Guardians Lose (Under Own Coach)

Last night the Lothern Guardians were convincing defeated 2-1 by Drakeular's Legion. Enabling the Humans to take some well deserved revenge for their defeat by Guardians in the Championship rounds.

With their regular coach absent for such a long period, the High Elves initially seemed quite unsure themselves, or just plain resentful, and made a series of basic errors in the first half that handed the initiative and eventually the game to the Humans (all 3 re-rolls in the first half were used on failed 2+ rolls - and only once successfully).

The second half saw an improvement in form for the High Elves and their determined defence twice dispossessed the Legion of the ball - but they ultimately failed to stop the Humans scoring a second Touch Down and establishing an assailable 2-0 lead late in the second half. Some of the Guardians honor was salvaged with a TD of their own right on full time.

A full replay in available on Cabalvision!

Thanks to Gav for the game and good luck for the rest of the season.

And a big thanks to all the Coaches who stepped in play my team while I was away - and who also clearly did a better job than I did last night!  A combination of work and unexpected family disasters necessitated my absence for such a long period. Everyone's patience is much appreciated.

Nurgle vs Lizards

                         

A small skink staggered down to the microphone with one arm in a sling as he tapped the microphone

"I hope this is on..."

He looked up meekly

"We played our game tonight...against those stinky Nurgles.  They all ganged up and hurt us plenty!  Fat Fred...well he is in traction at the moment and wont be back for a couple of weeks due to severe injuries...plus one of my skink brothers will walk with a limp from now on...once he gets out of hospital that is"

He shook his head sadly

"We did manage to win the game 2-0...plus we killed one of the stinky rotters and badly hurt a couple of the pestigors.  It was a very brutal game indeed but we feel like we won the game and lost the fight"

Once again he shook his head sadly

"There was plenty of fouling and Big A must have paid off the refs...wait...we paid off the ref but he still allowed those spikes to dig into poor Fat Freds flesh..."

He began to sob

"We are on top of the ladder and undefeated so far....so there!"

He poked out his tongue and scampered away back up the stairs towards the change rooms

______________________________________________________

Thanks to Andrew for a brutal game indeed!

* In the stats both teams had block success of over 60%

* Both teams rolled more skulls than POW's

* Big A failed 4 out of 15 "really stupid" rolls and they all seemed to be at critical times

* In the dice rolling Andrew rolled more 1's and less 6's than me which had a real impact on the game.

Overall the game had everything you would expect from a top of the table clash and a big thanks go out to Big A for a real thriller!

Givo

Dark Smells?

Hi all,

Sorry for posting through the blog to everyone, but I wanted to make sure the message got to the right person.

I'm up against Dark Smells this round and, if memory serves, they have a floating coach this season.

So, who is coaching them this round, and when do you want to play out the game?

Cheers,


Nestyr (Jeff)
