No-show Teams Fail to Spoil First Games

ERSENIL, AERLIG - The EMSL achieved a record attendance on Friday when two thirds of its member teams turned up for the first game of the new soccer season. As a result two proper matches were played and only four games were won on forfeits. Six of the teams that did turn up now share the lead of the league table with three points each, while the others are languishing at the bottom with none.

Last season's lyrical commentator Baruch O'Shaughnessy also failed to make an appearance, thus sharing the embarrassment of a no-show with the Baden Tigers, FC Attera Imperial, the Gotzborg Eagles and Redstar Bandera. EMSL Head Honcho Jouker Sendler reminded the teams that plays can be submitted for all the matches in advance, so the team managers have no excuses for failing to show up with their teams in time for each match.

This season's league has features 22 match days, plays every Friday and ends in the New Year. The results for the first match are as follows:

Trishuli Xtremes - 3, Adelwin Power - 1
Mayo Sportistinda - 3, FC Attera Imperial - 0
Baden Tigers - 0, The Dynamo - 3
Wizards SC Westmore - 5, Vayelon Firewolves - 3
Gotzborg Eagles - 0, DRAs Capitalist Shmazerz - 3
Redstar Bandera - 0, Halberd Harriers - 3

The league table stands thus:

1. Halberd Harriers - 3 points
2. DRAs Capitalist Shmazerz - 3 points
3. The Dynamo - 3 points
4. Mayo Sportistinda - 3 points
5. Wizards SC Westmore - 3 points
