DOGCGBL Week 2: And then there were two!

After two weeks of play the Brewers and Union remain undefeated, but not without their trials in this young season; here is the roundup for week 2:

Engineers 0 Butchers 12
Goals: Brisket (1); Take Outs: Meathook (2), Boiler (1), Ox (1)

Butchers visit the Engineers and quiet the crowd! Meathook had two take outs, while Boiler and Ox both had one and Brisket sealed the deal with a goal! Those Butchers avenged their loss against the Union but the Engineers couldn’t keep their momentum going from their nail-biter against the Fish. Butchers get the road win to get their firs win of the season.

Union 12 Morticians 0
Goals: Mist (1); Take Outs: Rage (3), Decimate (1)

The Gravediggers visited the Mercenaries in a grudge match to settle some scores!! Blackhearts crew came to play with an early take out by Rage who expunged Ghast and shortly thereafter Decimate dispatched Dirge. This lead to some early ball control for the Morticians but it mattered not as Gutter pulled in Casket which ended in another take out by Rage. After a quick icy sponge Ghast came right back into the middle of the action and knocked down Gutter and Decimate which allowed Silence to take advantage, he Tucked Decimate and Shut Out Gutter. Things looked good for the Morticians with Obulus dribbling up the middle and Bonesaw open for the volley, but he missed!!!! The ball careened back into the middle to be taken by Mist who quickly scored. To finish Rage took advantage of the distraction down field and took out Ghast for the second time and the win.

Fishermen 12 Alchemists 4
Goals: Shark (3), Midas (1)

Alchemists visit the Fish but were held down by the tidal wave of Shark! Shark opened up the scoring on the first turn leading to a goal from Midas in the second turn. Shark responded quickly, got the ball right back up the field and scored for the second time; this time catching the Alchemists In The Net! Calculus got the ball off the goal kick but was Lured in by Siren and Kraken took advantage of it to knock her down. Greyscales picked up the loose ball, passed it to Shark who missed the snapshot!! Not to worry for the Fish fans, they won the initiative on the following turn and Shark made up for his miss by scoring his third goal; the game winner.

Brewers 14 Masons 8
Goals: Friday (2), Mallet (1); Take Outs: Mallet (2), Stoker (2), Spigot (1)

The Masons visit the Brewery to try to take down the hometown heroes as both teams rolled in on winning streaks and both look to capitalize on their momentum. The Brewers started with the ball but they seemed to be drunk as they missed a few passes but eventually Friday got her liquor under control and scored. She then stole the goal kick back from Tower on the second turn but missed the goal! Mallett capitalized and put her into the dirt. Flint picked up the loose ball, brought it up the field trying to use Tapper as a momentum builder but Tapper had none of that and disallowed the goal. Spigot and Tapper then combined to take Flint down, and shortly thereafter Stoker then took out Marbles who was trying to help out Flint. The Masons would not go quietly though as Mallett avenged his monkey friend by taking out that sneaky cat Scum. Friday collected the ball after Flint’s demise and came into score but missed again! This left the demoralized striker in range of Honor and Friday was taken out once again. Mallett, after collecting the loose ball from Flint, brought it up the empty left flank and scored; meanwhile Stoker lit Brick on fire and who eventually succumbed to the burning. Tapper collected the goal kick, beat on Honour then passed to an open Friday who was finally able to land the game winner!

DOGCGBL Week 1: Masons, and Brewers, and Engineers, oh my!

In the opening week of the Dark Omen Guild Ball League we saw the stars rise to the top, and an exciting start to the season. Here are the box scores and summaries:

Butchers 8 Union 12
Goals: Mist (1); Take Outs: Gutter (4), Ox (3), Shank (1)

In the most exciting (and bloodiest) contest of the week, the Butchers and Union traded 8 take outs before it was all said and done! Gutter had his team out to an early lead with two quick take outs, before Ox evened the tally by taking out Rage and the opposing captain Blackheart. However after Meathook failed to take out Mist, this left her free to score. On the following turn Blackheart returned to the pitch to take out Boiler, just before he was taken out by Ox a second time, then Gutter closed the game by taking out Meathook; nobody left this one unscathed.

Fishermen 10 Engineers 12
Goals: Jac (1), Shark (1), Colossus (1), Hoist (1), Take Outs: Kraken (1), Gutter (1), Ballista (1)

The Engineers win in a stunner in the opening week, as they mounted a comeback after being down to two early scores by Jac and Shark. The the Engineers responded by putting a flurry of shots on goal with Hoist and Colossus connecting to even the tally before Ballista took out Salt to win the game.

Brewers 12 Morticians 8
Goals: Friday (2), Tapper (1), Obulus (1), Bonesaw (1)

In an unexpectedly mild contest this one was a defensive struggle that ended in rapid exchange of goals in the last five minutes of the game where Friday took over scoring two of the games goals over the final few moments to end the contest in victory for the Brewers.

Masons 14 Alchemists 8
Goals: Midas (2), Flint (1), Mallet (1), Tower (1); Take Outs: Honour (1)

Masons put on a team effort with three different players scoring goals, in stark contrast to the one man show that was the Alchemists lead by Midas. Flint had his team out to an early lead with a goal, Midas responded by taking the rock down to the opposing goal but missed on the opportunity. Tower took advantage of the miss by giving his team an 8-0 lead on the follow up score. Calculous took the goal kick but was quickly taken out by Honour; however Midas was not going down with out a fight. He redeemed himself by taking the pig bladder from one end to the other and scoring, then stealing the ball on the opening possession of the next turn to bring his team within 2 and and within a goal of winning. However the comeback fell short when Compound lost the ball to Mallet who went on to score the game winner.
