“Bomrek Bomrekati and Western District meet for the first time as both teams came into the league for their very first outings. The pundits considered the teams evenly matched - 11 players each, no experience, some muscle on both sides and a play style that was probably similar - bashing, with a bit of running, if they felt like it.

But the game went to Zagrek Ekkon, bull centaur, for brutality; he roared onto the pitch, scattering the weaker beastmen and blitzing around causing havoc. Sadly, his ball skills didn't live up to the intimidation he offered. Colicchio broke through Bomrekati's line and ran for a late touchdown in the first half.

In the second half, the bruality continued, with Snodub meeting his death but swift retribution eked out upon Colicchio, who was also killed by a firm kick to the back of the head from Zagrek.

Western District, even if their centre field was in disarray, were not to give up. They drove down the flanks, keeping their distance from the dwarves of the centre, and clearing away hobgoblins who put up little resistance. Stealing the ball yet again, they paced towards the line. But at the last minute, they lost their nerve, as Zagrek stormed towards them, dropping the ball on the touch line no less. Final score, Bomrekati 0, District 1.”
