Midsummer Murders….Episode 8:__Tigers slay Tigers.

Police are still investigation the terrible massacre that occurred in the late afternoon in the sleepy hamlet of Mildenhall in deepest Suffolk on Sunday. Inspector Tom Barnaby said “It really was an act of sheer brutality. The local Fen Tigers were attacked by a group of similar but more powerful predators from Yorkshire. Fifteen times the two packs met in mortal combat but the visiting hordes exacted maximum carnage on eleven occasions with four of their number unbeaten.”

The Inspector’s assistant, Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy, added “The poor, unprotected local pack were only able to defend themselves on two occasions. On the sixth attack they managed to gain an advantage over their attackers with the use of a double edged manoeuvre which gained them five strikes to three on their aggressors. Then in the penultimate attack they distinguished themselves with five strikes to one when their speed into the fray was too much for the Yorkshire pack.”

Locals were stunned by the ferocity of the battle but one, Doctor George Bullard, told reporters that they had seen it on seven other occasions this year. The local pack have once again retired to repair their battered spirits and try to regroup but questions are now being asked just how often they can survive such terrible attacks from invading hordes. The Fen Tigers are now one of the most endangered species in the country. They have sought assistance from far and wide but seem unable to stop the carnage from the rapacious gangs which tend to descend on the neighbourhood on Sunday afternoons to plunder the area and return home with the booty.

The local residents are very despondent about the situation but the police are confident that with an injection of fresh resources the area can be better protected and some of these visiting vandals will be repelled to lick their wounds. There are many sympathetic to the plight of the Fen Tigers and hopefully their support and encouragement will see things turned round for a successful conclusion to the season.

Scorers: For Mildenhall – Nicki Glanz 9 (7), Chris Schramm 6 (5) (with 4 point TR), Theo Pijper 5+1 (6), Michal Rajkowski 5 (5), Jan Graversen 2 (2), Matt Wright 0 (5).
