VICTORY!

Last Tuesday evening the Royal Raleigh Rotters won their final game of the Spring 2006 season 3-2 over the evil android army Diosynth. Ed Shred and Big Al Khalifa each scored slow-rolling beauties that just barely had momentum enough to make it into the Diosynth net. The third goal was one of the most beautiful, brute force scores in Rotter history, a group effort in which Kate Hate, Chris O'Shagnasty and Shred (someone correct me on who was involved if I'm wrong -- there may have been as many as ten Rotters in on the play) all converged on the ball in a massive Rotter attack and marched it past the helpless Diosynth keeper. People likened it to the '05 Steelers offensive line.

Cap'n Mike played goal first half and Sam the Invincible German played goal second half. They were heroes, allowing only one goal apiece. Diosynth were good and fast and partly British but the Rotters beat them anyway. No thanks to Jon Lowy.

This season-ending victory brought the Rotters to a mind-boggling 8-2 record, assuring them at least a 2nd place finish in the TASL Coed C standings. These and other facts were celebrated thoroughly at Horniblows after the game.

Note: Official Rotter Minister of Public Information Pete Farquhar has been too busy creating powerpoint presentations featuring Gil Dodson of late, so this report was filed by Deputy Rotter Minister of Public Information Chris Clemmons.
