Goddamned lack of edit function in G&C...
I apologise in advance for iffy picture quality, not sure if it's the screenshots lacking a filter or something.

The Clean Cup Field
First Half
Palelabor Kicking
First match of their illustrious career. What legends would be told of this day in generations to come? Truly legends are the least these fine dwarves deserve.
The referee's whistle blew, and UC Booties kicked the ball. The Palelabor Pickaxes then showed what they were made of! Without even waiting for the ball to cross the line, they immediately started wading into the thick of it.
Kuja launched straight into the Skaven right wing, flattening a Gutter Runner. Across the line the Pickaxes advanced, smashing their lightly armoured opponents into the ground.
This advance meant that by the time the ball had actually landed from the kick off, they had already pushed beyond it. UC Booties ran up behind and scooped up the same ball he had kicked down field! He then stuck to the edge of the field, protected by his fellow dwarves.
Not giving up so easily, the Skaven threw a hasty defence in front of the dwarven charge. Were the dwarves to pay for their headlong maneuver?
HELLS NO.
The one thing Blood Bowl fans like to see more than players beating on each other is to get the opportunity to do it themselves! A few gentle shoves from the dwarven team and two of the Skaven players were set upon by the fans!
UCBooties crosses the line with the ball!
First Half
Palelabor Kicking
The fans weren't content just to bash the two Skaven players who'd been knocked off field, so another Skaven player fell victim to the ire of the crowd - a thrown rock from the stands took one out before the next kickoff.
This kickoff was more conventional. Palelabor kicked the ball into the opposition's half, then the Skaven team grabbed the ball and prepared for their offensive. One Gutter Runner slipped through the Dwarven lines to end up in their backfield. This could be a major problem for the team if left unchecked as he could easily recieve a pass from the Skaven Thrower and then score a quick touchdown.
Not if Ford Prefect could help it. He and UCBooties teamed up and took the Gutter Runner down, the impact actually killing the ratkin outright.
An enormous melee then broke out, Troll Slayer Starglider delivering frenzied retribution ably assisted my too many Blockers to name individually, while Kuja threatened the Skaven ball carrier.
This so scared the Razorclaws player so much he headed back to the middle of the field.
Where he met GROINSTAB BALLCRUSHER.
In a bad way.
KAPOW. LIGHTS OUT.
Ford Prefect happily wandered over to get the now-loose ball.
WHOOPS. Didn't want that ball anyway.
A Skaven player then attacked Ford Prefect, but the headbutt knocked them both out. When he got back on his feet he went for the ball again.
He barely manages to pick it up. It's spikey and probably slick with blood, so let's cut him a little slack. Also, half time was called at this point. His fumble cost him and the team a touchdown.
Look at that injury box. The Skaven team is in a world of hurt, and it is only going to get worse.
