LEAGUE ROUNDUP

In a frenetic couple of weeks the Albion League has grown to its largest size in five years with a number of teams now looking like real contenders in the race for the play-offs.

Munch Bunch II nailed thier credentials to the mast with an impressive six wins in their last seven, including victories over the hard to beat Warriors and unpredictable Monster Mash. Meanwhile the Warriors continue to underwhelm, with only one win in seven.

The Karak Norn Blitzers managed a very respectable draw against Dave Bone's That's A Good Question and consolidated their position with wins over newcomers Hexoatl Harbingers and previous league leaders Valhalla Destinies. Against the norse the Blitzers destroyed their opponents reputation as the hardest team in the league, winning 7-0 on casualties and showing off their newest addition, a deathroller!

The Lightning Lizards managed three wins after a dire run of form which ended with a 5-1 defeat to Warpstone 13 and a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Night's Watch. Since then they have managed winss against less experienced teams though in doing so managed to have their Kroxigor killed! Even so the Lizards are finally putting together something of a run of form.

At the top of the table the Albion Lions continue to look threatening, earning two draws against veteran coaches, adding to the woes of John Harris this weekend. Quasi-sollipsistic Post-senilist Balletomaniacs, coached by ex-Buttenoids star Poncey Pointy-Earned Nonce, had a torrid day, losing to Munch Bunch II thanks to unseasonable heat at the forge stadium,and drawing to the humans of Simon Canham. Even that match looked like being another defeat for the Dark Elves as they were 2-0 down at half time. The game against the Chaos team, where the Balletomaniacs were reduced to five players for one setup recorded sweltering temperatures quite at odds with the weather patterns outside. The Chaos coach refused to answer questions on daemonic involvement...

Quietly moving into scond place are Night's Watch, after recording five wins in six games, beating Karak Norn Blitzers, Warpstone 13 and Prodigious Vermin among others. Their team now includes some very skilled players, including an exceptionally strong elf, and many are now tipping the horde team as one of the real threats in the play-offs... As ever, there is still a long way to go.
