After some liquid refreshment, the hazy Jaipur and ginger beers were going down well, all was ready for game 2 of the tournament, RWW was unchanged and ready to roll, a bit of a grudge match against the tricky and unpredictable Necro
Line-ups:
Rolando and the Warpstone Whiskers
2 gutter runners (both skilled up with block)
3 Clanrat linemen (including wrestler Larry)
1 Rat Ogre (Rolando)
Bits of Bob
2 Werewolves (Wolfy and Whistler)
3 Zombies
1 Flesh Gollum
1 Wraith
First Half
The Necros kicked off, hoping to land the ball on Rolando’s head but it fell nicely between the big man and his well spaced-out line rats (no-one wanted to feel Rolando’s hanger (it was getting close to teatime!!)
Word of caution, the cameraman was onto his 2nd pint of hazy Jaipur (you might begin to work out how aptly named this refreshing beverage was!!)
The rats picked up the ball nicely and got into their smooth rolling machine, Rolando looking on waiting to pounce on any undead that looked at him funny!!
Soon the rat machine had spun round the meagre Necro defence, leaving just a lone werewolf to stop the speedy pair from scoring, even Blitzer Bob managed to keep up with them.
Wolfy went down like a sack of spuds leaving Sidestep Steve to rush in another score.
Top scorer in the league so far , :), I may have to rename him Erling (if the Yetihad reopens for business!!)
El Golfo was left pondering about chatting to the barmaid,
1-0 to the mighty rats, whilst Sidestep Steve did his victory lap!!
The Necro dusted themselves down, put back bits and bobs and thrust towards the endzone like a pack of hungry wolves,
Suddenly the Skaven realized Rolando wouldn’t have the speed to get back and it was left to the gutters to cover the end zone (these guys get around a bit!!)
I can only apologize for the shoddy camera work, but I’m sure there was some El G related moaning in my ear!
Suffice to say the rats didn’t take proper precautions and the sneaky wolves snuck around the defense to level up at 1-1
Second Half
The second half kicked off and the camera man had a break and a kit –kat.
Rolando got back in the action and laid out the Flesh Gollum (he wasn’t on good form at this tournament). Steve dropped the ball but El Golfo’s luck ran out, and the rats eventually picked up the ball after dropping it 5 scoring squares from the end zone and scored in turn 5, to take a decisive 2-1 victory
El G doing his best two Ronnies impression, and much better camera work from steady cam man Keef 2-1 finish
Final note
The rats prepare to pick up reliable Rolando, proof that big guys can do what they’re told and be team players for the greater cause !!
