Woodies Win Again...at a High Price

The Asrai Arachnids defeated the Desert Demons of Anubis tonight 2-1, but at a very high price.

The team captain, Wardancer Ohtacarsila, was king hit by the foul Khemri, and fell to the ground, dead.  "No problem", said coach Nestyr.  "Apothecary, get out there and do your job"!  But, alas, there was nothing the Apothecary could do.  While being able to repair and revive players from all sorts of injuries, there's nothing to be done when the opposing player is running around the field with your player's heart in their hands, and refuses to give it up...

Sadly, that was not the last of the woes for the Wood Elves - team vice captain, Wardancer Tal'tor, in a valiant attempt to recover the ball with a Blitz, leapt awkwardly away over a defender, and landed badly, fracturing her leg, and will miss the next game while she recovers.  Our next opponent is very lucky, as they will be facing the Arachnids with no Wardancers on the field.

Both teams had their fair share of fortune and bad luck, and the Arachnids were the eventual victor only due to the fortunes of Nuffle providing an opportune Blitz at the start of one drive, which made the end result one TD in their favour.

Kudos to Givo for subbing and playing a strong game with an unfamiliar team.

Cheers,


Nestyr
