former league champions going head to head to start Division one this season - the fans came excited and left happy!

WAR on Tour received in the first half and confidently marched the ball upfield swaying side to sid

With WAR down 10 players to 11, the suffras looked strong, receiving the ball and locking it up in a loose cage, ulfwerenars fronting this pocket of destruction. Piling on the pressure, WAR pushed shamed thrower Dante into the mix, forcing him to singlehandedly charge at the ball carrier. Within seconds Adele Claws frenzied her way through the talentless oaf and pushed him into the stands. Realizing that holding off would be their demise, WAR jumped onto the Suffras, swamping them with blocks and blitzes. As it came to the middle of the 2nd half, WAR was up 10 players to 5 and made a play for the ball at midfield. Tank smashed the ball from the carrier, and a few more punches and some KOs later, the Norse were down to 3 players and WAR scooped up the rock and held it at the oppositions line until the closingnseconds. Walking across the line to a mix of cheers and boos, ended a beautiful game of blood bowl for these top teams.

So many close calls and a few bad judgements meant this game could have ended with so many different results - but the fact remains, WAR have jumped into 2nd place and have started the season off strong with this 1-0 win over their long-term rivals! ... [more]

Match: Grimlocks' Grinders 0—0 Body Count

Much anticipation for this opening fixture of Div.4. With 10 Ag1 players on the pitch however expectation of a high scoring contest seemed slim. That seemed even more likely as Pouring rain was rolled for weather (have to admit my confident smile did wane a little here!). Lewis won the toss and opted to recieve and was then stung by a pitch invasion, I had +2 fame and 8 reptiles promptly ended up face down in the dirt (cue smile returning!). What happened over the next 8 turns was a Blitz-Ra and Skeleton putting great pressure on 2 skinks down near Lewis's endzone. Sadly, whenever the ball did come loose my butter fingered Khemri decided the ball was to much like a hot potato and refused to pick it up. The remaining players decided to just bash hell out of each other and Dekker was removed from play with a -1 St for his troubles (Skeleton for fouling problem solved!). Finally the half ended with the ball on a skink and no opportunities for either team to score.

Praying for a change in weather for the 2nd half (nope, it's still raining!). Lewis kicked and it ended just inside my half on the halfway line. With a high kick chance to catch it (6's eh! Not a chance) I prayed for it to bounce out for a touch back. Oh look! Wrong way. So, I set about protecting the ball and then bashing Lizzies. This became a common theme for 8 turns (again!) and the Grinders gave as good as they got. In fact, after 6 attempts to pick it up and failing I was beginning to get fed up. Then the Kroxigor stepped into the breach and promptly smashed one of my Blitz-Ra's (smile well and truly vanished now!). One last chance to pick up the ball failed and it bounced on the Kroxigor who yes, you guessed it, caught it on a 6. Now things were desperate, and i was reduced to desprate Blitz's on the Krox and protecting the ball. As the game drew to a close, no re-rolls for anyone I decided a 0-0 was not the worst result and just carried on keeping the ball in 3 tackle zones.

Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable game (frustrating at times) and I found Lewis to be a great opponent who played a very good game and was probably unfortunate not to win. It was played at a quick pace and if his players carry on being indestructable he will certainly be in at the sharp end come the end of the season. The return fixture could be a classic.....if it remains dry! ... [more]
