Semi Finals: Hongo Valley Wildflowers vs. Bearded Ladies

Its the semi finals and the Orcess turned out in force to support the wildflowers in their bid for the chaos cup!

The orcs won the toss and elected to receive but obviously the crowd disagreed with the situation and started a riot. While the pitch officials brought them back into order the referees restarted the match.

Despite some heavy punching, the Wildflowers never made it across the centre line with the ball. The brutal Bearded Ladies however managed to KO two of the Wildflower blitzers who spent the rest of the game licking their wounds. Then a sudden push against the weakened orc line saw the dwarven blitzer BukBard sacking the ball and try for a score. But this was quickly put to an end by the wildflowers captain Ratama who reclaimed the ball and spent the rest of the half defending it, all chance of scoring lost.

And with that, the half drew to an end with the dwarves venting their fustration. Nargs the slayer pushed the orc blocker Mustard into the crowd who amazingly emerged unharmed, and the dwarf in reserve settled for a bit of vandalism.

The second half started much more differently with the crowd's cheering going out of control, bring both team's spirit up. The dwarves went for a many sided offense, using the majority of the team's strength to push through the right, while Forbrinmin snuck through on the left. Seeing the potential danger in the lone dwarf running amuck in their back field, Wildflowers captain Ratama lead a strike force with Ficus the goblin and Parsley the thrower to ganged up and overpowered the lone dwarf, who had to be stretchered off. Despite no permenant injury, she won't be playing for the rest of the game.

After dealing with the pesky dwarf, Ratama and gang went back to reinforce the line against dwarven push down the right side. However the Beared Ladies still managed to wedge a tiny corridor open and Amanbar pumped her little legs like she has never pumped them before, dashing all out and scoring a touch down bringing the Bearded Ladies into the lead.

In the remaining minutes of the game, the wildflowers thrower Parsley picked up the kicked ball and running back forward, completed a pass to the blitzer Azaleas. She then dashed down the holes ridden dwarven defense to aim for an equaliser. As the dwarves realised the danger, they sped up and covered her as much as they could. The wildflowers tried to pull more players down the dwarven field to clear a path for their striker to score but a slip by the new blocker Vervain broke the momentum of the team and the clock ended.

A one nil victory for the Bearded Ladies securing their place in the Chaos Cup final.

MVP for the Bearded Ladies went to Bukbard, who managed to provide the best entertainment of the game by falling flat on her face after throwing two 1s on a go for it.

MVP for the Wildflowers went to the new lineorc Dewberry who handled herself adequately among her more skilled teamate, gamefully standing on the line of skirmage and getting beaten up.
