Hat-tricks

Player Team Against Date Scorecard
Shahab Alam Kathmandu Goldens Team Chauraha Dhangadhi 31 March 2018
gollark: They are!
gollark: When they get "summoned", some xenowyrms come in and run some fancy special effects, then put in a fancy purple-painted egg, and when it grows up they wear a trenchcoat and do GoN stuff.
gollark: The hatchling form is really cool, huh.
gollark: As we all know, xenowyrms summon all new CB eggs. All hail xenowyrms.
gollark: Eggs not hatching? Add more hatcheries!
