Well sports fans an exciting night. The Under Grubbers came to their first offical Leeague match full of confidence after an extremely good preseason and with a strong roster.
Looking across the line of scrimmage they thought, “so there’s a few big guys, but there’s also a nice lot of things to kill with all those Snotlings running about”, how quickly they learnt.
First the Pump Wagon crashed after running into an Ogre, then one square from scoring on the first turn, Khang the Goblin fell Going For It! and down the field came the Longhorns.
Next Gorgo the Troll was downed, missing the next game, then a Linesman was killed. The under Gubbers kept trying to grab a Snotling or two but they always seemed to manage to slip away. The Longhorns managed to score a second TD before half time.

The second half started a bit better with the Grubbers managing to score on a drive, but in doing so managed to loose a Black Orc Blocker, (killed) and suffering 2 other casualties, while only managing to inflict one in return.

Thanks to Brad for the game, I certainly learn a lot about moving the ball from him and as with the others I have played, he was willing to help and give advice.
