For those of you who weren't able to make it out to Coastal Invasion, you missed a new game that everyone seemed to enjoy.
I'm sure somebody may have done this before, somewhere but I've never heard of it so let me know if you have.
  I introduced it as ancient Irish soccer, but I think Saracen Head Soccer may be a more fitting title...(open to suggestions)
Two 9-person teams of heavy fighters armed with their choice of weapons (we had archers for the goalies) kicking around a severed head, trying to score a goal while not losing their own heads. When a fighter was killed, he had to run back to his own goal to ressurect & rejoin the game. It was a great cardio workout, that had participants and marshalls laughing the whole time. 
Hmm you see what kind of madness develops when Flossie doesn't show up to an event??? I doubt this will ever replace Ogre Ball, but it sure was a blast!
