Clar Karond Corsairs vs Miami Rotters

So the second league game got under way with the Corsairs taking on the Rotters. The Rotters lived up to their name, taking every opportunity to comit acts of foul play. Even the referee seemed to take a blind eye to the events.

With the Corsairs receiving, they began to probe on the left to force an opening for their Blitzers. It did not go well. The Rotters managed to close them down on the sidelines and let the game descend into a slugging match. This favoured the Dwarfs.

Eventually the Corsairs managed to extricate themselves and move the ball to the right. Eventually utilising their speed advantage to get into the open field. It came at a cost with 5 Corsair players in the injury box.

It took them to the 8th turn to finally get into the endzone and take the lead. Thankfully the halftime recovery rolls went well and 4 players returned for the second half.

With the 2nd half underway, the Rotters brought the ball up field towards the left of their line. However the Corsairs managed to slip a couple of blitzers through the line. 

With the ball carrier isolated the Corsairs blitzed him, scattering the ball. Quickly picking it up they surged to the line for a 2-0 lead.

The remainder of the half saw the Rotters concentrating on taking out Corsair players, however the Referee (unfounded rumours of a half time visit from the Corsair Cheerleaders) decided to take action sending off 2 of the Rotters for foul play.

So the Corsairs off the mark with a hard fought 2-0 win, but on the wrong side of a 5-2 casualty count. Both sides counting the cost with players missing for their next game.
