Hello Blood Bowl fans. The Arundel Archers started their rookie year off with a disappointing 4-1 defeat to the Uzkulak Overlords last Saturday night. The fans came out in droves in the much anticipated debut of the elves. Dinendal Narmolanya, Captain for the elves, said in an interview prior to the game that the team has "trained long and hard and is ready for the first game."
Unfortunately for Arundel the fans at the home stadium of Uzkulak greeted the aspiring elves by invading the pitch on the opening kickoff. Welcome to the league Arundel!
The Overlords scored early in the first period and this was answered quite quickly by a score from Ereinion Luinwe.
During the scoring drive Aerandir Mithrandir blocked Shuruppak Sha Hatti so hard that Shuruppak was taken off the field on a stretcher. He did not move an inch until he arrived in the Overlords locker room. There the team apothecary snapped him out of his mini coma and Shuruppak was able to watch the last bit of the second period.
The second period looked promising for Arundel being level at half but the Bull Centaurs Gilgamesh and Enkidu Sanu started to beat down the lightly armoured elves. Enkidu scored 2 of his scores late in second period to squash any hopes of the elves making a come back.
Stay tuned next week to see how these elves recover from their first week defeat.
