"Dem orcs're good, dem orcs're mean, dem orcs're gonna eat your spleen!"
The famous team anthem of Grim Batallion rocked the whole stadium as the players made their way onto the pitch.
It wasn't enough to rankle the Slaughter Bay Buccaneers, who were in inspirational form. 2-1.

27/4 Ulthwé Highlords
Cap'n Tummy-Acher "I likes dem Elves"
This game wasn't the most exciting if you were to go by standings alone, with both teams making up the bottom of the league. But these ties betweeen struggling sides can sometimes turn into ´the most exciting games.
The Ulthwé Highlords isn't the most popular of teams, and you could tell by the number of fans they brought. But what they didn't have in numbers, they certainly have in status. Princes, princesses, lords of various elven kingdoms and all their slaves and servants. The prawn sandwich brigade.
In stark contrast were the maniacal fans of Slaughter Bay Buccaneers. Most of them being scurvy seadogs on land-leave and looking for trouble.
The game kicked-off with the Buccaneers on the recieving end.
The ball was passed to Reeker, who in turn was passed down the pitch to make it 1-0 Slaughter Bay.
The Highlords were clearly baffled and a strange strategy saw them form a cage and try to push down the sidelines.
After a few confused looks from the Buccaneers, and end was put to the caging and a few elves put down. 2-0, Slaughter Bay.
The second half saw the elves pass the ball for the first time, resulting in a touchdown. But the Slaughter Bay boys were not going to let their first points of the season slip from their grasp. A little grinding down the middle of the pitch and the score was 3-1 Slaughter Bay.
This was also the final score of the game, with Slaughter Bay Buccaneers picking up their first points.

Black Tooth Tribe 19/4 - 08
The day promised much with the sun shining bright on the green turf at Boby Park.
The Black Tooth Tribe kicked off with Buccaneers resident dark elf, Ruyker Bloodrose, deftly picking up the bouncing ball. As Ruyker looked for players to pass to he became so entranced with the indescribable carnage being wrought on the line of scrimmage that he didn't notice the green blur of Igor Gauntlet Runner thundering towards him. Down went Ruyker and away went the ball. Igor was too caught up in stomping on the unconcious Ruyker to notice the desperate Buccaneers players blitzing him from behind. Down went Igor and the ball was in Buccaneers hands again. The game had turned into Black Tooth Tribe's advantage though, and it wasn't long till they were celebrating their first touchdown of the game. The rest of the half finished in a great bloodbath with Buccaneers the worse for wear.
Next half started lively with the Tooths stampeding down the picth in search of a second touchdown. They soon had it and was quick in forming a defence in eager anticipation of the ensuing fight.
The Buccaneers had a different plan. A born of desperation. One Ogre's desperation, that is. Gronk Slaughterface, having felt harshly judged by the ref on several occasions on the day, picked up a thing at hand and threw it at the opposing team in frustration. Away went the puzzled goblin, Reeker Badbreath, flying towards the end zone, carrying the ball and trying to get his feet under him. He landed in a flurry of movement and was up and running for his life away from the screaming 7ft. tall green monsters charging after him. 1-2. The Buccaneers were back in it.
This turn of the game left the Tooth's clearly baffled and they soon lost the ball in the Buccaneers half. The ball was quickly passed to Reeker who was promtply thrown up-field by a stupidly grinning Gronk. The gods of fate didn't smile on Reeker though and Gronks stray throw pitted him into the path of a mad orc. Reeker couldn't keep his balance and dropped to the ground in a heap of flailing arms and legs, the ball bouncing into Black Tooth hands. The whistle went soon after and the Buccaneers were left ruing what could have been the perfect comeback, but turned out to be just another letdown. A letdown full of new potential, though.
Better luck next time Buccaneers!

Chaos Kings 19/4 - 08
As Heartripper refused to give the post-match interview we got a hold of one of the Buccaneers players heading for the locker room. Cap'n Tummy-Acher the troll.
Reporter: So. How do you feel right now, having lost a game that could so easily have gone the other way?
Cap'n T: ....Huh?...
Reporter: Ehm...How do you feel?
Cap'n T: ...Wha?...
Reporter: ......
Cap'n T: ...Goood...
Reporter: Ok. You had quite an awful day today, what with the standing around and doing nothing and all. Do you have anything to say on your performance today?
Cap'n T: OoKe...Me hungry.
Reporter: Right. So, you're one of the newest additions to the Buccaneers, do you think any of your team-mates are upset about the way you played today?
Cap'n T: OoKe...Mmmmm...
Reporter: Let's move along then. The Chaos Kings are known for their no mercy policy and a very high kill rate. Were you scared of them before the game and has your opinion changed afterwards?
Cap'n T: ....Me hungry...Aahhh...
Reporter: What, stop that. Help! Get off me you smelly freak of nature! Aaaaaaaaa!!...
Cap'n T: *burp!* ...Mmmm...Goooood...

Play-Offs 5/4 -08
As The Buccaneers hadn't qualified for the play-offs they were left with the task of cleaning up the bottom part of the league. This was done in splendid style as they swept aside Daddy's Hardhitters 2-0 in a hardhitting game.
Next up was Necro Suprimus, but as the Necromancer's were having a difficult time raising the corpses they needed, the game was cancelled, with The Buccaneers taking the win.
Rune Heartripper was unusually full of praise for his boys after the game with the hardhitters, claiming that: "..no team is too big to devour for my favorite mutants"(whatever that means). The only sour grape was the hinting at cruel torture being heaped on Buccaneers player Ruyker Bloodrose, after he played a really poor match, gifting away the ball on several occasions: "Ruyker knows he did bad. Real baad".
After this Heartripper promised that next season would see the Buccaneers top the table, if not on points then kills and that no one would be safe from his machines of destruction.

Human Dogs 27/3 -08
As Rune Heartripper so colourfully put it at the post-match interview: "Those *censored* bastards *censored* *censored* spiked our *censored* water. It's *censored* unbelievable that those *censored* goat-loving*censored* are allowed to *censored* bribe the ref and *censored* hex our players and *censored* tie our *censored* shoelaces. Who the *censored* *censored* *censored* *censored* and I'm just getting started you *censored* *censored* *censored* *censored* *censored* *censored* *censored* *censored*. Next time I'll *censored* rip their *censored* bodies into *censored* bits of *censored* *censored* stuff. Why can't you *censored* officials get this *censored* right instead of *censored* up the *censored* game. And *censored* *censored* my grandmother *censored* *censored* a hard iron rod *censored* into your *censored* eyesocket. You *censored* *censored* *censored*."
After this it get's pretty unintelligible.

Low Riders 15/3 - 08
It all started well for the Buccaneers, scoring a TD and injuring a dwarf but then the fun stopped.
The injured dwarf wasn't really injured, just needed a bit of the Bugman's Brew to get going again, and so did the rest of his team-mates.
Half an hour later Slaughter Bay had half their team left, trailing the dwarves 2-1. This was also the final score, as the Buccaneers didn't push much to get a 2nd TD with 6 men left on the field.
After the game Buccaneers coach, Rune Heartripper, called for a more focused effort to ban doping (most often in the form of strong dwarven ale) from Blood Bowl. Many reporters listening to the mad ravings of Heartripper told a tale of excessive whining, bordering on the extreme. Heartripper however, claims that he's never whined once in his entire life and that this misconception has started because he was once attacked and bitten in the throat by a slavering monster, and that has left his voice damaged and sounding slightly...thin. Most would call it whiny.
