The Great Old Ones get Dwarfed!

   The Storming Ironhides pull off a savage win against The Great Old Ones in a match that almost went
into overtime.  After winning the toss the dwarves received (the first kick went out of bounds) and
did a seven turn grind to get their first touchdown, not allowing their agile opponents a chance to
retaliate during the first half.  Despite the Ironhides conducting a 'blitz' during the second half
kickoff, the elves managed to break free and tie by turn two of the half; at a small cost to
themselves.  Both teams 'got the Ref' when the elves kicked off.  The Ironhides decimated the elves
to get a score by turn eight, a majority of the elves seven casualties occurred during this drive. 
The Old Ones, with only five players left, still managed to break through the line and get the ball
in scoring positions despite a 'perfect defense'.  Despite Scutts Deluge Of Despair, Grim Ironjaw
managed to do the go for its to blitz the ball carrier into the hospital.
   The two kills were done by the Freebooters, and Grim took out Tueren Redvenom twice (the crowd
was nice the first time but not the second).  The second kill was boxcars for the armor, boxcars for
the casualty, and a six for the Seagurds roll (that makes up for half of my rerolls being used to
recover from double skulls).
