Round four: Hongo Valley Wildflowers vs. Redskull Rascals

A brutal match-up has been promised with the boy orcs of the Redskull Rascals and the girl orcs from the Hongo Valley Wildflowers scheduled for game today!

As both sides take up their field positions, a crazed Redskull fan throws a huge rock from the sidelines, smashing the knee of Wildflower blocker Opuntia. Looks like it will never heal completely, poor sad thing. As she was being stretchered off, the Rascals kicks a short ball that lands right into the hands of the Wildflower blitzer Azaleas who dashes ahead into the Rascal’s line with the rest of her team mates.

In the ensuing melee, the Rascal troll Screefin pummels the Wildflower lineorc Camellia, badly hurting her, while the Wildflowers take revenge as the blocker Beebalm barrel into the Rascal blitzer Fordip, braking a couple of ribs. Looks like he won’t recover before the next game.

In the madness of the pushing around, several Rascals team up and smashed through Azaleas’ guards knocking her to the ground and bouncing the ball away into the hands of Ethmean, the Rascal thrower. Not extremely pleased, she immediately stands up and headbutts Ethmean, badly hurting him. Unfortunately the ball bounces into the crowd who gayfully tossed it back onto the pitch, over the heads of the two orc teams.

With both teams entangled on the left side of the field, and the ball all the way to the right, the Wildflower goblin, Aster manages to slip out, scoops up the ball, and ran all the way to the end zone. Score one for the Wildflowers in a very brutal drive.

It’s the Rascal’s turn to receive and they soon formed a cage around the ball carrier and slowly edges forward. The Wildflower surrounds the cage slowing their advance but unfortunately Aster the Wildflower goblin managed to end up next to Screefin, the Rascal’s troll and was killed in the stampede.

The Wildflowers manages to break the cage but not before the ball carrier runs off into safety. But it was too late to score and the half ends.

It seems the same mean spirited Redskull fan has not left as the second half starts with another rock the flew out and stuns Parsely the Wildflower thrower. The Rascals capitalized on the hole in the already depleated Wildflower line and pushes forward hard while the newly hired goblin Rancelot picks up the ball.

After a grueling scrum work, Rancelot manages to break free of the defending Wildflowers and speeds down to the Wildflower endzone, only to trip on his big toe at the last yard. The ball is then picked up by the Wildflower thrower Parsely who throws it to fellow blitzer Clover attempting to bring the ball as far from their endzone as possible.

However the outnumbered girls were not able succeed as the Rascals reclaimed the ball, and throws it down field to the waiting Rancelot who finally dashes once again towards the end zone. This time he makes it and scores the equalizer in the final moments of the second half, turning a loss into a draw.

Final score for the Hongo Valley Wildflowers was 1 touchdown and 2 casualties, earning them 2 league points.

Final score for the Redskull Rascals was 1 touchdown and 3 casualties, earning them 3 league points.
