"Eleanor McDowall’s jaunty feature brings us the
oval track, teams lined up to break through opposing lines and score points,
shouting, jostling, shoving, loving it. [...] you have to register your players’ names, e.g. Cilla
Block, Venus Diablo, Raw Heidi. Poise, balance, skill and elegance are also
required. Ditto paramedics."
