Black Tooth Tribe 19/4 - 08

The day promised much with the sun shining bright on the green turf at Boby Park.

The Black Tooth Tribe kicked off with Buccaneers resident dark elf, Ruyker Bloodrose, deftly picking up the bouncing ball. As Ruyker looked for players to pass to he became so entranced with the indescribable carnage being wrought on the line of scrimmage that he didn't notice the green blur of Igor Gauntlet Runner thundering towards him. Down went Ruyker and away went the ball. Igor was too caught up in stomping on the unconcious Ruyker to notice the desperate Buccaneers players blitzing him from behind. Down went Igor and the ball was in Buccaneers hands again. The game had turned into Black Tooth Tribe's advantage though, and it wasn't long till they were celebrating their first touchdown of the game. The rest of the half finished in a great bloodbath with Buccaneers the worse for wear.

Next half started lively with the Tooths stampeding down the picth in search of a second touchdown. They soon had it and was quick in forming a defence in eager anticipation of the ensuing fight.
The Buccaneers had a different plan. A born of desperation. One Ogre's desperation, that is. Gronk Slaughterface, having felt harshly judged by the ref on several occasions on the day, picked up a thing at hand and threw it at the opposing team in frustration. Away went the puzzled goblin, Reeker Badbreath, flying towards the end zone, carrying the ball and trying to get his feet under him. He landed in a flurry of movement and was up and running for his life away from the screaming 7ft. tall green monsters charging after him. 1-2. The Buccaneers were back in it.

This turn of the game left the Tooth's clearly baffled and they soon lost the ball in the Buccaneers half. The ball was quickly passed to Reeker who was promtply thrown up-field by a stupidly grinning Gronk. The gods of fate didn't smile on Reeker though and Gronks stray throw pitted him into the path of a mad orc. Reeker couldn't keep his balance and dropped to the ground in a heap of flailing arms and legs, the ball bouncing into Black Tooth hands. The whistle went soon after and the Buccaneers were left ruing what could have been the perfect comeback, but turned out to be just another letdown. A letdown full of new potential, though.

Better luck next time Buccaneers!
