Singing their happy song and smurfing along to Watford, the loveable Smurfs are hoping to evade the grasp of the opposition in similar fashion to the way they dance away from arch nemesis Gargamel.

This tribe of ankle biters will be hoping that with enough smurfing courage they can upset the balance and take some silverware home to smurf village.

The smurfs were also planning on bringing along an ale to enter into the ale festival, brewed using only the finest of smurfberries. Unfortunately, this was held by customs at Calais (who happened to be working for once rather than on strike) as Smurfberries , as everyone knows, can’t be bought or sold on the open market due to their endangered nature.

Legend has it that the Smurfs were the original workers within Willy Wonka’s factory. However, due to having such a strong union and demanding quilted loo paper in the staff restrooms, Wonka shifted them on and brought in cheap oompa loompa labour. This rivalry has festered for a while and is sure to have some fireworks on the pitch when these teams meet.

Team Captain Scotty Menzies said “We’re going to smurf the smurf out of the opposition, then smurf their smurfs whilst smurfing all over their smurfs.” Strong words indeed, Scott.
