A true nail biter, which ended after eighteen turns with the High Flying Clouds winning on penalty kicks. (technically score was 4-4, but adjusted to 5-4 to reflect the W)

Minor Incident (Bone Breakers) -10k

The Pitch inflicted 1x BH (a Snotling tripped)

Meatheads had somehow insulted Nuffle before todays match as 7 sets of double skulls were inflicted upon the Chaos team, either that or Tzeentch was messing with the dice.

Bone Breakers treasury modifiers:
Minor Incident (-10k) (Probably from paying off the fans...)
Hiring a Riotous Rookie Journeyman who earned MVP (replaces #14; -15k)

Pouring rain gave way to a hurricane. The match was called early due to cataclysmic weather.

(The Longbows MVP went to their Journeyman for the match. The Journeyman was hired and re-numbered in the post-game.)

Misc SPP: Perfect Passing (Prayer to Nuffle)

A vicious match where the fans who were being riled up the Badlands Bruiser's temp agency cheerleader, were more invested in the game then the teams at times.  Fans rushing the pitch and chasing the ref around the field for a short time allowed the teams to get away with some sneaky moves.  However, even with the ref being distracted by the crowd he still caught the temporary journeyman for the Badland Bruisers, who we couldn't be bothered to learn his name, got caught trying to shank a downed Meatheads player and was ejected immediately.  The Meatheads seemed to be on Nuffle's good side today as the play steadily progressed in their favour allowing the to score 2 touchdowns in the first half.  In the dying minutes of the first half the Bruisers started to really get the fans involved by tossing numerous Meathead players into the stands!  Got the fans a little too riled up though as they once again started causing such a bad ruckus that the ref called a timeout but the time keeper didn't hear the whistle and kept the clock running causing the match to lose some play time.  With some urgence the Bruisers lived up to their name and started battering the reduced in number Meatheads, but just as the started to get field position a well timed blitz by one of the Meathead runners caused the ball to flying into the crowd.  The crowd leering on tossed it back but to the advantage of the Meatheads who ran it in for their third TD of the match.  After that the Meatheads braced and received a dreadful bashing from the Bruisers who tried one last gasp to reclaim some dignity by going for a goblin toss but their trained troll Gwyn, Lord of Cinder was still not up to speed on what was happening and stood their trying to understand the instructions the goblin was yelling about throwing him.  In the end the fans had a good time though they were not impressed by either team's overall performance so merchandise sales indicate that fan dedication to both teams did not seem to improve at all.  The Meatheads come out with the win but also battered and bruised as the Badland Bruisers lived up to their name.
