“The Fox Meadows Saga- Season 3 A Fox in the Hen House

Chapter 5(?)A trip to the Morg

"Right who is on the schedule today Harold."

Harold sat in his chair drooling the unrelenting blow to his body in the previous game had took the spark out his eye and he had said barely a word since the incident.

"Pie....." said Harold his voice trailing off.

"Oh of course." Fox ran to the buffet next door and grabbed a handful of savouries.

He returned and Harold quickly stuffed them in his mouth though still saying "Pie..." and pointing.

Sure enough on the ground there was the schedule where he was pointing. Fox had a look. Written on the schedule it showed the opponents The Pie Crust Killers.

The Pie Crust killers were a new package in the league and the training field was buoyant with murmours of a walk over and even Old Red or the Ginger Bullet as he was nicknamed was saying how he was looking forward to handing out a beating.

Fox had doubts in his mind it had seemed like forever since he was on the Paddock and his back though not slowing him down anymore certianily he could still feel the shooting pain.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Righto boys this is it time to shine yer hear me" Spat 'Madhead' Magoo the ever positive yet bewildering. "Thump erm hard and then thump erm again!"

The squad went tearing out on to the field "Oh and Fox."

"Yes"

"Just try and aviod Morg would you!"

Morg thought Fox Morg! Fox had grown up watching Morg on the cabal he never thought he would face him in real life. This certianily put a stutter in his step.

The mad heads set up in defnce and reluctanly Douglas Puddingstone was pushed into the line of scrimmage to face off against the two tree men and Morg. The Trees started pounding into the the front line, but it was Bertie "The Basketcase" Jawbreaker drawing first blood taking out a fling. In the back field Hotwing capitalised on a failure to pick up the ball. In his usual show boating inexplicably he refused to cross the line for a touchdown instead playing to the crowd.

"Just score it!" Shouted Fox who had his hands full with a barrage of halflings being thrown at his feet.

Out of nowhere an unknown Halfling pounded Hotwing into the ground and stole the ball they bundled it up the pitch for a quick score.

"Right" screamed Maggo "Time for the Ginger Bullet you know what to do Red, lets give them a taste of their own medicine.

Red Nodded and ran on to the pitch. Fox easily gathered the kick and handed it to Red. Vim picked up the halfling and then ten steps behind the play as usual. simply dropped him on his head. The end of the game for Red and the end of the Half.

"Right ok lets go for the classic Fox play this time we can count on you Fox cant we!"

"Damn straight I won't let you down". Magoo.

Again Barrilete and Hotwing charged up the field with the lumbering Icehand in hobbling pursuit.

Fox leapt on the ball only to see to his Horror Morg 'n' Thorg charging up the field to pound him. Panicking he threw the ball at him hoping the Ogre would be shocked Morg was an old had and the game though and this simply made him more angry. Fox was taken off on the stretcher but Snarls the team Apocerathy was quick to patch the star back up.

2-0 it was looking hopeless. This time though the play went the way of the Madheads and Fox spun out an impecible pass to Hotwing for him to cross the chalk. 2-1 there was life in the game still.

The Mad heads quickly set up on the defence and Barrilete managed to turn over the ball and Fox quickly regathered it. Rushing forward looking for that elusive pass. Unfortunately there was only Vim up the field and little time to cross the line himself. The full time whistle blew.
