“Old World Rumble No. 1 is in the books, and the Mos Eisley Banthas have swept through the tournament to claim the crown, capitalizing on a pair of stellar individual performances and opposing QB Lou Calloway's struggles to post a 3-0 win over the Zoat Suit Riots.

The match saw the appearance of a bona fide Blood Bowl celebrity: Bomber Dribblesnot, who made a guest appearance with the Riots. Dribblesnot successfully threw all four of his explosive devices, delighting the crowd but not doing much damage before the refs managed to corral him. For Riots fans, this was the highlight of a disappointing first drive, which saw Lou Calloway repeatedly fail to secure the ball, finally get it in hand, and promptly knock himself out while blitzing the Banthas' Ponda Baba. Calloway, who had scored all five of the Riots' touchdowns, didn't return until late in the second half.

Assisted by team leader Wuher, Baba secured the loose ball, but tripped over his own feet in the end zone. Undaunted, he pulled off a highlight reel play in return, blitzing cornerback Toddy Elkus into the injury box and regaining the ball for a TD. The closing minutes of the first half were marred by tragedy as the Riots' Herb Ramirez was killed by a hobgoblin block. At halftime, the Riots' fans (somewhat predictably) rioted, and the second-half kickoff was delayed by several minutes.

The second half was as one-sided as the first, with Banthas running back Kabe receiving the ball and scoring a fairly easy touchdown. The Banthas kicked off up 2-0, but with Calloway out of the game, the Zoats continued to struggle with the ball, giving multiple Banthas players time to sprint into the backfield and sack the opposition. Ponda Baba, the star of the game, scored his second touchdown. With little time left on the clock, the Riots attempted to cut the margin down to 3-1, but a last-second pass failed.

This game concludes a remarkable tournament run for the Banthas, who scored 15 TDs over the Rumble's four games, allowing only one in return. With star runner BoShek back from injury, Mos Eisley hopes to carry their success forward into the upcoming Old World Brawl. ”
