#11 Joe Hurler – Smashed Hip (-MA)
#12 Danny 'Boy' Vydra – Dead (RIP)
“The Carlton players were fired as they took the field for their debut game in the prestigious Southern Waste Premier League.
Choosing to receive, they quickly scored their first Touchdown with a minimum of fuss. Excited by this early sign of future success, Mr. Swan called the boys into a huddle so as to shower them with his praises.
"Come on now, Git yourself over here Dannyboy!", he yelled to the young lineman who had decided to remain lying face down on the pitch rather than join his comrades. "We gonna have to play again in a bit!"
Sadly for Dannyboy, for his team, and for his mother, he would not be playing again in a bit... or ever again. Danny 'Boy' Vydra had been ruthlessly slain by the wicked Blue Mountain Blitzer, Vladim Oslobahn.
Soldiering on without him, it still lokked as though something could be gained from it all at half time as the teams retired with one Touchdown apiece.
Caspar Custings, however, would not take the field in the second half, as he could barely stand after a savage block received earlier. Compounding the United woes, Joe Hurler was soon after sent to the bench with a broken leg.
With most of the Carlton players incapacitated, they were forced to play most of the second half with 6 or less players. Battling heroically, they were still forced to concede two further Touchdowns.
With only minutes left, the United fans finally decided to take a hand in this debacle, and flooded onto the field, assaulting the Norsemen viciously. With the numbers now 30,006 against 11, there was nothing the Dragons could do to stop Chucky Nigglefish from scoring.
Small consolation for United. With a reduced squad, they will be lucky to compete in their Round 2 matchup against the Gentlemen.”

Victorious, home of the Blue Mountain Dragons who were to entertain the
human side from Carlton in the deep south in front of 48,000 fans.
Both teams looking to get off to a good start as the initial game is generally make or break if you wish to go far in the league. Carlton won
the toss and elected to receive and after a reasonable start, they scored
in the end a comfortable TD to the Bazman. Unfortunately, the celebrations
of the Carlton team and staff were cut short when it was discovered that
promising rookie Danny Vydra was prone back on the United quarterline.
Despite best efforts to resusitate him, he was pronounced dead much to the
delight of the rampaging Norse fans in the crowd. First game and first
kill to the Norseman... who apparently were not to concerned at conceding
the first TD.
Play recommenced after a momentary pause, and the death of Vydra had sent
the United team into a state of disbelief whilst the Dragons seemed
inspired. This inspired play led to a series of heavy blows being struck
down the middle of the United line before Vladim Oslobahn burst through for
a moral sapping TD. Oslobahn, taunting the United bench with a horrendous
rendition of "Danny Boy" whooped it up and sent the sides in to the sheds
level on the scoreboard, but with a distinct psychological (psychopathic?)
advantage.
Receiving the kickoff for the 2nd half, the Norseman again hammered the
stoic, but overwhelmed United line and scored again through their captain
Heinrick Stormblade. Finding themselves behind on both the scoreboard and
the casualty list things looked grim for United, but they rallied bravely
but briefly. An onside kick saw the ball precariously placed just behind
the line of scrimmage and given they were short on numbers, the United
players could not keep the ball out of the clutches of Spring Woodson who
scampered towards the endzone...
Some desperate defence momentarily tripped Woodson up, but with Norse
Blitzers Oslobahn and Stormblade mopping up the little resistance, lineman
Wenty Falz picked the ball up and strolled in. 3-1 deep in the 2nd half and
the Norseman were celebrating!
But the United fans had had a gutful and as the somewhat disrespectful
Norseman took to the field against only 6 or 7 Carlton players, the fans
took matters into their own hands by storming the pitch. The end result
was that half the Dragon team was stunned down their right flank and Chucky
Nigglefish was able to score down the vacant lot that was the Dragon
backfield right on the bell.
3-2 the final score, and whilst the Norseman were mildly upset about the
fan "intervention" they soon forgot their troubles as the ales were broken
out and shared with their noble opponents.
Next week, the Dragons host the Zen Adepts who were winners also on opening
day... should be a cracker!
