| SHOCKBALL KICKS OFF Fans were jubilant today as the first weeks matches of the Colonial Shockball League finally kicked off. After initially announcing the rebirth of the popular CSL by Troon Kebris and Aces Israel, eight teams were born and their stadiums raised on their home worlds. The Core Worlds conference got the action underway with the closest of the weeks matches between the Pelentar Flares being hosted by the Corulus Rangers. The Flares took the match 52 to 44. It is reported that Rangers owner, Troon Kebris was unhappy with the commitment shown by captain Dac Kain. It seems it was a feeling echoed by the Rangers Captain and winger, Kain, as his comment at the after-match press conference showed: “Well my attitude sucked.” It will be interesting to see how the relationship develops between Kebris and Kain over the coming weeks. Elsewhere in the Core Worlds Conference the Meerec Wildcats showed they were serious title contenders by trouncing Calivir Crushers 72 to 12. Crushers “Super-Sub” Carn`ilo` Sabosen was despondent after the match, stating “We got the crap kicked out of us.” He then went on to say “we need a strategy!” It will be interesting to see what changes Crushers owner Jaxom Sky implements. Over in the Outer Rim conference, the Lothbo Rancors inflicted a similarly heavy defeat over the Kal`Shebbol Echelon, going up 67 to 26. Echelon owner and player Ellias Aubec was happy with his team’s effort despite the heavy loss. “Was a long, hard game. Not bad for the start to the season. Could’ve been better. Heck could have been WAY better. I will have to look into getting my team into better shape, what with drones taking over a lot. Hopefully, come next game we’ll be in better shape for a win.” The biggest talking point of the week however was the loss by the big talking Kabal Onslaught. Boasting arguably the largest supporter base the Onslaught, owned by Kabal Shryke, were the most outspoken of teams during the pre-season. However they were made to eat their words as they went down to a fiery Endor Supernovae 54 to 34. After the match, Shryke had this to say: “The players are still getting accustomed to working together. I won’t name names but there does seem to be some issues to work out with some of them. We will come back strong though.” PLAYER RIVALRIES LEAD TO ALL-IN-BRAWL The Wildcats and the Crushers were at logger-heads all night, after numerous altercations between Stefan Corleone and Tarn Fyy. A cheap shot from Corleone sparked the tension which later saw Fyy exact revenge by shocking Corleone until he was unconscious. An all-in-brawl occurred once Corleone returned to the field only to make a direct course for Fyy. The referees eventually managed to break the fight up but not before both Fyy and Corleone were bruised and battered. Corleone commented, “His (Fyy) head clearly wasn’t in the game, he forgot it’s all about fun. But I will fight him anywhere, anytime! Wait, no, that’s Pit Fighting.” RUMOURS OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE CONTINUE TO PLAGUE CSL Despite denials by CSL officials the reported abuse of performance enhancing substances continue to run hot throughout the competition. Goran Goran of the Flares commented to reporters “I love how there is no ‘juicing’ in the game but we have unconscious players returning in less then two minutes.” The home of the CSL can be found http://csl.galacticsportsleague.com/.
