The Har Ganeth Blades began, what is hopefully, their long climb out of the cellar last night with an emphatic 4-1 victory over the Traitors of Valhalla.
While the Dark Elves again managed to avoid the appallingly clumsy plays that characterised the team's performance earlier in the season - the scoreline had less to do with their performance and a lot to do with the shocking luck of their Norse opponents. Two of the Blades Touch Downs came from simple Norse passes that went astray and third from a Blitz on the Kick-Off at the start of the second half! A full replay is available on Cabalvision.
The impressiveness of the scoreline was somewhat off-set by injuries that will see the Blades two players short for next round's encounter with the Orcs of Uruk Ho! But the 60,000 gp purse collected at the end of the match does mean the Dark Elves can afford to hire a new player to fill the spot left by the death of their Blitzer, Gáen Scaros two weeks ago. The team is remaining tight-lipped (or are just indecisive) regarding who the replacement will be - but rumor has it they are canvassing widely and interviewing a number of novice Blitzers, Assassins and Witch Elves for the vacancy.
