Wood Elves Defeat Ogres 5-2

Bobby sat in for Dave and with a little bit of Kibittizing from Jeremy, really took his instructions from Dave to heart. He went out of his way to hit, hurt and foul the elves every chance he could, but sadly the wood elves were playing with a stacked deck.

With 3 gobbo missing, the Ogres could only field 11 to the elves 12. Oh did I mention that the Elves also had 2 handicaps.

Virus and Palmed Coin.

Goliath, wonderboy and Jerimah grimm all niggled out. Down to eight players. Bobby used the apothocary to bring Goliath back into the game, 9 players.

Did I forget to tell you about the sweltering heat we played in that would keep 1-2 players from both teams off the pitch each drive?

Short staffed and low on AG 3 players, the Ogres tried. Mr Nasty man was ejected for fouling, as was the rookie elf catcher.

Score 5-2 Elves
Cas 2-1 Ogres

Details posted later, but for those that care, of the 3 cas:

The Elven 4 str lineelf was injured defensively by Goliath, and recieved a Niggle, which I used my apothocary on. The other elvish casualty was a Badly Hurt.

The one casualty that the Ogres received was on Jobu. With the Apo already used, he had to accept the smashed Hip (-Move) that Woody inflicted on him.

Both teams +1 FF
Earnings: (-2 due to fans) Ogres +0K WE +40K

1 adance for the elfs, a lineelf with Block gains dodge. 110K in the bank for the woodelves, most likey means a rookie wardancer will be hired for the big week 9 match vs the Nuns.
