Season 2 has finally kicked off with a few games already completed. So far 3 of last season's teams have made an appearance. The Orkland Raidurz and Gryphon Bloodsox fought out a tough 0-0 in a heavy downpour. The LV Raiders were also hoping to pick up where they left off last season with a late charge into 3rd place against the Caroburg Chargers. Meanwhile The Tomb Army have quickly made their presence felt picking up back to back wins.
LV Raiders vs Caroburg Chargers 0-2
With 2 Human teams looking to get a good start to the season, it all came down to the dice rolls Unfortunately for the Raiders they were on the wrong side of the good rolls. 5 players picking up injuries including the loss of their star blitzer to a thunderous from the Charger's Ogre blocker Hrulk. Despite both sides being evenly matched, the loss of players began to expose gaps in the Raiders' defence from which they eventually succumbed to two scores. The Chargers meanwhile were over the moon with a solid start to the season.

Raiders hold onto the ball |
Starting the 2nd half with only 8 players really hampered the Raiders, losing another early in the 2nd half saw them concede a second touchdown. However they did gamely hold onto the ball to prevent the Chargers from securing a bonus point.
