Garrick and the Expendables 2(5) v 1(2) HumptyTrump and the Educated Rodents
HumptyTrump brought more fans, Skitter Stab-Stab and won the kickoff toss, electing to receive. The Kickoff result gifted Humpty an extra reroll and everything seemed to be going the Rodent's way.
A simple drive by the Skaven almost came unhinged when a Gutter Runner failed a dodge and the ball carrier was flattened by Sly the blitzing Ogre. The Expendables couldn't pick up the loose ball though and the Rodent's star Gutter Runner, Nourising swooped into the Ogre half cage, swept up the ball and screamed in for the opening score of the match.
On the restart, Ogre Arnie collected the ball and the Expendables proceeded to bash their way up the pitch, knocking 4 Skaven off the pitch and 2 of them out of the game. Eventually camping on the edge of the Rodent's end zone to let the clock run down for the first half. Almost a disaster as Big Savings danced into the Ogre cage and stripped the ball out of Arnie's over sized mits. The ball bounced straight into Ronnie's outstretched wee paws and the Ogres cleared a path for him so that he could saunter in for the equaliser as the half time whistle went.
Despite shocking bad luck in the first half HumptyTrump was still in contention with the score at Expendables 1(2) v 1(0) Educated Rodents at half time.
On the restart Arnie again collected the ball and benefiting from a depleted Skaven opposition plus continuing shocking dice the Expendables ground their way up the pitch and scored.
On the restart the Rodents were back up to 11 men and rookie Ogre Jean-Claude had foolishly set up in easy crowd surfing distance of Maurice, the Rodent's Rat Ogre. Could things finally be looking up for HumptyTrump and his Educated Rodents. NO. A failed dodge saw Jean-Claude remain on the pitch and another failed dodge saw the Expendables swarming the as yet untouched ball. A desperate passing play by the Skaven to retrieve the situation came predictably unstuck leaving Danny to run in once the Ogres had cleared a path and pick up the ball. Danny passed to Mickey who sprinted for the touch down only to trip over line and out of the game. There wasn't enough time on the clock for the Rodents to equalise so the game ended with the Expendables 2(5) v 1(2) the Educated Rodents.
Sometimes Nuffle doesn't smile on you, in this match Nuffle crapped all over HumptyTrump and he was handed the worst die rolls I have ever had the privilege to witness. Meanwhile the Expendables good fortune continues and they continue to be unbeaten with a W/D/L ratio of 5/2/0!

Garrick and the Expendables 1(4) v 0(3) LordGarlack and his Undead.
11,000 Undead fans marginally outnumbered the 10,000 Ogre fans that turned up despite the Pouring Rain. The Undead turned up with Hack Enslash and a Babe.
LordGarlack won the toss and due to the Pouring Rain elected to kick. Ogre Arnie the Expendables ball carrier of choice collected the slippery ball sweetly and proceeded to drive up the left wing as a couple of Snotlings were stretchered off. The Undead stonewalled that side of the pitch and the Expendables switched to the right hand wing but were expertly balked again by the Undead. As yet another Snotling was carried off the pitch, switching back to the left again Arnie managed to get within striking distance of the Undead end zone. A swarm of Ghouls stood in his way and it looked very unlikely that he would make it through when Ogre Rutger came to the rescue. Breaking away from the Undead marking him he blitzed the Ghoul marking Arnie, freeing Arnie up to try and sprint the ball into the end zone which he did magnificently. 1-0 to the Expendables.
The Undead gave the Expendables a kicking on the restart as the half time whistle went.
The Expendables kicked off the second half and the Ghoul Blodger tasked with picking up the ball fumbled it into another Ghoul’s hands. As half the Ogres kept the Mummys, Wights and Zombies occupied, Arnie hospitalised Hack Enslash. A failed dodge by a Ghoul opened up a blitzing opportunity for Ogre Dolph and he sacked the Ghoul carrying the ball. The Undead managed to retrieve it despite the weather and ran desperately up the left wing. Another failed dodge by a Ghoul allowed Rutger to blitz and flatten the blodging Ghoul carrying the ball as a scrum developed on the touchline with neither side able to pick up the wet ball as it bounced around and eventually the final whistle went.
The Expendables with a W/D/L ratio of 4/2/0 remain unbeaten!

OK That is five of us paid (Garrick, Sann, HumptyTrump, Loki and Vanguard)
Confirmed rooms are:
Garrick/HumptyTrump sharing Valen/Mrs Valen Loki/Sann sharing
Assuming that DonShula is in a single and Purdindas and JamesEs are sharing.
That leaves Goldeneye, LorGarlack and Vanguard to sort themselves out.
