Week One

John The Craven's Newsround

The first week of the inaugural season saw The Albion Coast League get off to a flying start. 14 teams took to the fields of doom, some with higher hopes than others. All praying for the blessings of Nuffle, to aid them in their quest for glory.


The Albion Coast is home to a bewilderingly large sample of races, all with a shared love of brawling, drinking and playing some ball.


The Chaos Engine comprises that most unholy alliance - the pact of chaos, threatening to spread destruction and mutation across the Albion Coast.


The Farmington Raiders see a collection of green skins, united in their love of raiding and smashing.


The Ankle Biters have been trapped in their mines for years, just itching to see the green fields and stadiums along the coast, and turn them red with their opponents blood.


Asininity is guided by a great necromancer, filling his team with the living, the ever-living, the undead and the unwilling. Can they pull together long enough to dominate?


The Scragg Shankers is made up of the only humans mad enough to face the other formidable races in the league. Their coach is said to feast on cyanide by night, will it rot his brain or inspire him to glory?


The Karneth Cruelhearts are a newly assembled squad of Dark Elves. Fit lean and agile, their poise is matched only by their malice and desire to win at all costs.


The Amaxon Eagles take to the field representing the fairer race. No, not goblins, but females. The Ladies of the Eagles will be no push over, tackling them could be a challenge.


The Deep Forest Defenders see's their coach come out of retirement with a new plan to conquer the fair shores of Albion, and the trademark threat of twin Wardancers.


The Cheeseland Browns love nothing more than running fast, hitting hard and the smell of a mouldy Stilton in their twitching nostrils.


And the Brutes from The Moot, may be as round as their ar tall but their coach has more than a few tricks up his sleeve when it comes to taking on the big boys.


The Spleen Bay Smackers and Emily's Elves made an early appearance, will the prospect of fortnightly mayhem lure them into the league full time or will their coaches hold the teams back for more occasional outings?


The Gooners are a team of proud High Elves, graceful and skillfull, but will they have the strength to survive the season as contenders?


And lastly your humble reporter brings you news of his home team, The Hellpit Cravens, a cowardly and evil axis of Skaven and Goblins, tainted by warpstone, and smelling worse than the Cheeseland Browns' favourite snack. Will the animosity between the races prove too much?


Much blood was spilled in the name of Nuffle, with The Brutes from The Moot and Asininity both weighing in with four casualties. The Halflings stunned the crowds, pulling off a 4-0 win as well. The coach of the Spleen Bay Smackers was seen scratching his head after the game wondering what had just occured. Da Warped Biggun scored the most unlikely of big guy touchdowns lumbering the length of the field to ensure the Hell Pit Cravens shared the points against the tricky pointed ear Wood Elfs.
