Magdalen Park Vth rebuilds after major spring upheaval

Shocked by departures, resignations and sackings, Magdalen's Vth team has a tough, uphill struggle to pave its baseline with glory. Denuded of questionable former talent, decisive measures have been taken in the transfer market to bolster the faithful core of Willcocks, Schmetzer and Clay.

In come Graham Goode, a newbie who plays to the standards implied by his name. Matthew Wakefield, the promising big hitter and Patrick Jamieson, the mercurial baseline piledriver. On limited funds, one can only applaud the team's management in attracting this new generation of stars.
