Guardians Draw

Last night the Lothern Guardians and the Red Riding Hood Rockets fought out their second 1-1 draw for the season.

The Rockets had plenty of inducement money for the game and used it to instill some Bad Habits in the High Elf squad (although the Guardians are proving quite good at making unforced errors without any assistance) and getting one of their Werewolves, Harmarg the Howler, to successfully swallow a Potion of Strength. The latter proved crucial as Harmarg's drugged-fueled strength enabled him to single-handedly prevent two High Elves from reaching the End Zone.

The result of a draw was a product both sides great defensive play and some shocking moments of ineptitude on offense. The Werewolves inability to pick-up the ball and to escape from defenders with straight forward dodges derailed their entire First Half. The High Elves had several opportunities to take the match but made some very basic errors that stalled several plays before they really began (five double ones!!). 

It could have been Rocket's match right on Full-Time - as Billy the Stern fired off a pass to Spinerobber deep in Guardian territory. But the Ghoul was so shocked at seeing his team actually throw the ball (they've only had three pass completions all season) he panicked and failed the catch.

There was some additional bad news for Guardians as their star catcher, Tarn`syr, was carried from the field during the First Half with a Smashed Knee. Not good for next weeks game against that seemingly unstoppable reptile outfit - Fat Freds Freaks.

Thanks to Adams for match. At least now both our teams are (slightly) ahead of the non-participating Orc team :)
