Defending AD Blood Bowl league champion Revengers' Tragedy had made a slow start to the season but the win in week three against the Revenue Stealers may just have been the boost that the squad needed to recover their position atop the league pecking order. The Principals have made a reasonable start to the season but will have been disappointed to have only drawn with the Hotspur Hacks when in a good position to win last time out.

The game proved to be somewhat one-sided. The Principals struggled to move the football against the Tragedy's aggressive defence and they weren't helped by key slips that halted their drive from players who found themselves in unaccustomed positions in the formation. The Tragedy turned the first offensive drive over thanks to good scouting, Wood Elf Lineman Penn being the beneficiary when Principals Wight Jonny Gloom was unable to bring the Elf down right at the endzone. The beneficiary the second time in the half was reining rookie of the year Holden Webster who turned a stalled Principals drive into the team's second score just before the break. Tragedy were equally dominant in the blocking game, picking up four casualties in the first half including star man Wood Elf Catcher Rudolf Nureyev.

The second half was more of the same. Tragedy's offensive prowess was in evidence with a fairly quick score from Gutter Runner Kyle backed up by further casualties though the Principals did manage to get their hands on Skaven Thrower Tor, badly hurting him. Another couple of casualties led up to a final Tragedy score through Skaven Marti to wrap up a comprehensive victory and a warning to the rest of the league that Revengers' Tragedy are still a real force to be reckoned with.

Amazon Thrower Mina Murray missed the game with a pre-existing niggling injury. Lineman Hacksaw Jim Duggan will miss next week's fixture against The Panzerbourne and will struggle handling the ball for a couple of games after that thanks to a broken hand inflicted by Tragedy Lineman Larry. Norse Thrower Skipper has a 40% chance of making next week's game after picking up shin splints.

Tragedy thrower Tor's lack of a completion snapped a 12 game regular season streak in which he had completed at least one pass.
