“Our poor lads, desperately missing Lief on the field, had to stand up to these Treeschool Crew. Brutal, efficient, cruel, just what our team aspires to be.

Down in numbers quickly, even Clive had to be carried from the field, the bloodwiser babe given as an inducement was certainly worth it to rouse half the team from the head injury box, the magic of warm beer for short legs, and long ones today for Clive! The masterchef wasn't quite so distracting for their team as the last lot, if at all, one of the lads probably could have done better. Ah well.

Long story short, they were quick and strong on their feet, and our attempts to get more than one onto them for a fair contest at the ball just didn't happen. Mithing Deef had a horrible injury, but was saved by our apothecary, only to be further injured later, though it seems he'll recover. Frozen Shoulder was not so lucky. We're a lesser team for this encounter. Lief will be furious to have missed it, just the thing the for the next game. Hopefully not against Amazons!”
