Champs vs Ogres: Game 5

Team Logo of the Black Mountain Lochers
The Norse faced the Ogres of the Black Mountain Lochers today in Round 5 of the Season.  After winning the toss and electing to receive, the Norse turned over the Ogre drive after a fumbled snotling throw, then did it again on the next drive when the snotling ball carrier fizzed a dodge (love the tackle skill!) to be 2:0 up at half time with an Ogre and two snotlings carried from the field (the Ogre was killed but revived by the apothecary).

The second half saw the Norse drive up after removing the entire opposing line of scrimmage.  Norse runner Fafnir Bearclaw sprinted up with the ball but tripped over his own shoelaces on the TD line and not even his sure feet could save him.  The Ogres responded with a surprising ball retrieval, pass, hand-off combo to get into the Norse backfield.  The Northmen tried to recover with their defenders but had no luck and the snotling dodged away to make it 2-1 with 5 turns to go.

The drive was setup again with the Norse trying yet again but failing a catch and the ball was grabbed by the snotlings midfield.  The Norse cracked open the cage, killed the ball carrier and took the ball into the Ogre backfield.As the last minutes of the game ticked by, a great blitz by an Ogre prevented the Norse from scoring and the game ended at 2-1.  The Norse inflicted 6 casualties (including two deaths) and took one (badly hurt) in return.

Skill ups for Thrower Boris Surespear (Accurate), Ulfwerner Rodger the Furious (Block) and Lineman Dag the Dangerous (Wrestle) plus 60k go into the treasury and some extra fans (fan factor is now 5).

This win brings the Norse season to 3W-2L and into second place.  Next game looks like a tough one against the menacing Chaos Dwarves of the Hammer of Hashut, then the last game of the season against the elves of the Woodland Stryders who were division rivals in the Rookie Season.,
