Deltings did not pick up the ball on the first turn allowing the Goblins to try and steal it. Unfortunately while they did managed to grab the ball they did not get away and it ended up with Pukk the Warprancer being knocked out and not waking up for the next drive!

Combining this with three snake eyed dodges the goblins did not managed to end the half with the game drawn. Second half was a difficult push forward but Goblins scored on the last turn and still had enough side step to prevent any change of one turn attempt.

With pressure on the cage, the dwarven runner had to dodge away but failed, letting the rats steal the ball to get a turnover TD.

The Scrats then received in the 2nd half and despite a great kick from the dwarves, did manage a quick score.

The Crushers then spent the rest of the game grinding their way to the endzone, with the by now much depleted rats unable to put up much resistance.

With Marguerite getting hurt pretty early in the game, the Beardies had lost their star player, and couldn't do much to prevent the gobbos from stalling. In the second half, though, they started to do some serious damage, and it felt that with only four players left on the field, the Gobpoppers would have difficulties preventing the Beardies from scoring twice. A quite incredible interception by Billy Budd the River Troll, though, managed to quash the Beardies hopes in the bud, and the game ended up with a well deserved tie for the Poppers. Sadly, though, they won't have many players left going into the next game.

A hard fought game where one brutal turn made all the difference.

Turn 1 of the second half, the norse go hard up full contact face to face, and in one incredible turn, the Scourge unleash their mighty blow and cause 4 casualties! After that, it was always going to be tough for the norse, and although they tried, and got an equaliser, they couldn't stop the 2-1.

The two fastest teams in the division squared off in what was expected to be a track meet. The first half did not disappoint, as each team traded a quick score. The rats got the ball and scored first, sitting their thrower inside a textbook rat cage which the elves never could penetrate -- which may have had something to do with their wardancers being pinned down under rodent boots. Receiving the kickoff, the elves quickly returned the favor with a handoff to a sprinting catcher for the equalizer before halftime.

However, some devious magic must have turned the two teams into dwarves during the halftime show. Instead of exciting scores the two teams traded blows, uncharacteristically landing 3 players in the dungeon gaols. After receiving the second half kick, the elves plodded down the field and spent the last few turns bouncing around the rats' half of the field in a desperate game of keep away from diving gutter runners, finally potting the winning goal just as their last turn expired.

The Dandy Lions faced a tall order in their first game in ages: Chaos Dwarfs. Overdogs, sure, but by exactly enough to give away a free wizard. The Lions started with the ball, and lost a player straight away to a brutal Chaos Dwarf blitz. The elves dodged and danced, but with all that tackle their rerolls quickly vanished. In the end Glimpse of Agony the wardancer had to make a desperate run for the endzone. He got there, and the 2 turn offence of the chaos dwarfs did not result in a score.

In the second half the agile bull centaur managed to muff the pick-up, and the wood elfs pounced on this gift opportunity, scoring the next turn. That could have been the end, but the Chaos Dwarfs managed a fairly quick score, and then used the wizard to take the ball back from the elfs. It looked like a tie - and then Glimpse of Agony did what wardancers are so famous for, putting the ball on the ground and the hope of the evil dwarfs in the mud.

On the rain soaked field The Pandemics started their first drive, but a few horrible rolls into the match they had coughed up the ball, and a Bretonnian blitzer ran it to the corner for a turn 8 score. The Bretonnians then started their own offence, and though they did get themselves into trouble, they also narrowly squeezed out of it again, reaching the endzone and scoring the winner. While the nobles celebrated the victory, the rest of the team was horribly battered and bruised, making the next game look pretty rough.

The dwarves slow grinded the first half, though didn't cause much damage. A thrown snotling almost equalised at half time.
The Ogres protected their snotling buddies as they advanced down the sideline, scoring on turn 13.
The dwarves were very violent in the final 3 turns but a deep kick had doomed them to a draw.
