Ok, ignoring the drooling and dribbling by the poster previous to you:

Trollball is a game that first appeared in Runequest, a fantasy roleplaying
game set in a world called Glorantha.  

It could be seen as a sort of Trollish version of rugby. 
You take a Trollkin, which is a short scrawny creatures held in little
respect by other Trolls, for use as a ball,  find a field to play on, and 
try to score a goal with trollkin.
On the field any non sharp weapons are allowed.
Teams are usually 5 players each, but this has been known to vary.

What I am suggesting is a game of Trollball, in a similar vein to the
ORCISH vs DUGA soccer matches that we keep hearing about.  
Instead of a live Trollkin, we use a teddy bear, and instead of large maces,
we use rolled up Newspapers.

Given some funding from University Clubs, such as ORCISH, DUGA and RMIT SFGA 
this could work.
