ALL HAIL THE ~~KINGS~~ QUEENS!
PLAYMATES WIN THE CUP!

19 july 2005
Week 8

It was a hard-fought match with two team vying for ultimate glory. Only one team would emerge victorious to earn its place as the first champion of the Fighting Hellfish Blood Bowl Premier League.

Congratulations to coach Tommy and his Lustria Playmates who beat the Forty Miners by a score of 1-0.

The Freshwater Division champs, the Lustria Playmates, were 6-2 in the regular season. The Playmates easily earned their right to represent the Freshwater Division by taking down the Wasteland Wyverns in the playoffs the preceding week.

The Saltwater Division champs, the Forty Miners, were 6-1 and needed to get through the plucky Wormhole Surfers to move on to the Big Game.

It was a tightly played game with the Lustria Playmates squeezing out a victory and shutting out the powerhouse Forty Miners.

Not only was this the inaugural season of the Fighting Hellfish BBPL, but this was Coach Tommy inaugural season of blood bowl. Although he never fielded a team before, he ended the league with the best record in his division and second best in the league.

On top of that, his team was one of the best looking to hit the field. The Playmates went from the all-metal look to glorious full color in just a matter of weeks. Nice work, coach.

PANSY PLAGUE OVERPOWERS

5 july 2005
Week 8

Illness strikes the pitch, as players, coaches and even cheerleaders, fall under the assault of the Pansy Plague. Unable to play any further, two teams, the Neverland Nightmares and Lustra Playmates, readily conceded to their opponents.

Consequently, the ailment has forced a tie in the Saltwater Division. The Playmates and the Wasteland Wyvern are neck in neck at the finish line.

The commissioner has been spending days and nights trying to draw up plans to resolve this unexpected tie so that the Premiership Cup can be played.

Hopefully, the Pansy Plague can be contained and other teams will not succumb to this ferocious fever.

THE HODGE REPORT

23 may 2005
Week 1

Hodge-Podger: "Holy-swiss cheese and meat gone bad! I have never seen such a turn out! Prospective coaches seeking fame and honor have come from all over the Old World, as well as Lustria and Briternia for the inaugural season of the Hellfish Premiership. Of course, at the height of my career while the number of teams weren't as many, the quality and temper of the player's skil-"

Stikka: 'Ack! 'nuff 'nuff always yammering always clammering blah blah stuffy glory hoo-pah. Suck some of youz toez if'n you can't reach the bacon buddies. The fanz wanna hearz about the deaths! So many players lined up for da bone-saw, and two fer the boxes! You just can't beat dat for da beatin's!

Hodge-Podger: Quite right, the fans of today are interested in the more gruesome details, so I've arranged an interview with King Seti of the Briternia Kings who won the coveted bronze tombstone for first death caused in a league series. King Seti, most teams are reluctant to kill so early a series for fear of being singled out by other teams, did you consider this, or did you simply not care?"

King-Seti: "Urrgha ruuurulll..."

Hodge-Podger: " Ur, um, yes, I see... So was this a deliberate action? Was there game strategy behind this particular death?"

King-Seti: " Nurugha urrgha..."

Hodge-Podger: " ....." (blinks) "Well, can you tell us what to expect to see for the Kings in future games?"

King-Seti: " Urrgha nurugha ruurulll.."

Hodge-Podger: " I'm afraid this is not very enlightening Mr. Seti, if I could get you to just answer one que-"

King-Seti: "NURRGHUH" (a huge cloth-wrapped-backhanded blow sends the halfling sprawling)

Stikka: "Yooo-haah! Hee He He Ho! Thatz all da times we gotz for youz out der today! Toon in next week for more details of da best blood bowl around, and drink up dat Orca-Cola.

THE HODGE REPORT

9 may 2005
Preseason

Hodge: "Hodge Podger reporting here at the Hellfish Fields for the Pre-Season practice games. And what a showing! I haven't seen such action since the Gore-Cup when I was given the Season MVP award for most yardage hurled for a living player in a single seaso.."

Stikka: "Ah shuddup bacon-gut! No onez wantsa listen to yourz yammer-trap flap flap! Go stuff it with sum biskits halfwit halfling! I iz Stikka and I shuld know some mean cruel teams when I seez 'em. So much blood and pounding and no onez even keepin scorz yet! At least three playerz even got kill't out there! Oh this is gunna be a good seazon, oh yes yes. Looks like about a dozen teams are going for the cup, but there may be more still..."

(Choaking down the last bite of a biscuit) Hodge: "What the goblin means is that this is looking like one of the Seasons for the record books. Nearly a dozen teams and maybe more still to report for next week's Tuesday's practice games. Then, the following week the new cup season kicks off for action packed, bone-crunching action! Every Tuesday from now through early July."
