    Viper Queens (Amazons)Bits of Bob (Necro)
    Python Thrower2 x Werewolves: Hornbill and Tony both with Block
    Piranha Warrior BlitzerWraith with Tackle (random)
    2x Jaguar Blockers, Harriet and Sally, both with BlockGhoul
    3x Eagle warrior linewomen3 x zombie linemen. KKK with Steady Footing (random)

    The game started with pouring rain and the Amazons choosing to receive. The crowd were wild with anticipation of the newly arrived Viper Queens.

    Early on Tony the Werewolf stuns a blocker!
    Disaster strikes for the linewoman as she takes herself down with the Zombie but at least he’s KO’d
    The wraith takes down the thrower who thought she could sneak past of the left hand side
    Hornbill KO’s the Jaguar
    The thrower fails a 1 die on the wraith, and El Graucho realises his coaching was way off in his decision

    The first half ends 0-0, despite the pressure the Bits of bob hold strong.

    Kick off for the second half ready!
    Wait – she needs to go to the loo following a dodgy Groggs Roll
    Hornbill also suffered although he battled on.

    Amazons down to 5 against 7 players.

    The ghoul is stunned after positioning himself to be blocked but the ball is dropped unhelpfully into an open space.
    The Jaguar fails on a 2 die block against a zombie. Skulls!
    Revenge as a lineman is KO’d by the Jaguar

    El Golfo tries to sneak in a dodgy regeneration roll which is noticed by El Graucho as “not in the rules” and the roll is reluctantly squashed.

    It looks like it’s going to be a 0-0 draw but the Vipers try one last Girls Own attempt to score.

    Last turn – what will happen? Can there be a touchdown?
    A blitz is required to clear the way for the Jaguar to get to the endzone…
    2 rushes and she’s in position
    The linewoman jumps up and dashes to pick up the ball. Success on a 4+
    It’s going to require a 6 on the throw! Oh my word! It’s landing in the Jaguar’s square!
    OMG – she’s caught it. It’s 1-0 to the Vipers!

    Unbelievable play! Simply unbelievable! That goes into the hall of fame as a play.

    The end brings out the ladies dancing on the pitch (calm down El Golfo!) as the Vipers beat the Bits of Bob 1-0 in a nail-biter.

    The next game is Viper Queens vs Fangs for the memories. Due to fading light the game is played in a rush so the ladies don’t have time to change.

    Viper Queens (Amazons)Fangs for the memories (Vamps)
    Python Thrower1 Thrower with Block
    Piranha Warrior Blitzer1 Runner
    2x Jaguar Blockers, Harriet and Sally, both with Block1 Vargheist (with Pro)
    3x Eagle warrior linewomen4 Thralls

    Good weather as the teams run out to set up, with the sneaky refs get a pay-off by both teams to get a bribe each.

    Typical start of picking up the ball and rolling a 1.
    The Vipers boosted by the last game, step it up and target the thralls. KO’d
    Casualty.
    Carrying on with targeting the thralls another ends up on the sideline
    Where’s he gone?
    There he is – The unhappy crowd giving him a good thumping
    Down three thralls, the Amazons walk into the endzone
    On the restart the crowd, now blood thirsty, invade the pitch and stunning three from Fangs. It’s going to take courage to plough on
    A fantastic team talk shows some brilliant coaching by El Golfo, giving Fangs a reroll
    Weary of being in the Vargheist’s range the Vipers hang back.
    Not afraid of hitting a woman the Vipers take out the runner.
    This just gives the thrower the strength to blast through the Viper’s line, dodging through tackle zones. He gets to the endzone and waves the ball at the Vipers but the showing off is his downfall, literally, as the turfmonster gets him.
    A jaguar KO’s another thrall.
    The throw manages to pick the ball up from beside the thrower and dodge out to relative safety.
    The thrower manages to push himself out of the endzone

    The ladies attempt to dazzle the Varg by surrounding it.

    Feeling cocky the Jaguar attempts a 2 die block to push the thrower into the crowd but he’s not having any of it. Jag down!
    The Varg is in his own world as he’s lost his shit as he pushes a linewoman into the crowd.
    The thrower joins in by injuring another
    But it’s too little too late as the Amazon thrower strolls into the endzone.

    2-0 to the Vipers in an enthralling game… or should that be de-thralling game…ha ha.

    It was a good pair of games.

    Tri wizard tournament 28-10-2025 – game 3

    Date 28/10/2025

    Location: Los dos hombres – londres

    As the night started to pitch in, food and refreshments were taken before the final push to complete the tournament in our new favourite venue.

    Line-ups:

    The Gilded Sparrows

    3 Linemen

    1 Thrower (Colin)

    2 Blitzers

    1 Ogre (Andru)

    Bits of Bob

    2 Werewolves (Wolfy and Whistler)

    3 Zombies

    1 Flesh Gollum

    1 Wraith (Bedsheet)

    First Half

    The Necros kicked off, and the kick-off event was ‘Brilliant coaching’ El G gets a re roll ( He later tries to get this upgraded to one per half but was fortunately kept in check and had it limited to just the 1!!)

    Blitzer Keef drops ball, and El G tries to move the Ogre by flying 6 spaces !!! (he will no doubt blame the beer!!)

    I go to the bar and both werewolves end up in the bin ! I will need the fans to phone in with photo evidence to document what happened, suffice to say El G was off to a good start

    And then the Flesh Gollum is dead dead two 6s twice And super dead as it fails its regeneration, El Golfo is inconsolable as he lays him to rest straight into his cardboard box and calls for extra sellotape to seal the sarcophagus.

    This death is marked down as a confirmed kill for Keef the blitzer I believe

    1-0 to the Imperials as Colin the Thrower finally crosses he line with El G dragging out the torment!!

    The Necros to receive and as if he hadn’t already had enough luck, El G get another   Kick off event in his favour , Cheering fans!! This grants the Imperials a prayer from nuffle, a Stiletto for Colin who can now stab at will !!

    The Ball bounces into the end zone so it  ends up with the werewolf (wolfy)

    El golf turn 6 of first half Blitzes werewolf gets a skull and falls over

    Second Half

    El Golfo’s turn 2  pushes the werewolf up the pitch push back imperial linemen but they have fend so no following up on a push.

    The Werewolf carrier (whistler) gets knocked down by thrower, but Andru the Ogre rolls double skulls and falls over ‘d’oh!!’

    El Golfo sensing blood goes for his very first foul using the dispensable zombie, but with no offensive assists (check those rules) it fails and Andru’s skull remains intact unlike when a goblin bruiser tried this back in the summer tournament in the mighty ham of buck!

    The tide turns quickly and with a Werewolf down v lineman,  turn 3 for El G leads his Blitzer to run for the line and with no-one to oppose him, he strolls in for 2-0, that’s a wrap as they almost call for last orders

    FInal Note

    Blitzer Keef (if it can be confirmed) has to go down as a truly intimidating foe, so much that he made the undead dead and so scared they failed to regenerate!!!

    Tri wizard tournament 28/10/2025 – game 2

    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 !!
