Roos cool their Burning Sensation The Old World Classic Kangaroos have finished the regular season with 7 wins from regular season matches after overcoming the Burning Sensation. The Burning Sensation hired a couple of helpful staff in Papa Skullbones and a wizard. The Roos started the match receiving the ball, and from the start, it seemed like they didn’t have their heads in the game. As the first half progressed, the Roos constantly found themselves under pressure from the Sensation and stumbling to try recover the ball, let alone stop the Sensation from their progress. It wasn’t long before the Sensation scored and finished the first half with the unexpected lead. As the game entered the second half, the Roos found themselves up against it with their Ogre injured and their star thrower Knocked Out. But up against it, the Roos found themselves playing a bit smarter and sticking their moves better than the first half. With more grit and determination, it wasn’t long before they turned the ball over and dashing down the field to score midway through the second half. With their heads back in the game, the Roos were determined to push for the win and got a Blitz from the next kick off to put themselves in a position to pressure the Sensation. By this point the Roos were clear with their intentions and were starting to injure more Sensation players to give themselves further advantage. Soon they had turned the ball over and were in position to get the go ahead TD. And seeing that trying to grind the final moments might not work, scored when the opportunity arose to push out to a 2-1 lead. From here, another Blitz from the next kick off ensure the Sensation wouldn’t get a chance at a levelling TD. The Roos now await the results of the final matches in the regular season to see who they will play in the Quarter Finals of the WCL Championship.

Kangaroos are Heralds of victory In their latest match, the Old World Classic Kangaroos took on the first of the Chaos Dwarf teams they’ll play in a little run, the Heralds of Hashut. As the more experienced team, it wasn’t surprising for the Roos to see a star player hired to play against them, and in this game, it was one of the biggest and meanest stars of them all, Morg’n’Thorg. The Roos were the first to receive and they had a simple plan to begin the match, get rid of the big guys, both Morgs and a Minotaur make for an intimidating protect. Once they knocked one of them down, a foul was an obvious move. It wasn’t long before both of them were Knocked Out and the Roos were in a comfortable numbers advantage. As the half progressed, the Roos found it super easy to break armour, even against the Chaos Dwarf Blockers with their Iron Hard Skin, but they couldn’t get past their Thick Skulls to get them off the pitch. As the first half came to an end, the only casualties were a Hobgoblin and a Bull Centaur that went surfing into the crowd. But with the control they had, they scored the go ahead TD. As the second half started, the Roos had a numbers advantage, but it wasn’t long before the Heralds knocked a few Roos out and even saw a Roo sent off. So when an opportunity opened up for them to level the score, they took it immediately. Thankfully for the Roos, all the knocked out players returned and they again had a numbers advantage. With plenty of time on the clock, the Roos pushed down the field and when the Heralds thought they saw a crack, the Roos closed it and punished the Heralds quickly in return. By the end of the game, Morg was pushed into the crowd, where he decided to stay and sign autographs and the other Bull Centaur was injury from a crowd surf also. The Roos had easily secured a comfortable walk in TD to get themselves the 2-1 win, and with the victory, were the first team to definitely lock themselves in for the finals to have a chance at the WCL championship.

Roos thump Raiders down The Old World Classic Kangaroos found themselves in another rematch from opponents from their first season when they took on the Slavers Bay Raiders in a rematch of the 3rd Place Playoff. Both teams were closely matched in terms of team value for this game, but in terms of form the Roos had the better of that this season. And it showed early. The Roos kicked off to the Raiders, and whilst the Raiders were able to control the ball nicely, the Roos made sure they put pressure on them not to make any mistakes, but they also were in a violent mood, removing 3 Raiders players in the first quarter of the game. Before the pressure got too much, the Raiders were able to sneak in a TD and try switch the pressure straight back onto the Roos. The Roos tried to use their numbers advantage to get some quick movement down the field, but the Raiders were tenacious and were able to stop the Roos from scoring by surrounding the ball after it was thrown in by the crowd. The Roos started the second half in strong fashion again. Unrelenting with getting Raiders players off the pitch and keen to score early to put themselves in with a chance win the game. And score early they did. With the momentum well and truely on their side, they got a Blitz of the next kick off and managed to put the pressure on the Raiders before they even got the ball. Whilst the Raiders never gave up, it was only forlorn hope they had left when the Roos soon recovered the ball and just kept themselves in a position to hold on until the dying moments of the game to score the winning TD. The Roos won 2-1, again beating the Raiders, potentially scuppering their finals aspirations, whilst putting themselves firmly in position to make another run at the title.

Roos don’t Rata the rats The Old World Classic Kangaroos have delivered their most violent performance of the season after playing Hijos De Rata in their round 4 win. It was the second time playing De Rata in team history and the Roos were out to make it a better performance than their first encounter and showed that from the very first block, causing a casualty straight away. With a strong start, the Roos kept up the power blocking and basically ground De Rata into the ground as much as possible, leaving only 1 rat on the pitch before scoring their first TD. De Rata were able to get a few players back on the pitch for the second half. And they went about trying to exact some revenge, getting a few casualties of their own. As they tried to make a break and score a levelling TD, the Roos were able to sweep across and stop the break. Again De Rata weren’t going to just throw in the towel and harried the Roos continually as the Roos slowly moved the ball down the field. Just before the final sounded, the Roos scored their second TD, to go with the 7 casualties they caused, it was a strong victory. It wasn’t all plain sailing though and the Roos will be missing a couple Blitzers in their next match.
