“First half, everything went the Monkees' way - Bomber was firing on all cylinders, Helmut was revved up, and the missing three Rat Ogres didn't seem to affect things too much. Wheezy ran it in for a 8th turn score after we put Swift in the hospital for a week, and then we braced ourselves for the second half.

I figured we wouldn't put up much resistance, get a quick equaliser and then try to catch up, but somehow the superior strength of Wheezy meant we got the ball out and halfway across the pitch, and then sneaked a late score to cement things 2-0. The mice are still totally confused, as they don't remember ever getting this far in a tournament before. Is 2022 the Year Of The Rat?”
