This is Howwurd Cozell....siss...reporting for the Draco-Lizardman Times. The crowd of 21,000 boo'ed tonight's teams from the field. The Warpstone Munchers and the New Ork Gimpee Limbz...siss...played to a 1 - 1 tie in torrential downpours that soaked the field and caused flooding that delayed the game for several hours during the second half. Hiss. The crowd demanded no excuses, though. One anonymous vampire...siss...fan said, "I vanted keeling...lots an lots uv keeling. Blood. More Blood. Ah ah ha."
The Skaven Munchers took the opening drive in the first half and advanced the ball deep into Limbz territory. Hiss. The Orcs converged on the Skaven ball carriers, scattering them to claim the ball. In the pouring rain...siss...neither side could grab the bouncing ball. After breaking through the line of scrimmage, the Squint Brother line rats tackled the Orc blitzers, freeing runner Sneaker Sneak. Free to run, Sneak collected the ball and dove into the endzone. Hiss...giving the Munchers the 1 - 0 lead.
The Orcs were unable to move the ball during the remainder of the half...hiss. The Limbz chose to beat the Munchers as ferociously as possible. Several Skaven were carried from the field before the half. At the half, the Limbz were seen celebrating the numerous casualties that they had inflicted. Hiss.
When asked about second half strategy, Black Orc Blocker Gruum Endoom exclaimed, "Smash dem. Smash dem good." Upon receiving the ball during the second half kickoff, the Orcs tried to advance the ball up the right side. They were immediately met by skitter skattering Skaven. Despite the rain, the Orcs attempted to pass the ball to the middle of the field. The pass attempt...siss...was broken up. The ball went bounding towards the left sideline and Skaven blitzers. Black Orc Gluum Endoom, line orc Krag Bonez and blitzer Mawrio Killenums charged into the Muncher bunch. Hiss. The ball popped loose, and for several minutes...siss...it bounced between several players that could not grab it. Finally, the Limbz beat down the Muncher playes, and line orc Krag Bonez picked up the ball, charging for the goal line. Waagh went for the endzone and...siss...made it. Touchdown Limbz. 1 - 1.
There were only a few minutes left in the game, but the referee called the game due to heavy flooding. This gave both teams time....hiss...to try to recover their injured and unconscious players. After the rain let up, the Limbz kicked off to the Munchers. The Munchers grabbed the ball and moved down the left side of the field. On the Munchers' pass attempt, the Gutter Runner receiver dropped the ball. It bounced towards the Munchers' endzone. The Limbz formed a gigantic wall at the line of scrimmage...siss. The Limbz clearly wanted several pounds of rat flesh. To no avail, both blocker and blocked hit the pitch. The Munchers returned the favor, doing the same. The rain and mud so fatigued both teams....hiss...that both team collapsed in the mud.
Both teams trudged from the pitch, tied 1 - 1 for the game. Fans booing could be heard...hiss...as far as Heighgart. Will fan backlash result in less turnout for each team? The Limbz have already taken a hit from lost ticket sales...siss...because of their last tie to the Slaaneshi Libertines. Both the Limbz and the Munchers may lose gold because of the ending for this game.....Hiss.
This is Howwurd Cozell....hiss...reporting from New Ork. Hiss. Stay tuned for more...siss....BFL coverage. Hiss.
