10th February 2003 - Retracide wins in intraclub match:
This Sunday Retracide enjoyed a leisurely pre-season intra-club match in air conditioned conditions at Fleet studios, Jandakot. The ground was flawless and made for a comfortable days play. The day went without incident with the exception of an incident involving the bass player Aaron Perry waking up late and arriving to the match 30 minutes late.

Two shortened games of 83 minutes were then played. New 'Cide' vs Old 'Cide' by an originals vs covers match. The new vs old fixture gave some of the Retracide newcomers a chance to showcase their talent. Arachnacide and Double Barrel showed exceptional form and are expected to shine in the up and coming Rottnest One-day international.

On a dark and sinister note comes the news of injuries to 'A damn body car' and 'Magnetic'. The injuries at this stage are indefinite and questions are looming as to whether they will take their places in the line up ever again. The aging Retracide favourites are expected to struggle against the talented crop of young tracks pushing up the ranks.

Game two saw the originals slaughter covers such as 'Killing in the name of'. The covers never looked like winning and their performance has been put down to a lack of match practice. However 'Handle me with care' and 'Rocking in the free world' were standouts. There was no contest against the superior sounds of 'Fortify' and 'Broken Down'.

Retracide look impressive on the track and much is expected from them on their overseas tour of Rottnest this Wednesday.
