Blah resorts to witchcraft

Balka Juniors XV manager LukeFM thought he was being really clever all those years ago when he constructed his masterplan. 'Just have one keeper' he thought. 'He'll get loads of DV' he thought.

The club managed to survive without sole keeper Fausto Benavent in dramatic fashion last season, however yet another red cross injury to Balka's number 1 is starting to push things.

The 11th-minute incident against the Stooges today sees Benavent sidelined for nearly a month - he looks set to miss the next three league games, and then will take a while to get back up to form, which has crashed to a big fat zero.

'It's not ideal and he'll probably miss the game against Diogenes' commented LukeFM.

'I may have to dip into the transfer market to find some sort of emergency loan replacement. It'd be the first player we'll have bought in the best part of two years, and where I'm going to find a 14-skill goalkeeper on the cheap I don't know. Hector Hodge did a sterling job for us last time though, I could also call up on Dani Agger... this is why I like highly-skilled all-rounders'.

'Luckily our next two league games are against sides at the bottom of the table, and the Cup doesn't really matter. It's the Diogenes match which is the worry'.

'No doubt blah made a voodoo doll of Fausto and has spent the past week instructing his players to maul it in any way possible. That guy has always looked a but shifty to me'.
