The Tusker Post
Match2 Feb 2036
Tusker run riot against Posta Rangers
3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Tusker rebuffed over Itumeleng Billiat
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Cultural Leonesa have kept their man, and Tusker go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
