Match Unplayed. Ruled a Draw.

+++ OFFICIAL DC UNITED TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT +++

Goblin Administrators today announced that the teams last game against The Oozing Buboes would be just that... Their last. "A season of mis-management both on and off the pitch has left us with no option but to wind up the teams affairs," a spokesgoblin said. "We are unable to comment on what individual players will do now, though a couple of the Beastmen seem to have developed nasty coughs in the last 24 hours and the team Minotaur has a very nasty looking rash!"

So as a long season crawls to a close two teams took to the pitch with nothing to play for and nothing to prove. Beastmen looked across the pitch at Pestigors and shrugged. Eight Chaos Warriors stood around pondering the meaning of life and why they'd only managed ten casualties between them all season. The sun shone brightly (hampering the Nurgle 'air' game somewhat!) as the ref blew the whistle and... Eight turns later the teams were tied at 0-0. The highlight of the first half being a fumbled thrown between two Pestigors. The second half was livened up slightly by a Pestigor tripping over and killing himself and DC United managing to get the ball over the touch line on their turn eight.

... But I'm doing the game a dis-service. Both coaches, despite having nothing to play for put a lot of mental effort into what was a hugely enjoyable game. As both teams disappeared into the sunset the only notable sound was the odd phlegm filled cough... Cough! ;)

An incredibly tight game with The Mighty Bo finally managing to run it in on turn 16! Two huge moments in the game saw The Count killed halfway through the first half and fail his regeneration. Then early in the second half Hector was killed but this time the regeneration worked.......


There were a few other key moments in the game but it was a cagey affair with both teams giving nothing and wanting the points.

Following the brutal match against the Dwarves of Division 4. Ocean's team is looking at an overhaul. After spending a few days swimming in the cash generated by the death of the infamous troll slayer, Danny decided to hire his on/off wife Teresa Ocean and Virgil's Brother Turk Malloy. He has decided to let Roman Nagel go, the niggling injury too much of a liability. Perhaps the time off will allow Roman to get better. Meanwhile Star Player Rusty Ryan has sent his/her little finger off to the Dark Elf sorcerors to see if they grow a clone to replace her/him. The serious concussion he/she/it received could spell the end to her/his career..

A remorseless & relentless ratfest that saw the Nuns hard pressed and ultimately stomped all over by the Wodents. Maybe it was all the spilled blood that made so many Vamps go woozy when they needed to bring it, or perhaps it was the pre-match garlic infusions given to the skaven by their apoothecary that carried their fortunes, who can say?

What is certain is that this win places the Wodents head to head with the 'Gettes in their final match of the Season. With a relegation position in the balance this looks to be the match to watch folks!

Nearly game breaking... Zara the slayer took to the field in a vain attempt to stem the flow of the Frenzies unbeaten streak, Which she almost did until he surfed her with great joy. Seems ghouls and werewolves are not keen on a stab to the face. As it was first half to the humans, second half to the Necro's honors even. Enough for the frenzies to win the title of division champs!

1 - 1 a step in the right direction for the humans, but not enough to keep their fight alive

El Classico returned in a game that would see the losers out of the running for the title and the winners keep the pressure on the league leaders.

The early casualties were elven, the streak of deaths only halted when the Apo stepped in to heal Van Persie and keep him in the game. The Rodents ground out a tough first half, managing to run in for the score on turn 8 despite some desperate defending and putting several elves out of the game in the process.

Half time saw most of the Arrogance return and it was almost level on players before a long pass for the equalizer failed and gave the Slashers the opening they needed, surrounding the ball they set out to grind out a second score. Surviving a series of high risk defensive plays the rats moved the ball up the pitch, losing Thesalik along the way but with The Reaper carving up the elven players. Nothing the Orange Tide could do stopped the score and it was 2-0 with a couple of turns left. A consolation TD at the death brought Sneijder the points he needed for an AG boost and a tough post-season decision for the Arrogance coach.

Well sports fans not exactly the game the reapers needed, with the suffragettes rolling blitz on the initial kick off, setting the pace and it was all downhill from there, ug the reapers troll spent most the game trying to remember what he was there for and the gettes made the most of it!

ending 4-0

The pact the fallen champ has made with the lord of Kaos is certainly paying off! for now!

The fans were baying for blood, and blood they got. With a total of 11 fouls by the end of the match, with one cowering referee and six stuns caused by the fans themselves as they got carried away. In all the excitement the ball appeared to be largely forgotten with a somewhat pedestrian 1-1 draw.

After struggling during the last couple of games Remus has decided that his injury was just too much to continue as a professional player. 'The Tyrant' has accepted the captains badge and has promised fans that he will take us to the top.

Finally a big welcome to Shatak 'The Claw' to the Club, he has some big boots to fill but we have faith that he will be an outstanding addition to the team.

A brutal game with both teams needing the points. The Gobbos came out fighting and didnt stop! Regeneration saved the day for the Immortals allowing them to edge this close encounter.

A hard fought game, with "rabid" ronnie the skaven tin opener knocking orcs down left, right and centre! luckily for the reapers Badslags no orc and he danced his team to the win! The first points of the season, perhaps a little late, but with the gettes next on the list anything could happen!

Turns out bonehead catchers are not quite so bad as bonehead vampires.

The Rodents took an early advantage in players on pitch but were under pressure to score as the Dwarfs started to even the numbers. This gave Bo plenty of time for the equalizer going into the half, the Slashers waited to see if the wizard would be required but as they were failing to slow down the juggernaut it was time to roll out the big gun. For the second time this season vs Paul the wizard fluffed his lines, knocking down one out of five (though it was the ball carrier), and this left a risky play to bust the ball loose to try and get 2 TDs ahead. Luckily the rat's number nine wasn't concerned with the high risk dodges, pickup and pass and instead fell on his face dodging into the clear (with re-roll) right at the start, this way no-ones hopes got raised! It took the Apo just to keep him in the game! The equaliser was a formality after that.

Things were set up for a tough second half, numbers back to even, wizard spent and the dwarfs receiving, time for the rest of the Slashers team to step up! Instead the BZT dice exploded and by the time the rats started their first turn they were down to eight players. This continued and Craig celebrated his rise to Legendary status on the back of an easy stroll down the pitch as GBS were dismantled. The turn 8 score saw a single rat on the pitch, lying on his face a million miles from the ball, no contest.

Well played Paul, puts the mighty Bo in prime position to repeat (again!).
