Blood Bowl News: Banshees Win Championship, put the 'Star' in Starfire

Breaking News - The Banshees have become the first Unseen League Champions, beating the Green Unseen 2-1 in an action-packed final game. The Banshees struggled in the first half, as Dextra Windstrike and Malace Shade found themselves hip-deep in a swarm of goblins, unable to break free. The second half swung the game in their favour, as Kate Khaine scored an early touchdown, followed by Avele Rainjackal pulling off one of the Banshee's infamous 'banshee blitzes' to put the game 2-0 in favour of the dark elves. The Greens pulled out all the stops, sneaking a chainsaw onto the field on multiple occasions, and even blackmailing witch elf Hecate Shrike into blocking one of her own teammates, but were only able to pull one back in the dying moments of the game, when Burt the troll smashed a path clear for Wado to score. Sadly, Wado was killed soon after this by an exploding goblin grenade.



Hot on the heels of her previous achievement, Banshees' runner Korandir Starfire was awarded the prestigious status of Star Player, ending the season with a total of fourteen completed passes, three touchdowns, one casualty and three 'most valuable player' awards.

Earlier, the Orange Rats had their hopes dashed in the semifinals against Green Unseen, when gutter runner Rat Lee fluffed an easy touchdown by fumbling the ball twice in the dying moments of the first half, allowing the Redcaps to coast to a 1-0 victory.

A new Blood Bowl season will start on April the 7th, at this year's Icon By the Sea.
