Libertines Beat Tie Out of New Ork


Welcome back, football fans. Broadcasting from the Wizard's Keep Campus in Nettycut, we have all of the details on our most recent game. Following its gutty 2 - 2 battle against the Bloody Vikings!, the Slaaneshi Libertines returned to action in its second game against the New Ork Gimpee Limbz. A slow start to the game eventually yielded to a 1 - 1 nailbiter. Our sponsor for this game recap is the Orcland Gnaw Shop. "From hands to feet, the Orcland Gnaw Shop has all of the amputated limbs to meet your gnawing needs."

Before the game, the Gimpee Limbz defecated on the Slaaneshi midfield logo. Whether this was intentional or the result of bad beans, we don't know. New Ork won the toss and elected to receive in the first half. Play developed slowly as the Limbz bobbled the ball, bouncing it across their half of the field. On the line of scrimmage, the tone of the game was set early as Black Orc Blitzer brothers, Gluum Endoom and Gruum Endoom, began slugging it out with their Libertine Chaos Warrior equals. Moving up the right side, Limbz thrower, Flenger Faar tossed the ball to blitzer, Thum Upsnoz. With some linemen and blitzer help, Upsnoz took off, hugging the left sideline. Libertine beastmen quickly converged on the advancing orcs. After a few knockdowns that rattled the ball loose, Upsnoz recovered the ball and charged into the Libertine endzone.

From here, the rest of the game became a protracted melee. The Libertines' beastmen lowered their heads and used their horns to repeatedly attack the Limbz Black Orcs and blitzers. The first half ended with the Limbz up 1 - 0, but turning from green to purple because of the massive bruising given by the Libertines.

The second half resembled the end of the first half. As the second half wore on, the Libertines forced the ball into the Limbz half of the field. When asked about his team's strategy, Libertines' coach Cobol murmured several strange incantations. We believe them to be Slaanesh curses, largely due to the boils that began to appear on our faces, necks, arms, feet, backs and legs. None of the Libertines' beastmen were intelligible enough for interview. The chaos warriors simply frightened us too much.

With several Limbz players knocked out or badly injured, the Libertines' chaos warriors continued to sit the Black Orcs on the turf. Instead of the typical orc "Waagh!" battlecry, many of the Orcs were whimpering "Waaah!". A general scrum erupted near the Limbz goal line. With time expiring, the Libertines broke through the mass of green skin and grabbed the ball. Dodging out of the battling ballers, one of the Libertine beastmen dove into the endzone. The 1 - 1 final score punctuated the physical nature of this match and of this year's Bloodlust Football League.

When asked about the Orcs being "out toughed", blitzer Snotz M'kfawlee promptly killed our reporter. The New Ork coach refused interview, obviously angry over the end of the game. Highlighting the many Orc injuries, we have an updated injury report. Orc blitzers, Thum Upsnoz and Mawrio Killenums, have been diagnosed with niggling injuries. This could shorten their playing careers and makes them more susceptible to mortal injuries. When asked to comment on the many injuries from this match, BFL Commissioner Davesh stated, "May they die sooner than later. Praise Khorne."

See you next time, BFL fans!
