An exciting match today between Viking BBC and Sanguin Corsairs, as the two fledgling rookie teams sought to establish themselves.
Viking BBC had the early advantage, removing several players. Moving ahead with a standard cage tactic, they secured the ball in the in-zone and Smashson scored in turn 7. For the dark elves, their best chance was off the blitz, but they failed the key dodge (3+, 2+, 2+, 2+, 2+ - failed reroll on the first dodge). 1-0 to Viking BBC, with 7 dark elves returning for the reception.
The kick-off was an odd one, landing on the line of scrummage and bouncing behind the Corsairs centre. Following a flurry of (one dice) blocks, Hunschocu shocked the BBC with a daring dash straight through the line. Though he went for it at full speed, the norse were able to drag him down - but not out! With seconds to spare, he jumped up dodge into a tackle zone and ran with his last breath to score (3+, 3+, 2+, 2+ - reroll on the final GFI). 1-1!
Following the kick-off, the Corsairs again played through the middle, though this time with a convention long pass delivering the payload. BBC again took out the receiver, however a second receiver was on hand to dodge into scoring position (4+, 2+, 2+, 4+, 2+). 1-2 Sanguin Corsairs.
The dark elves were restored to 8 players and regained an important leader reroll, and BBC were left with 7 turns to equalise. Again the Norse caged up and beat down the Dark Elves with 2 KOs, to reduce the Corsairs to only 6 players. Even so the Dark Elves divebombed the cage 4 times - first a failed blitz, second a turnover (5+, POW), third a failed blitz (on a 6) and finally a desparately close effort that fell short (2+, 5+, push, reroll skull!). Completing their beat down, with only seconds to play the Norse drew level - 2-2!
That should have been it, however the Norse had one last trick up their sleeves. A timely blitz and
long kick gave them a chance to score. Forturnately for the Dark Elves lineperson Sethan picked up the ball to diffuse the chance, and was supported with some generous dodging from her team mates.
Final score then 2-2.
