    You free next Friday (8th November)?

  • Executors 1 - 1 Punch Suckers


    A brutal matchup between the two human teams was decided by lates scores at the end of each half, the matchup seeing 8 casualties, 3 knock-outs and a sending off.


    In a match of four halves the Suckers came out of the gate fastest injuring one Executors' guest star, Helmut Wulf and seeing the second, Heinrich von Duisgart, sent off inside the first four turns. Duisgart made an impact as he left, however, injuring a Suckers lineman. That signalled a swing in fortunes and the Executors ground the Suckers down (injuring and KO'ing a further 3 Suckers), which created just enough space for Prince Eddi to receive the hand-off and run in the touchdown.


    With only one turn left in the half it looked like the Suckers would just be causing some damage, then a riot turned the game clock back and almost gave them the chance to equalise.


    The second half saw the Executors maintain their dominance and by half-way through the second half had reduced the Suckers to 8 players. The game promptly swung back towards the Suckers with 2 casualties and a KO in one round and a further casualty and KO over the next two rounds. A last gasp intervention by a wizard causing the Suckers' thrower to drop the ball allowing Prince Eddi to pass it back downfield was ultimately in vain as the faster, and more numerous, Suckers quickly moved the ball back upfield for the last turn score.


    A fair result overall, but one which leaves the Executors relying on other results to go their way if they are to qualify for the knock-out stages.

  • As there are some important playoff-deciding games, the gameweek has been extended. Please play your remaining games as soon as possible so we can progress to the playoffs.


    Thanks chaps.
