Only three obstacles stood in their way – the first of which were the Redback Shitbeaks.
GAME FOUR
Green Glade Hackers Vs. The Redback Shitbeaks
Skaven. Let’s face it, who really enjoys playing against the Skaven? They’re sneaky, they’re fast, they smell and the play dirty.
In fact, they play so dirty that almost immediately after kick-off, poor Athelan the Wild was being carried off the pitch!
After that, the first half was a galling and dreadful run of Skaven touchdowns, thanks to their fiendishly annoying Gutter Runners. Try as we might, we simply couldn’t stop them scoring (or get them off the pitch!!).
As consolation, we managed to scrape back two touchdowns in the second half, thanks to Stark-Elm the Reckless, but not before losing our catcher, Twister Pine-Cone to yet more nefarious Skaven antics.
FINAL SCORE
Green Glade Hackers 4-2 The Redback Shitbeaks
GAME FIVE
Green Glade Hackers Vs. The Grinning Moons
This game was a real crowd-pleaser, especially for the Hackers fans!
We knew from the start that this was going to be a dirty game, even as we heard the Goblin team’s chainsaw spluttering to life.
The danger was short-lived though as Stormwind, The Golden Tornado brilliantly assessed the impending gore-fest and cut it short by swiftly dispatching the chainsaw-wielding greenskin.
The Moons were left reeling by this and ‘Zipper’ Hare-Foot took full advantage by scoring his first touchdown of the tournament during their disarray.
That is not to say our casualty toll wasn’t tremendously high though, losing ‘Bloody Luckless’ Luthien, Athelan the Wild, ‘Thoroughly Dubious’ Duran and (most embarrassingly) Stark-Elm the Reckless to Goblin assaults.
In total, we only managed to inflict three casualties in return, but then we weren’t fielding the ‘special equipment’ that the cheating Goblins had managed to sneak onto the pitch.
In the end, they managed two touchdowns thanks to a couple of their players being launched down the pitch, but they couldn’t match our tally.
FINAL SCORE
Green Glade Hackers 4-2 The Grinning Moons
GAME SIX
Green Glade Hackers Vs. Middenheim Mustangs
The final game of this tournament was somewhat marred by disaster, almost from the start. Perhaps we were misled by our underestimation of the Human team. After all, they were relatively tough, but not as quick or agile as us. They certainly weren’t as hardy as a Norse team and our Treeman was more than a match for their Ogre. However, our Elvish arrogance proved to be our undoing.
The match started off well enough when Twister Pine-Cone danced through the Mustang line to score an effortless touchdown, but that’s where our good fortune ended.
In a cruel twist of fate, Stark-Elm the Reckless suffered a game-ending injury when he tripped and fell while breaking away from one of the Mustangs.
‘Zipper’ Hare-Foot followed him off the pitch soon after, smashed down by the sheer force of a vicious tackle.
Suffering a two-player deficit, we conceded a touchdown just before half-time, forced by the sheer strength, and the relentlessness of, the Mustangs’ pressing attack.
The second half brought more misery after Twister Pine-Cone was launched mercilessly off the pitch into the arms of the Mustangs’ fans. His game was immediately over, and it is at this moment uncertain whether he will be able to play Blood Bowl again. Or walk, for that matter.
Treeman, ‘The Outrageous’ Girth, missed most of the half after an extremely large rock was launched at kick-off – hitting him across the head and knocking him senseless.
Without his protection, most of the Hackers were knocked face-down into the dirt as the Mustangs simply walked down the length of the pitch to score their winning touchdown right on the full-time whistle.
FINAL SCORE
Green Glade Hackers 1-2 Middenheim Mustangs
