Guild Ball (#51): BonesCon 2018 Match 5: Shark vs Obulus

The last match of the tournament is against Eleonora, who is playing for the Swiss WTC team. I go for a pure scoring team with Shark. Salt is a pretty good ball carrier here, since his kick is a very short 4". It's hard for Obulus to get the ball of him reliably.

Round 1

Obulus kicks off.


Shark: 6, Salt: 1, Greyscales: 1Hag: 1, Sakana: 1, Siren: 3


Siren has 3 so that I have the possibility of getting the ball back if it gets stolen.

I get the ball over to Salt. Sakana gets pulled in by Obulus. Shark is able to get the first goal. 4-0 to the Fishermen!

Round 2

Shark: 6, Salt: 1, Greyscales: 4, Hag: 1, Sakana: 1, Siren: 1

There is a lot of ball killing and general milling about. No-one scores anything.

Round 3

Shark: 6, Salt: 1, Greyscales: 4, Hag: 0, Sakana: 0, Siren: 3

Greyscales gets the second goal. Both Sakana and Shark are taken out, those Morticians hit pretty hard! Memory scores. It's an even 8-8!

Round 4

Shark: 6, Salt: 1, Greyscales: 4, Hag: 0, Sakana: 0, Siren: 3

I get the ball off Brainpan, and kick it up the field. Greyscales grabs it and gets his second goal of the match!

The match ends 12-8 to the Fishermen, pretty close game! The tournament is over, I place 7th out of 25 players, which I am very happy with!
