The keenly anticipated match between Geffrin Tusks and Marshbank Allstars will take place despite apples laced with sleeping medicine having been found at Geffrin Tusk’s training ground. Security has been increased, with the Constabulary augmented by a detachment of Royal Guard under the direct command of Count Geffrin himself. An illegal gambling ring is thought to be behind the attack although action by Marshbank Allstars fans angry after their disqualification last season has not been ruled out. Marshbank Allstars are expected to field a strong team with Dave the Hammer and Thunder both likely to play, but most of the attention will be on Geffrin Tusk’s new midfielder, Spot, rumoured to be the heaviest mammoth ever to play.
