[SL]UMBBL Shield XVIII (2000) - Finals

Princesses with the coin toss and choose to kick. Kicker Elsa drops an almost perfect kick relatively deep right on the sideline causing the Admirals to scramble back right away. Player juggling for 2 turns, then a bad dodge leaves Illyrnain to get knocked into the crowd for a KO. Angered by this Yeherain immediately gouges Belle's eye to even up the numbers.
Two more turns and the Pricesses get the opportunity to steal the ball. That leaves them bunched up as perfect fireball targets however and the Wizard lets fly. We're not sure what went wrong with the casting...too high maybe, but the fireball fails to knock a single one of the four targets down. Perhaps he was just an illusionist.
While the Admiral coaching staff is quietly stuffing the useless wizard in a dumpster, on the field the blitzers do their job and manage to pop the ball free. Unfortunately a bad bounce leaves them unable to recover it, leaving the Princesses able to scoop it up and run away to stall out the rest of the half.
Bad KO rolls for both teams see the second half with the Princesses down 10 players to 11, so they opt for a quick score to get their player back and pretty much seal the win. Again the KOs don't come back. With 6 turns left, the Admirals push to try to get a quick score, but guard Dirnain gets KOed followed by a bad dodge by the Admirals QB and the Princesses run away with the ball again to stall out the rest of the game.
Tough match up for the Sea Elves, We wish them well in their future endeavors.
