Firstly, well done everybody involved, organisers and players, it was a good weekend.
Now for my whining
Apologies if I have forgotten my opponents names.
Once again I tool the black and gold Mootland Wasps for another crack at the Stunty Cup. As long as I could avoid many games against Elves or Skaven I had a decent chance.
Game 1: vs MattRobson, Dark Elves. A scrappy first half in which the DE fought there way towards the endzone, to eventually score in turn 5 (delayed by a spilled ball on the TD line which was then hurled up the pitch by hail mary pass). The second half saw Puggy Baconbreath be handed the ball deep in his own half and set off for the endzone... which he eventually arrived at in the very last turn. Final score 1-1
Game 2: vs Blitzwing, Skaven. No resistance whatsoever. Completely out of ideas to counter a very good team. 5-0 defeat.
Game 3: vs Tritex, Dark Elves. The less said about this game the better. Fouling on pretty much every turn saw all three trees carried off within the first 4 turns of the game, and nobody left by the end! At the end of the match 2 players were knocked out with the other 12 being in the dead and injured box! 3-0 defeat. A dark day
Game 4: I forget who, but they were, of course, Dark Elves. A stunning game however and a bit of fight returned after the previous 2 games. A shootout which saw repeated incompetence by one Dark Elf lineman saw him struggle to pick up the ball again and again, handing me 1 TD. An interception right near their own endzone also cost the elves with another. This game saw my only 1 turn TD of the weekend. The equaliser for the DE coming in the very last turn. Final score 3-3.
Game 5: vs Pug, Orcs. (at last! no elves or Skaven in sight!). Comfortable game really. The Orcs concentrated on beating Halflings up, but just didnt have any luck with the dice at all. 2-0 win
Game 6: not sure who it was against, but I bet you can guess what race they were. Pointy ears, purple armour, faster, stronger, doing everything on a 2 plus. Another shocker. No luck whatsoever, the master chef gave me no re-rolls at all all game.. It can be summed up in one example. A well worked move which requires great thought and planning sees Puggy carry the ball, supported all the way, for about 5 or 6 turns, all the way to the line from well inside his own half only to fail a dodge to score. This eventually resulted in the ball being thrown around by the crowd ending up right down the other end where all a witch elf needed to do was merely pick it up to score (again). Gutted
I have to apologies to my opponent for the second half of this game because, although I had taken everything in good humour all weekend, I had had enough now and was a bit miserable with having little to no chance. 5-0 defeat.
Overall, I played pretty well and had some awful luck. But I learnt a lot and will be better for all those games against high moving high agility teams. The Stunty Cup was in sight going into the last game, with Valen playing in the next table and it being very close, but again it was not to be. But I will keep trying.
Thanks again everybody for a great weekend.
(I need to beat Brendon first 
)
So finally decided on Skaven, having never played a game with them before.
