The Heads got back at DD after their defeat in the round of 16 last season, but it was a quite uneventfull match with only 2 non permanent casualties and 3 TDs.
The only player on DD who really was detemined today, was Geleb Reanimated who playerd like an iron man, although he took some serious beatings.
It all went wrong for DD in the very first turn as Ramses the 5th was KOed. This was equaled when Argos KOed Hanzz, and the ref was conviced by Necromancer Kynde that he should not be thrown out. A few turns later the unluck did however continue for DD, as a double one saw the other mummy Ra fall on a go for it instead of taking the intended blitz on Tearr A'Parte. This left the ball carying ghoul The Green Ghost ungarded. He was the only Ghoul on pitch as Eata Corpus had missed his niggling. (So had the almost one turner Magnuz Tagmuz but the apot. had helped him to join in the game)
However, The Green Ghost managed to stay on his feet after he was blitzed, but could feel the mist of tentacled Tearr A'Parte's breath down his neck. The Rat Ogre was, however, smacked down and some more rats were also cleared away. Then the Ghoul took a chance, (it would only take 3+, 2+, 2+ 2+ to score with dodge on the first 3 or 2 and also a RR), but on the first 2+ a double 1 (the second in 2 turns) saw him go down. It was, however, not over yet, as a pass from Red Eyezz was not caught (another double 1 this time by Headz). But in the end it did not help DD as a double 2 on the pick up when 3+ was needed saw the ball on the ground. And soon another pass by Red Eyezz was caught and Imgonna MakeyaFeelNasty ran out of reach and scored for 0-1 in turn 6.
DD had a slim chance to make a tieing TD, and in the halfs last turn after Ra SI Mickey. A completion by The Green Ghost gave Lex Liche a chance to score, but only the first of two 4+ dodges worked, and he were down. As the rats had beaten up the ref after the first TD, they were not afraid of fouling Lex Liche KOed before the half ended.
Second half saw both mummies back, but only for a turn, then Ra was KOed. And it only took Heads 3 turns to make it 0-2 by Zpeedy Gonzales'dangudiz'. And neither the KOed mummy or zombie Xorn who had been BH by Squiil'A came back on pitch.
Two quick KOs evened the number of players for DD, and then a few lucky strikes helped DD on the way: First a foul by Magnuz Tagmuz, that did not even break Ramses the 5th's armour (+5 on the AV roll!) , was spotted by the reg who sent the little critter of pitch along with his enraged head coach :D Second Hanzz knocked down The Green Ghost without breaking his armour even with his claws out. Hence the Ghoul could get up again and thus made his second completion (learning Sure Hands). And in the next and final turn Lex Liche, who had caught the ball, could decrease the score to 1-2.
Neither teams FF changed, and 60 k vs 40 k was earned.
Both teams were quite unlucky with their dices, but in the end, DD was the most unlucky, and Headz took a fairly sure victory home.
