A couple of shocks in the semi finals means we have something fun to watch if the combatants tell us when they're going to play (hint).....

Good luck to both. Tear each other to shreds!

I'm sorry to have to say this, but if we had listened to Haugster in the first place then none of this would have happened.

This just in: In the lead up to the great Fun League Final, all the players on the Alliance of Light team have been granted the Freedom of the Moot. You may now refer to them all as my Lord/Lady.

The Alliance of Light (Da Imp) - 2 vs 1 - Fairies with Boots (Beefburger)The impossible has happened! A team largely made up of Halflings (and honorary Halflings) has won the most prestigious prize in all Blood Bowl (Don't pretend otherwise, we all know this is the league that REALLY counts)! Taverns across the Old World erupted in rapturous celebration as the miraculous success of the Light was beamed to them live by Cabalvision. In mere minutes beer supplies were drained and long untouched barrels were dragged from dusty cellars to be opened and quaffed in short order. Even rare barrels of Bugmans XXXX were split open and drained by the thirsty crowds of cheering fans. In the game itself it felt like the Fairies came into the final full of nerves, surely they could never live down the shame of losing to a mismatched team of Trees, Halflings, Dwarfs and an Elf!? The Light meanwhile got off to a roaring start, injuring an Elven lineman in the opening exchange. They proceeded to make slow progress up the pitch while the Fairies did all they could to avoid the 3 Treemen and exploit any opening left by the Halflings. But despite managing to leap into the cage with a Wardancer (who naturally fell flat on his face) the Fairies could do nothing to stop the Light's progress towards the end zone. The Halfling Hit Squad was making sure to stick the boot into any Elf who went down and the injuries and KOs started to rack up. The ref seemingly oblivious to the fouls happening in front of him! With 2 turns to play in the half the Light were forced to score, deciding against trying to stall out a turn. This left the Fairies with 2 turns to try equalize - but without their star 1 turn TD player who was off in the KO box. The Fairies blew their chance to equalize though with a failed dodge that brought their drive to an end and the half belonged to the Light 1-0. The Fairies managed to field 8 players to start the second half and made quick work of breaking through the Light's defence, despite some pressure being applied to the ball carrier by a lone Halfling. The speed and agility of the Wood Elves prooved too much for the Light to cope with and the Fairies scored mid way into the half. Leaving enough time for both teams to win the game. From the kick-off the Light resumed their play from the first half. Kicking anyone on the ground and hitting as many players as they could. The ref was now awake however and was sending players off. Come the end of the game 4 (or was it 5) Halflings had been given their marching orders. But the fouls were taking their toll on the Elves and the dead and injured box was filling up. 2 dead Elves and 3 injuries in the game left the Fairies with a very thin defence. Eventually, despite the best efforts of the Wood Elves (even managing to dislodge the ball) the Light marched into scoring range and a lucky bounce found the ball securely in the hands of a Dwarf Blitzer who ran in to score the Championship Winning TD in turn 16!
