“For a lot of teams, the new season brings new hope… but the OBBA is an unforgiving place and for an equal amount it brings yet another struggle. One team that is only too aware of this is the Premiership’s Real Sociedead. Following their recent pre-season five friendly defeat at the hands of Maharak Dead Boys Under 21's we caught up with Team Captain Karla Larburu to get his views on the game and the season ahead… who was surprisingly well spoken, if a little uncouth, for a flesh eating Ghoul.
Karla: I don’t know why the Coach selected the darn Dead Boys, I think it was due to having a similar team and a good following. I’m damn sure he didn’t select them because his fans were hooligans, or their players dirty fouling b@$1@7ds! Yet, that’s exactly what they are! Their hooligans invade the pitch immediately, decking me, then they dive all over me sticking in the boot and ruling me out of the game before I did a thing!
[Shakes head]
After that, the coach told Ion Txoperna Garcia this wasn’t the game he’d signed up for and to use his boot. He did and got sent off for his trouble, but the threat of retaliation was enough to curb anymore tomfoolery from them, though we did foul again when they started to stall on us.
Look, the game was over before it started in my worm wiggled mind. Our players were flying off the pitch, and we played the game short handed from the freaking get go. Sure, we made a mistake in the second half when our new youth team player, Xabier Prieto Argarate, wandered too close to a Mummy, but you have to expect this from a team forced to use inexperienced players. We’re happy the lad picked up his first TD though.
If this is a sign of things to come then we’re in big trouble. I’m having injury problems which ain’t helping but the coach is in negotiations with the big wigs about getting me a Magic potion, so maybe things will look up.
I think the draw will be paramount, if we pull Mummywell or Sartosa, we’re dead – again. If we pull the Elves or Rats they’ll score more than Coach Chewie does with his friends lasses!
I guess we want an ideal draw, Karaz-a-Karak United or a Dukeless Bristol Reavers. I’m also going to buy a lottery ticket!
As for coach Count_Von_Arseburger – he can suck my rancid… [End transmission]

What ensued, however, was nothing short of extraordinary and adds credence to the view that premiership money, power and wage slips cannot buy passion and drive from players.
This view point would certainly be apt for this game with Sociedead's performance flat and uninspiring. Players constantly limping off field for treatment. The occasional flash of flare and brilliance the only clues alluding to the teams Premiership status.
The charismatic Count was ever present at the sidelines shouting directions to the Dead Boys and it seemed his watchful eye paid off with the Dead Boys creating openings and opportunities with relative ease.
We caught up with the Count post match and he had these few words for us.
"Today was a great day for the boys, they proved that the unfortunate relegation from last season was a small slip on the road to greater things, we aim to join Sociedead in the Premiership one day. Not only did we take the game to them today, we also took the game from them, stronger, faster and with a real desire to win.
Unfortunately we have had a slight injury on Yaltha over exerting himself in the match but over all I think the Dead Boys have a very positive season ahead, we may even walk away with some silverware."
So there you have it, the Dead Boys pulling the rug out from under Sociedead and in some style too. There will be lots of eyes watching this teams progression this season.”
