“The first game for the newly formed Harriers looked to be a bit of a cliff-hanger, with two rookie coaches pitting unfamiliar teams - speed vs. power - against each other.

In the end a combination of luck and a solid right hook (practiced by all the Harriers the night before) saw the the Harriers smash the rats into the turf on the way to a convincing victory.

Ever humble in victory, the Harrier coach was seen heading into the Skittering Skabs duggout after the match to pay final respects to Stocha, the slain Gutter Runner. When asked his feelings about the recently deceased player, the coach stated loudly that he had been "simply excellent" and "might have been better with a nice chilled chardonnay".”
