Pre season II

As the club approached the start of our Blood Bowl league, we had another round of pre-season  games. Three teams got their pre-seasons under way. The Orkland Raiderz took on the Elder Suns, Clar Karond Corsairs went up against the LV Raiders and the Tir na Nog Ravens against the Renegades.

Clar Karond Corsairs vs LV Raiders 2-1

The Corsiars got off to a flying start in this game, quickly gathering the ball and attacking down the right flank. The speed of the move seemed to take the Raiders by surprised and they quickly found themselves a touchdown behind. From the re-start, things didn't get much better for the Raiders as they failed to gather the ball. Corsair players quickly swarmed across the line of scrummage, putting 2 Raiders players in the injured box. The Corsair blitzers, quickly dashed in, scooping up the ball before moving in for their second score.

At least at the next re-start the Raiders managed to get their hands on the ball. Quickly putting a protective corden around the ball carrier, they slowly made their way forward. Despite Corsair players dodging in they failed to majorly disrupt the Raiders, Who then finished off the a great move and pass for o ne of their Blitzers to move in for the touchdown, their first of the pre-season.

Tir Na Nog Ravens vs Renegades 1-0

This was a brutal game which saw a number of Ravens players sent to the treatment rooms. Their lack of armour was their undoing. However they did manage the only score of the game and hung on desperatly for the win.

Elder Suns vs Orkland Raiderz 1-1

The opening exchanges of the game were a steep learning curve for the Raiderz. The lightning speed of their opponents was proving difficult to contain and quickly resulted in them conceding the first score. However once the Raiderz managed to get the ball, they reverted to tried and tested tactics of slowly trundling upfield, keeping th Suns players at bay. However as the line got closer things began to get a little bit more difficult, but the dancing feet of a Raiderz player managed to get into space before handing off to a teammate who scrambled over the line on the last turn.

So another 3 games under the belts. We have a couple more planned for next week then the players will submit their teams ready for the big kick off.
