“The Fox Meadows Saga

Season 3 A Fox in the Hen house

Chapter 1 Nut crackers

The Mad heads arrive for season 3 in a hell of a state. For those who haven't followed the sagas. Season 2 saw them fall at the first hurdle in the Wobbly Boot. This was mostly due to a shadowy figure throwing a brutal rock at Fox Meadows giving our hero a damaged back and ruling him out for the start of the season. Missing the start of the season is something of a habit. Anyway we cut into Harold and Fox talking............ [Que Music]

"Fox have you seen this" Harold shouts spluttering his sausage roll over his copy of the Blackwater Bugel.

"I have told you" Fox was feeling even less patient with his saw back it had seemed for ever since he threw a football. "Don't read that damn rag."

"But Fox the Bugel says we won't finish last it reckons there are worse teams than us!"

"What?"

This was indeed a revelation The Madheads had been dead last each year and their form was nothing short of awful.

"Let me see that." Fox said starting to reach over then wincing in pain.

Harold scurried over with the paper. Folding the page over to show Fox. It was there in Black and White it read. "The Madheads will avoid the Spoon this year despite Fox Meadows best efforts to stuff things up".

Fox and Harold looked at each other. Maybe this is the season they both thought.

Out the gate was atough game against the shambling Undead side the Tronoto Agronutz.

Watching them warm up, so to speak, the squad couldn't help but feel sick the zombie figure of their old Troll slayer Grifter Gibbletstorm hobbling about the pitch. It was too much for Briskett who ran crying into the dug out and would play no part in the game.

Luckily for the Madheads Magoo managed to pick up a mercenary Ogre who had been hanging around the stadium.

Fox settled in to watch the game.

Though predictably Travis Hotwing exited play not quite as fast as debutante Herbert Humpledink who was escorted out of the casualty box and to the retirement home.

The Argonuts took the lead despite Douglas Puddingstone trying to recreate a Fox Meadows training field unfortunately Gogonfar Icehand fumbled the ball.

The second half started with another deep kick from Pecan and the Madheads scurried to pick up the ball and quickly got it down the far wing. The ball went loose but some fine foot work from Gogonfar Icehand saw them cross the chalk.

The Madheads rallied to hold the Nutz off and take the draw

Maybe this is our season is our time thought Fox to himself staring at the crumpled paper on the floor!
