First Heat Marked By Difficult Contests
The majority of the first heat games were very tight and difficult for the coaches. There were several upsets with the Skaven Skrewballz losing to the Wild Ones and the Harbingers of Doom being defeated by the Athena's Avengers. Several games were won or lost in the last minute, including the Tombstone Terrors overtime victory against the Backwata Bashas and the frustrating failure of the Chaos Crushers to score against the Darktower Slayers. The Amazon teams have proven particularly difficult to knock down and coaches are now reevaluating the response to these teams. It was a very exciting first heat in all respects and the coaches are looking forward to more.

Game Notes
|
|
The Skaven Skrewballz lost 2 to 3 to the wily Wild Ones. Despite the fact the Wild Ones had Bribed the Referee, Sieran Highhair (the team Dirty Tricker) was kept out of most of the game due to a Knock Out by Lefty Neebiter. Sieran entered the game late and made a key Dirty Trick removing Shifty Garbageater from play and denying the opportunity to score. The weather was Sunny for an early portion of the day, but the glare moderated quickly. The game was a brutal sparring match of wits and the Skaven Skrewballz coach was plagued with the throwing failures.

Game Notes
|
|
Rage D'Homme defeated the Arabica Knights 1 to 0 in a game of brutal blocking, with the Knights taking most of the beating. Duke Sanani, the Arabica Knights Dragon Warrior received a broken jaw at the hands of Meri Dead I, the Rage D'Homme Thrower. By the end of the game only 5 of the Knights remained standing. The game was rife with failed passes. Rage D'Homme had 4 failed passes and Arabica Knights had one failed pass and an intercepted pass. The Knights valiantly battled the Rage, but could not quite muster a victory.

Game Notes
|
|
The Harbingers of Doom were defeated 0 to 1 by Athena's Avengers in a hard shoving match that involved little ball movement and harsh blocking. The Amazons proved to be very difficult to knock down! The game was played in nice weather. Warren Zapp of the Harbingers missed the game due to being arrested for rowdy pre-game behavior. Both teams had a player caught for using dirty tricks. The Doom took the ball to the midfield, where it remained for most of the first half. In the last turn a sprint failed to score. The Avengers used their numbers advantage to good effect in the second half, moving the ball slowly up the field. The Harbingers were plagued by poor performance from some of their best blockers. One unruly fan threw a rock and broke the jaw of Jon El-Whack removing him from the game at the beginning of the second half. El-Whack is expected to miss the next game.

Game Notes
|
|
The Tombstone Terrors defeated the Backwata Bashas in a nail-biting contest of wills and brawn. Despite the usual relentlessly viscous blocking of the Bashas, the Terrors were able to wrest a victory from their grasp in sudden death overtime. Hairy, a Backwata Bashas Blitzer injured Oozing Oscar, a Tombstone Terrors Ghoul. The Bashas knocked Boney Backstaber around so badly that he failed to Regenerate and was slain. Tim Terror ran the ball into the end zone to win the game, scoring his second touchdown. The game was played in very sunny weather. Nashing Norman, a Tombstone Terrors Ghoul, was ejected from play for fouling a player.

|
Tombstone Terrors Notes

Oozing Oscar suffered from a smashed knee and is expected to miss the next game.

Game Notes
|
|
The Death Row Posse defeated the Blood River Savages cruising past them in an easy 3-0 victory. Despite the outstanding blocking by their front line, made mostly of stout Black Orcs, the Savages could not stop the human catchers from zipping around them and getting to the ball, no matter how deep it was in the Orcs' side of the pitch. Posse Catchers ruled the day as they scored the only points in the game, demonstrating just how deadly speed can be. The Savages were brutal, leaving only one Posse catcher on the pitch at some points during the second half. Despite strong blocking the Savages did not do enough damage to get the Posse's apothecary off the sidelines. Crazy Clyde, the Posse's lone guard gave the Savages' blocking coach fits. Both sides were plagued with impatience to get to the bloodshed and were called on a combined 6 illegal procedures.

Game Notes
|
|
The Darktower Slayers wrestled the Chaos Crushers to a 2 to 2 standstill in Overtime. The Crushers were unable to pickup the ball in the Slayers end zone several times in the final turns of play. Both teams engaged in Dirty Ticks during the first half. The Chaos Crushers Beastman Morgan Claw was caught fouling Zhag Da Bolta, a Darktower Slayers Thrower, and was ejected from the game. The Slayers Kalreg Da Knocka, a Black Orc Blocker, was ejected after his second foul of the game, while kicking Merl Spikeman, a Crushers Beastman. Despite strong blocking there were few casualties and no deaths. The game was played in a series of tough scrums with both sides struggling for ground. Despite being out on a bender all night Targ Bonebreaka managed to score the 2 Touchdowns for the Darktower Slayers. He did fail to act in a key play due to his poor condition. Rabar One Eye, a Beastman, scored the 2 Chaos Crushers Touchdows of the game.

Echoes From The Dugout
The following letter was found in the trash outside the commissioners office at NWL headquarters.
Dear Mr. Commissioner,
Please note the following roster changes for the Harbingers of Doom for the upcoming season.
Due to their proclivity to warming the bench and whining about the arterial bleeding they tended to suffer, numbers 9 and 13 (Ronnie Little and Bubba) have been cut from the team. Their presence in the locker room was deemed such a cancer that not only are they not held on as coaches, they have been banned for life from all future Harbingers' functions, including games, retirement ceremonies, as well as the yearly pig roast and keg toss held at the owners ranch held for all players, past and present. Their names are to be stricken from the record books and mentioned only in passing, and then only to reference how much better the team is without them on it.
Thank You
Greasy McGoo, Esc. Public Relations
Headquarters of Doom 1 Doom Plaza Capitol City, DM 66666
