"Welcome to COGSNET Sports, I'm Seb Stephenson. Coming up later, coverage of Sector J29M1's Razordisc finals, but first we go live to Spire DreadBall Arena, where an Exhibition game is in progress between the Whitesun Myrmidons and upcoming COGS DreadBall League contenders: Hastur's Hammers. Jennis Hillsworthy joins me now from pitchside. Jen?"
"Thanks Seb, and what a match it's been! Buzzcut himself has been playing, and Blasmet have agreed to release Big Mech for this match, all to help promote the upcoming league. Not only that, but I can now confirm that Number 88 is indeed on the pitch and playing for the Myrmidons. It has been a tense and high scoring game, with no fewer than five 3 or 4 point strikes and no small amount of drama. The Hammer's 'sticky' guard, whose name I am informed translates as "obstinate as the dry lakes of M'vee'kell'wan" has been struck by the ball on entry four times, and is now off the pitch nursing a serious headache. The Myrmidons missed a Rush when one of their strikers fumbled a pass, and even Buzzcut is on the bench following a crunching and possibly illegal slam from the Hammer's second 'hard' guard. But the standout player, it has to be said, is John Stuart Mill from the Myrmidons, with three big scores to his name, narrowly missing out on making it a landslide victory in the second Rush. He is off the pitch at the moment nursing some serious bruises, but he is definitely one to watch. The score stands at 1 point to the Myrmidons, with one rush each still to play, and here comes Number 88 to pick up the ball just inside the Hammer's half. Beautiful glove work! It's spotted Bertrand Russell in the deep strike zone. There goes the pass, and it's good...he's fumbled it! Russell has fumbled a perfectly good pass, and coach Humphreys will not be pleased about that.
And here come the Hammers, they only need one score to draw even, a two-point strike will win the game for them. A third striker is coming on - that's three strikers on the pitch for the Hammers. They are taking positions down the length of the pitch - this could be a textbook Nameless long-passing play here. First striker picks up the ball, and it's good. He makes the long pass to half way, all striker two has to do is catch it....and it's another fumble! Two fumbles in the last phase, and after so much excellent play from both team's strikers all game. A one-point victory to the Myrmidons, and they are already celebrating.
Folks, if the games are this nail biting when the season starts for real I am going to need open-heart surgery. Back to you, Seb."
"Thanks Jen. Well the season starts in less than a month, so please stay tuned to COGSNET for full coverage."
