In the CBBBL Premier Division, my Undead team were sitting in 4th place and still had two games to play, the first of these was against my friend Darren and his Skaven team, the Skittersneak Skidmarks. We were at very close TV so there were no inducements. My main worry was that he had a Blodging Gutter Runner who was also MV10 and with Sprint. I needed a draw at the minimum to ensure I would make the playoffs although a win would have been nice to give me a chance of winning the league.
It was a really good close game and the Skaven turned me over in the first half quite easily. I brought it back to 1-1 before halftime but was expecting his one-turn TD machine to take the lead. Thankfully I managed to roll a Perfect Defence kickoff result which ended with me surrounding the Gutter Runner to block him.
In the 2nd half, Darren's Skaven did what Skaven do and scored again pretty quickly which gave me a chance to push up the field. I was hurting a few of his players and did my best to foul his one-turner but to no avail. I eventually opted to go for the draw by stalling out until the end. We finished on a 2-2 score which meant the Skaven couldn't qualify for the playoffs and I was assured a place.
A really close fun game. It's been ages since I last played a game against Darren and I've missed it - he's a great opponent.
My Undead have one more game left in the league vs Lizardmen which is going to take place next week. If I can win it well I stand a chance of going 2nd in the league. This would mean a much easier game in the playoffs so well worth trying for.
