Round 4 of the tournament saw my skavens face the dwarves once again, and they suffered a heavy defeat.
While I was able to score a touchdown in the first half, I was unable to stop the dwarves from equalising soon afterwards.
In the second half the dwarves scored a second touchdown. I started the fourth drive with only seven players, three having been killed and a fourth only narrowly escaping death thanks to the apothecary. I ran a Gutter runner deep into the dwarven half of the field, and held my thrower (who had possession of the ball) deep in my own half, hoping to do a last-turn pass and touchdown.
But he wasn't far back enough. Two dwarven runners charged my thrower, knocked him down, and one of them took possession of the ball and scored a third point for the dwarves.
This was a costly defeat for my team which will see me having to employ several journeymen the next game. At this point the dwarves have secured a place in the finals, and my skavens are struggling with the other two teams for a place. I will likely have to win the two remaining games in the preliminary round to qualify, and at the rate of casualty I am taking now, it will not be easy.
At the end of the fourth game, the standing is as follows:
Kazak Killers: 12
Badland Brawlers: 7
Skavenholme Scallywags: 4
Middenheim Marauders: 0
