Saints Draw

Friday night saw the Couronne Saints and the Black Plagues play out a 1-1 Draw.

The match was a far-cry from the Touch Down-a-thon of their Championship encounter - with both teams really struggling to generate any momentum. The Saints made several assaults on the Plague's goal line - only to be brought down time and again by the dogged Skaven defence.  For their part, several golden opportunities were squandered by the Plagues though uncharacteristically clumsy plays.

FNFVIII CUP Round 1

Round 1 of the CUP phase in the FNFVIII Champions Grand Slam is now complete.

Unfortunately, Coach Drakeular, like so many necromancers before him, has been forced to relocate after the local peasantry, wielding flaming brands and pitchforks, stormed his unholy laboratory. 

Local citizens seeking a quiet word with Coach Drakeular

Hopefully, he'll soon be able to find an abandoned castle in which to practice his nefarious arts and revive his team.

In the meantime, the FVFVIII continues and here are this weeks standings after the first round of Cup matches.

Round 2 Match-Ups are:

Givo The Black Plagues (Ska) v Couronne Saints (Hum ) Axebreaker

Supercoach Shreking Crew (Ogr) v Cruor Conventio (DaE) Justorius

Due to the aforementioned difficulties being experienced by Coach Drakeular - the following match will be entered as 1-1 Draw

Big A Maxwell's Golden Hammer (Nor) v Hermann's Heroes (Nec) Drakeular

Saints Win Big

Earlier in the week the Couronne Saints opened up their FNFVIII Cup campaign with a convincing     4-1 win over the Ogres' of the Shreking Crew.

It was a remarkable reversal of form for the Saints who hadn't won a game since Round 1 of the Championship - and whose last encountered with the Ogres resulted in a pain filled draw with lots of casualties to the humans (without harming so much as a single Snotling!!). 

In contrast, this week they ran in Four Touch Downs and caused a satisfying Seven casualties. A full replay is available on Cabalvsion.

Saints Lose Again

The Couronne Saints lost another game earlier this week - going down to the Norse of Maxwell's Golden Hammer 2-1.

The Saints, still recovering from the physical beating they received from the Ogres last week, hired the legendary Griff Oberwald to play for them. Despite his presence, some early casualties and several persistent Knock-Outs saw the Saints outnumbered throughout the match and only able to field seven players at the start of the second half. Not nearly enough to stop a full team of crazed Vikings!

A full replay is available on Cabalvision.

FNFVIII Championship Round 3

Round 3 of the FNFVIII Champions Grand Slam is now complete.

It was another great round - and you can catch all the action on Cabalvision. The contest for the Championship phase of the competition really tightened up with this week and almost anyone can now take home the shield.

One of the highlights (or lowlights, depending on your point of view) was the brutal carnage inflicted by the Shreking Crew Ogres on the Couronne Saints. It may take a while for humans to recovered from that match - especially as this week they face the foul-prone Norse outfit! 

Here are Jim and Bob with this weeks highlights: 

The standings at the end of week 3 are:
