First Blood goes to Darkelves!

(from the Midnight Sun  - CPI):
  
The Battle for the Bloodbowl is underway.  First week action saw the current incarnation of 
Apocalypse Drow defeat their High Elf brethren in a brutal opening day massacre 2-0.  The 
game started in a near white-out Blizzard, which proved to be pivotal, as a pre-kick thrown 
snowball pegged  and subsequently killed a flatfooted High Elf Lineman.  Capitalizing on the 
crowd assisted KIA , the Darkelves worked over the defensive line to great effect.By turn 
two, a Sentinel Catcher had also been killed, apparently -and this is completely 
unsubstantiated - by  a stab wound of all things! Another HE Blitzer went crowd surfing and 
the Darkelves ran a numbers advantage into easy score.

The Highelves took the ensuing kick, caged up, and pushed the ball over the line of 
scrimage.  Their spacing was too tight and they soon got bunched up along the sidelines.  
This led to a spectacular chain-reaction multiple shove, which resulted in the ball carrier 
getting a seat in the bandstand.  The ball was thrown in way downfield preventing both 
teams from scoring.
  
The Sentinels received the second half kick and were systematically  pushed further and  
further back  towards their own EZ by shear weight of numbers.  However, they held the ball 
for a staggering 6 turns before finally being overwhelmed by the Dark Tide.

Commentary from da Coach:Got numbers early, which translated into a fairly easy 
game of it.  Only missed really one roll all game, I snake-eyed a pickup that would have at 
least given one of us another chance at a score.  Tough on Jason though with two kills and 
another SI.  A good start for the team though, 9 of 11 players got on the board with some sort 
of SPPs.
