Week 1 Review

The KUBBL 5 season is fully underway!  Last evenings games had their fair share of scoring and carnage.

In the Game of the Week, last season’s runner-up, the Swamp Dwellers, were able to defeat the dark elves of The GrymmLurke Lads.  Rookie rat ogre, Fever, earned his salary by racking up 2 casualties in his first game.  Unleaded was the offensive threat we’ve all anticipated scoring 2 of the teams 3 touchdowns.  Mr. Zeke scored twice for the Lads but it wasn’t enough. Dwellers 3 Lads 2

In a game featuring multi-champion coaches with new teams, the Glade Runners traveled to Doomsville to challenge the Robots.  The Robots welcomed the Runners to town by knocking them off of the pitch in high numbers.  The two teams tied in score at 2 but the Robots took the casualty score 6-1.

A battle between two returning also-rans from last season met in the jungles of Lethal as the frogs hosted the Khorne Red Backs.  The game was highlighted by the squishy sound of frog armor breaking.  The R’Backs racked up 7 casualties but multiple, multiple stuns. The Frogs were able to succeed just enough to end the game in a tie, 2 – 2.

In the final game of week 1, the Detroit Devastators took their show on the road to play the Cantina Killers.  The Killers were able to take advantage of a timely Blitz! to start the ball rolling for them. One bull was enough as the Killers won 3 – 0.

Coach Beaux was the only player to get his bets in and he was 1-1 so no one took any bounty money.
