The first one.

The first game of the season went well. Duval beat its arch rivals Vikings 3-2. We had a little scare because some of our best players where away at their château. You know the one where they keep the painting by Van Klomp of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies. Anyway it was very nice to see Joan her first game and to welcome Dave back into the fold. Yoshi who had not played since last year was on top form. Jan was her bubbly self which always spreads joy.
