“Mummywell FC 0 - 1 Real Sociedead

For the past three seasons the game against Mummywell and Real Sociedead had resulted in draws, the score line had become as predictable as a conversation with Russo in a sausage factory. Indeed, were it not for the usual kill count the fans would have long forgone this particular fixture. For Real Sociedead a victory against their most notorious adversaries was as elusive as Chewie has become!

Grand expectations of a well formed team and a season without elves however allowed Real to dare dream of victory this day!

Coach SeraphimRed, armed with an oversized playbook (reportedly stolen from the Oval Ball camp prior to their mysterious disappearance) and good friend the Count led the Sociedead team to the pitch to greet the Mummywell side.

Receiving, Sociedead met Skellybob with Mummy on the LOS – disappointingly only felling one due to a poor planned attack. Coach SeraphimRed tore that setup from his Big Book O’Plays (never to be spoke of again). This was however proceeded by a blitz that KO’d one of Mummywell’s DPs.


Mummywell led to one side of the pitch and immediately began to excerpt control over the area, trying to take out Real’s DPs. SeraphimRed consulted his Big Book O’Plays for several minutes then shifted the ball to the opposite flank and systematically began removing skeletons from the field as Mummywell struggled to keep up with the body count... both teams however enjoyed a generous spell of regeneration.

Real held the ball up long enough to see the half out before scoring.


Mummywell’s drive saw the agile contingent of the team take to the field. The Real wall formed, trying its best to hold the line against the horde. Mummywell prudently formed their cage to protect against the ever present Count but as they struggled to break the wall the more mistakes the players began to make.
Once again the Big Book O’Plays was consulted and the Count was directed to bedazzle a mummy, only for him to idiotically get in the way of the blitz, Real had to console themselves with tying up the ball carrier.
Now desperate, Mummywell charged in to break a hole but did not fully account for the strength of Real who quickly cut their blitzer down... the game was over. Real swarmed the ball and for good measure removed a couple more of the Mummywell players.

Real Sociedead now sit atop of the Premiership with 6pts! Premiership title here they come!

Grit came into this expecting to lose given the teams and I was happy to hand it to him. He tried to meta me earlier with flattery about my player pics and how handsome I looked... but I wasn’t about to go easy on the most brutal team in the league!

Scoring was never an issue it was always going to be preventing the Mummywell team from doing the same, but this time strength was on my side so I’d hoped Grit would be on the receiving end of the cas dice! (No one was)

Forming a good cage Grit seemed to be moving dangerously forward without exposing much. Fortunately, Grit blew a RR or two early and in a turn of inattentiveness (no doubt due to a couple of my long turns) threw it away on some 1d blocks.

GG Grit. ;)
