Ye Olde Giants 2-1 The Outriders
Halftime meant the Outriders were receiving the ball. Just before the kick off the excitement was to much for the crowd and they invaded the pitch!
Once the crowds had been cleared off the pitch, 4 Outriders and the Giants Ogre were left lying stunned on the ground. The Outriders had a torrid time picking the ball, then trying to throw the ball but missing the intended target and the Giants seized the opportunity given by the pitch invasion. A press forward met they scooped up the ball.
The Outriders players chased after the attacking Giants and managed to get the ball loose.
Players all charged towards the ball.
With a mix of players surrounding the ball. The Outrider Blitzer stepped forward and picked the ball up right under a linesman nose and launched it out of the crowded area towards the waiting Catcher.
The Giants couldn't believe what had happened with that throw, the whole game turned around. The only players nearby were a thrower and lineman. Unfortunately they could not take the player down, Only push him back. With time running out the player handed it off to the catcher who dodged away from Giants. He then ran down the edge of the pitch.
The Outriders player ran towards the end zone and after passing 2 Going for It rolls they scored!
Ye Olde Giants 2-2 The Outriders
With only one turn left the Outriders kicked off to the Giants. In the town left the Giants blocked the closest players but no injuries caused. With that the whistle blew for full time!
The match ended with 4 touchdowns and 3 casualties. 2 on the Outriders team and 2 on the Ye Olde Giants. All were just badly hurt and will be back in action again next time. MVPs were worked out. One of the Outriders Blitzers levelled up gaining dodge. One of the Giants lineman levelled up gaining Block.
That was a cracking match. A good number of touchdowns but man those Elves can pull passes and catches out of nowhere!
sounds like an extremely tense and entertaining match up! loving this
