WARLOCKS 19-9 Crusty Palace
===Sad, though it is, that it took an opponent devoid of any discernible defenders to achieve, the relief was undeniable in the Warlocks camp this evening as the men in white recorded their first win in over three months. Following on from what can only adequately be described as a holocaust of a season, in which the Warlocks acquired the grand total of a point over 10 games, the Powerleague veterans bounced back in emphatic fashion in a 19-9 victory that ranks among their biggest to date. ===

===After week upon week of relentless annihilation at the hands of hilariously superior opposition and the inevitable relegation that followed, the Warlocks now find themselves in the middle of 3 leagues. Their opponents tonight, Crusty Palace are one of two newly promoted teams in Division 2 and so it appears sterner tests await the Warlocks in the coming weeks. Nevertheless it is a welcome return to winning ways after a barren run stretching back to mid October. ===

===The Warlocks fielded a strong side for their opening game which included recent part-timer George Perrozzi and legendary excuse maker Simon Millson. Charles Stewart opted to give his injured toes a rest by going in goal meaning George occupied a much deeper role than usual owing presumably to his lack of faith in any of his teammates to fill the defensive void left by Charles at the back. in spite of his tactical switch-up, George still demonstrated much of the nonchalant brilliance that has become his trademark, tormenting opposing players and knocking several classy through balls through to Takis Anatolitis who was uncharacteristically composed in front of goal. True to tradition however, Anatolitis did manage to contribute a wholly unintentional goal to further expand his repertoire of flukes and also gifted the opposition a goal with a Danny Rose-esque last man calamity in front of the Warlocks goal. ===

===Ashkan impressed greatly on the night, managing to only fall over and cry on one occasion as well as throwing in several crunching challenges and a couple of goals to boot. Simon managed to score two identical goals from the same virtually impossible angle while Nicky Stewart was involved in nearly every Warlocks attack including one savage attack on the opposing keeper reminiscent of Eric Cantona at Selhurst Park while, at the other end, brother Charles put in a solid goalkeeping performance rendering Mark Grogan's value to the squad ever more redundant. All in all it was a good show from all involved, albeit against fairly poor opposition, with goals coming in from all outfield players. ===
