This week saw the Mongrels back up for a double header in standing in for the waning numbers of opponents.
Sources close to the Olympic Committee have hinted that a number of the Mongrels opponents in the international mixed volleyball grand prix championship titles have withdrawn from the competition for fear of being possessed by the infernal spirit that is rumoured to cause the self destructive, venomous diatribe to spew forth during matches.
No-shows are now so frequent that Mongrels are now having sit in for other teams as well as try and recruit opponents from outside the league.
Rumours abound of a three way title series where the Mongrels will play against the winners of the NRL and AFL grand finals.
This was not enough to dampen the spirits of the mongrels with their display of fine Indoor Cricket warmup capabilities before hitting the 55 point mark at half time in their match against a patchwork opponent in Borderline Insanity.
Robbo started with her usual flurry of net finding attack shots whilst Bonky chimed in with a couple of wall balls.
The Mongrels switched off in the second half seemingly cheating anyone who had put money on a 100+ outcome. This had nothing to do with the switch in the setting regime. Ah well there is always next weeks game against AIS.

Mongrels back on track
After a record undefeated streak the Mongrels have finally been able to find form for achieving their Silver Medal dreams in going down 62-60 to the White Tigers last night in front of a capacity crowd at the Grammar Dome.
Bonky took it upon himslef to personally self destruct the performance of the Mongrels to get the team back on track for Silver Medal success.
After last seasons dissapointing undefeated, Gold Medal winning effort, the mongrels have changed tact and plan on intentionally loosing one game in every three.
The Mongrel's performance was enhanced by the no-show of Pussa to allow the team to try a different missing man formation.
At one stage the White Tigers led by 17 points but the Mongrels were able to make it look a lot closer so suspicion would not be drawn to their large wagers on their opponents.
A freak accident in warm up insured that Franky was fired up after a wayward torpedo punt 'accidentally' smashed her in the face. The look of death took it's toll in putting Cookie and Blatchy off their game for the first half.
It is unknown at this stage if Pussa will be making a retunr to the starting line up after some feeble excuse relating to 'saving the wolrd one bust at a time'.
One can only hope that the Mongrels can now get into the zone and concentrate on achieving the high level of offensive behaviour to teammates that we all know and love.

New signing shines
All and sundry were suprised at the latest outing of the Mongrels when it was revealed that the new signing is not a rumoured dancing monkey but instead they have opted to select from the homeland of volleyball in Queensland by picking a recent import returned from the UK and hailing from Bundaberg.
Bec was worried that the standard of her game may not reach the dizzying heights expected from the Mongrels die-hard fans and was complaining of sore arms after her warmup.
However after her first attacking play cleany found the net and dropped at her feet the tention was released and she chimmed in with self and peer abuse to join the Mongrels flock.
All that is left is the annointing of a new nickname and she will join Pussa, Blatchy, Lisa, Cookie, Franky and Bonky in the Mongrels Hall of Fame.
Not too much attention was payed as to who the Mongrels were playing and we believe a victory was achieved to taking their unbeaten record to 22 games.
It is still to be seen if this standard of play can be continued throughout this season and beyond.

Rumoured simian signing
---STOP PRESS---STOP PRESS---STOP PRESS---
Scouts for the Mongrels team were sighted at the Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo interviewing several members of simian descendancy.
These included a Gibbon, several Orangutan, a Chimpanzee, two Baboons and a Lemur.
Mystery still shrouds the announcement of the phantom sixth member of the team for next weeks match.

Allstar 6 trounced
The start of season 3 2006 has seen the formation of a super team to try and break the Mongrels run of over 20 matches undefeated.
The all star team disguised as Dig Deep started strongly and tried to intimidate the Mongrels defence with a strong display of hitting but, as we have seen before. the old, cunning and stubborn will eventually win out over the young, inexperienced overconfident.
Once the Mongrels got into full swing with their self focussed degredation they were able to completely block out their opponents both in thought and action.
"The concerted attempt to break the long standing record of the Mongrels team can only be seen as a waste of time and effort which could have been better spent on charity work." came a comment form the Mongrels bench.
However the press conference heard a different story from the players. "We thoroughly enjoyed the record breaking attempt from the all star team tonight. This gave us a rare opportunity to really let rip on ourselves and gain further depths of self-esteem breaking abuse." was the thoughts from the Captain.
This now puts the Mongrels in the unenviable position as the team to beat in the competition. Not a familiar position for all team members. With this in mind there has been rumour of a reshuffle in the line up to cater for the amount of hate mail the team has been receiving.
Scouts are currently interviewing in zoo & circus throughout the country in order to find a suitable replacement for Lisa.
Next week sees the team return with a new line up and questionable motivation.
Stay tuned.

Mongrels fail again
The Mongrels have again failed to achieve their goal of a silver medal in the international mixed volleyball grand prix championship titles hosted at the Grammar Dome for season 2 2006.
Despite their best efforts, the Mongrels stumbled through the season undefeated to fall over the line and unfortunately take the gold medal.
Mongrels management are still trying to make the most of a terrible performance, negotiating with sponsors to grant part of promised silver medal incentives in order to keep the club viable for another season.
The Mongrels players seem to have done all right with them having an each way bet on the final themselves.
In the mean time the off season will prove extra short with the team backing up the following week.
Well done and here is hoping for some silverware next season.
