The Beasts weren't looking forward to a first game match against Orcs, and the result was telling.
The Beasts' drive in the first half was stalled by a costly mistake by ball carrier Beastmane, as well as some bone-crunching hits by UOTE that left the Mighty Gororor lying in reserves regenerating all half, and a horrible injury to Beastmane, who will miss BoD's first league game. Though the half ended 0-0, things weren't looking good for the Beasts.
UOTE took over in the second half, scoring on a punishing drive resulting in a short riot between fans of both teams. Once the game got back underway, the orcs managed to beat the buzzer with a late TD, scoring on a turnover by the Beasts. Gororor started the half standing around, not sure if should be helping the orcs or the beastmen, but once he figured it out, he started knocking orcs around, not hurting anyone, but he did manage to lead all players in blocks.
A good game played by the orcish team. The Beasts are hoping for a better showing in their first league game, likely relegated to the Conference division, but looking to prove themselves worthy during the season.
