The week four game at Mutiny Island brought the Fabienettes to town, still looking for their first ever point against the Mutineers in their 7th attempt having won comfortably against Casus Belli in week three. The Mutineers continued their tight competition against the Mugaz last week, recording a 0-0 scoreline for the first time.
Taking the opening kick-off, the Mutineers controlled the first half almost entirely despite finding trouble deep in Fabienettes territory when Savogand Thrall the High Elf Blitzer managed to fumble the ball a couple of times on contact with defenders. The Mutineers were able to keep the drive going on both occasions due to sheer weight of numbers in the right place at the right time. Thrall even held onto the ball just outside of the endzone for a while to allow Goblin Fester Rustblade to slip in and take the hand-off for the score right at the end of the half.
The visitors were having trouble moving the ball in the second period, Wood Elf Thrower Fabino bobbling away an attempted pass, and Wardancer Fabio only managing to lose a rushing yard before being tackled by Wight Blitzer Toxix. Despite the difficulty in the rushing game, the Fabienettes did begin to out-block their opposition. Having traded casualties one apiece in the first half, the Fabienettes inflicted three without return during the second. It was the running game that decided the result in the end, as the visitors were never able to recover possession and Amazon Blitzer Boa Dicea, the Mutineers all-time top scorer, crossed the line ahead of the full-time whistle.
The Fabienettes ended up with just 7 rushing and total yards in the entire game. Savogand Thrall has now carried the ball 50 times in his career. Toxix has knocked the deceased Mr Wildman of the Wildmen from the all-time top ten most blocks list.
For the Mutineers, Alien Lineman Terrell Knowings missed the match having picked up a disclocated shoulder in the game against the Mugaz, while Chaos Dwarf Zzharg Zzhargson was a late scratch having succumbed to a niggling injury. Lineman Ernesto Boost will miss the week five clash with the Darkstalkers having suffered a muscle pull in his revving arm.
