Another match, another chainsaw-wielding maniac with an elf to grind!
The Hackers took to the field once more with a sense of growing trepidation. Someone was out to get them. They were certain of it. Was it their imagination, or was that the same Amazon whispering into the ear of the humans’ star player that was in the crowd last game?
No, surely not...
Despite a second loss in as many games, the Hackers showed more form against the U Knows than in their previous defeat.
Sporting no less than three Journeymen (or elves) this time, they weren’t short of fodder to throw at Helmut Wulf and his elf-churning secret weapon. Miraculously, despite managing to bribe his way back onto the pitch after the U Knows’ first touchdown, Wulf only managed to kill one of the Journeymen before their second touchdown consigned him to the sidelines.
The Hackers trailed by two touchdowns at half time, and they knew it would take something pretty special to conjure a win in the second half. Unfortunately, though tantalizingly close, the magic never quite happened. A non-existent defence meant that although the Hackers scrambled three touchdowns in the second half, they allowed the U Knows to steal another two in return.
One fan was so angry at yet another poor performance from the wood elves that he lobbed a rock with shocking accuracy and force at Athelan the Wild, almost killing him were it not for the skill of the team’s all-too-active apothecary.
In the end, the U Knows played with some tremendous skill and, with their exceedingly agile catcher, managed to out-elf the elves and beat them at their own game.
Meanwhile, with the final game of the season next week, the Hackers sadly have nothing left to play for but pride as the face ‘Stick It To The Man’, the league’s only Amazon team.
AMAZON!?
Wait a minute...
