RCBBL Week 4 Humans vs Orcs

Another match in week 4 of the RCBBL. The Ye Olde Giants (Humans) take on the Bearwood Brawlerz (Orcs).  More Giants fans arrived for the game giving their team a boost. The Brawlerz won the toss and  elected to receive the ball.

The Giants go for a defence in depth to avoid a scrap on the line of scrimmage 

The kick went up and the Brawlerz drive started as all Orc drives should start with their front row smashing the opponents line


The new addition to the Brawlerz a goblin grans the ball and runs for the wing. Other Brawlerz move up to protect him.
The Giants  defence got into motion.


On the other winger the Orc Blitzers pushed forward but were stopped by Giants linemen.


The battle continued in the centre and the Giants Lineman was smashed to the ground dead. Rip Laurence Taylor  Giants Lineman No 7.

That's a dead roll that is!!! 

The Brawlerz pushed forward reorganising the defence around the goblin


The Blitzers tried again to break away but seeing the ref was distracted the one blitzer put the boot into a downed Giant

Unfortunately the ref did see it! The Blitzer was sent off, the Brawlerz coach argued the call with ref pointing out that the blitzer was merely trying to help the Giant player up. The ref sent the coach off as well!!!!!

The Brawlerz sensing their attack on the wing had stalled They shifted tactics, a fortunate case of stupidity on the Giants ogre (to be fair he spotted a very nice daisy) a Brawlerz black orc ran and smashed into the Giants players trying to get at the goblin ball carrier


The goblin holding the ball scampered back across the field and handed the ball off to the Brawlerz thrower. He moved Into a better position  and sent the ball sailing down field

Who says Orcs can't pass! 

The blitzer snatches the ball out of the air and takes off towards the end zone aided by a block from a  Brawlerz lineman to clear the way

TOUCHDOWN!!!! 
Bearwood Brawlerz 1 - 0 Ye Olde Giants

The teams reset. The Giants had faced a pummelling one dead player one badly hurt one and a KO'd player meant they started the game with 10 men.  The Giants knew they needed to get a TD quick otherwise the game would get away from them. The coach shifted the players around using the ogre on the right wing  to punch a hole through the Brawlerz lines and the Giants Catchers sprinted through the gap.  The Giants thrower Eli Manning scooped up the ball and looked for a pass


The Giants thrower launched a long bomb but the pass went off target.
Luckily  the ball didn't land to far from a Giant Catcher

Quite a lucky bounce for the Giants 

The Giants also caught a Brawlerz lurking on the sidelines and he was pushed into the waiting crowd. It must have been the Brawlerz fans as he made it back to the dugout mostly unscathed. The Giants catcher grabbed the ball and sprinted for the end zone

TOUCHDOWN!!!!! 

Bearwood Brawlerz 1 - 1 Ye Olde Giants

That was half time. As they lost the coin toss and the Brawlerz had elected to receive first half, the Giants would be receiving the ball. So set up to punch their Catchers through again


The Giants scooped up the ball and again attempted to smash their way through Brawlerz line. Thankfully they have an ogre and he wasn't distracted by any local flora so he got stuck in

The thrower gets his pass on target this time 
The Catcher grabs the ball and makes for the end zone.

TOUCHDOWN!!!! 

Bearwood Brawlerz 1 - 2 Ye Olde Giants

Time was running out and the Brawlerz knew they needed push forward. The ball was kicked off and the Brawlerz started by pounding the line of scrimmage.



The Brawlerz thrower grabbed the ball and headed to the centre where the Brawlerz players were forming a cage.  The ogre got knocked down and as he was getting up he spotted a nice dandelion and so forgot about the match allowing orc players around him.


More players join the cage but 2 Brawlerz catch a Giant player on the edge of the field.

The Cage gets bigger

The Giants Catcher goes for a trip into the crowds
The Catcher managed to get back to the dugout without permanent injury.

The ogre regained his senses as the Dandelion was crushed by an orc lineman. The ogre got up and smashed into the side of the cage


The ogre tackled an orc player who sent the ball carrier sprawling backwards to the edge of the cage. The entire Giants team  surrounded the cage in an attempt to stop the Brawlerz.


An absolulety brutal melee started, the Giants brought the ball carrier down leaving the ball in the open but surrounded by various players

The ball is loose but who will get it! 

The Giants struggle to get players to the ball, the Brawlerz realise they only have seconds remaining! The Brawlerz players managed to  push the Giants players out of the way, the Brawlerz thrower grabs the ball and makes a break for open space.  He spots a lone Brawlerz lineman on a rope position and sends the ball sailing through the air. The lineman catches it and runs towards the end zone as the referee puts the whistle to his lips.

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!! 


Final score Bearwood Brawlerz 2 - 2 Ye Olde Giants. 

What a brutal match. The Orcs pummelled the humans for the first half I'm so glad their armour rolls got worse in the second half.

The MVPs were awarded. The Giants Thrower and the Brawlerz Black Orc got the SPP. Just the one level up this time. The Giants thrower  gained Accurate.

The Giants made enough cash and using some from the treasury to hire a new lineman. The Brawlerz bought another re-roll.
That draw has damaged the Brawlerz ideas of top of the league but the draw was better than a loss leaving then a chance.  One match left to be played in this round.  Loving Blood Bowl!!
