A very intense match that was open until the last moment.
Facing 2 str 5 Elves and Endril Sidewinder but only 11 players, the Sons of korhal decided to give the ball to the turkeys, hoping that playing offence would be much easier later on.

The Turkey managed to fend off the sons and scored in turn 8.

the second half started 10 vs 11 but the turkeys still had every key player available, so it was not the damage one could hope for with 5 mighty blow and a very active dirty player...

The Sons got under heavy pressure for several turns, but managed miraculously to get into a scoring position with a lonely thrower in turn 16 and all the turkeys could do was to put a tackle zone on the player.

Despite having zero rerolls left the thrower remainded cool as a cucumber and made the 3+ dodge, and secured the draw that was enough for the sons of Korhal to make it to the final.

The game commenced with a shocking blitz where the elves managed to zip past the offense, snag the kickoff and throw it back to their teammates who then took the looong way to the endzone, unfairly robbing the Brets of their first half possession.

A quick pass and sprint to the endzone at the beginning of the second half brought the score to 2-0 in favor of the elves. The Brets regained their footing for a textbook march to the endzone near the end of the second half to make it 2-1, and took their frustrations out on their opponents by targeting the star wardancer for a foul on the last turn.

A blood bath of a game, Testery had 1 player left on thepitch at the end. The Chaos were too strong. Thanks for the game and grats on the win.

Cheers for the game! Took a while to get going, blood wise, but then it really kicked off!

This was in some ways a traditional 2-1: a long drive by the Hurricanes that took the whole first half, then a quick equalizer by Subjugate and another grinder by the Hurricanes in the second half. However, Subjugate made a real mess of the Hurricanes' second half drive, knocking the ball out in the rain, and even recovering it, but the Hurricanes recovered just in time to get the winning score.

The rats were able to stop the elves on their first drive and scored to go up 1-0 in the first half. Second half started with a blitz. The elves did the elf thing by recovering the onside kick and throwing a TD pass. The elves managed to knock the ball carrier over on the next rat drive and were thinking upset...but the blitzer couldnt get the ball. The rats recovered and went up 2-1. The last ditch play for the elves to try and score ended when their back up thrower rolled double 1s so zero chance of a 1 turn TD.

Great game but the rats were too much for the elves...

In the beginning there was the ball, and the ball was elvish. Alas, the slithering Saurians put so much pressure on the fragile wood creatures that they felt they had to score quickly. But with Ashoka the catcher wounded, it fell on Obi-Wan the Wardancer to run to the line. And he tripped. Furcifer Pardalis picked up the ball and ran away with it, going past the Touchdown line in the last seconds of the first half.
Both teams were so high on adrenaline from the emotions of that first half that they thought the game was over and were very surprised when the referee called them back for what they thought was a third half but was only the second, regular one.
The second half started normally, with Chamaeleo Dilepis feeling safe with the ball in his cage until Anakin jumped in and sent him to the ground. But Nuffle is great, and his love of all things scaly showed. The ball bounced, bounced, bounced again, until it found its way in the delicate hands of Venus herself. All the Kroxigoran goddess of beauty had to do then was to remember to stop looking at herself in a mirror long enough to trample her adversaries and go through the touchdown line.
After that, elvish morale was down the drain. Anakin picked the ball, passed it to Obi Wan, who tripped again. Having no sense of honour, Chlamydosauruss kingii picked the ball, kicked Obi Wan in the same, and ran to the other side of the pitch. And that was basically it. The elves never gave up, but, alas, they never managed to get the ball again.

The High Elves stole the ball but the dwarves beat them to an inch of there lives and they couldn't score.

Spectacular and hard fought with 4 offensive drives. Each was hotly contested, each ended in a score, and each required the offense to perform some dangerous plays.
