Gildengrip's Goldminers have advanced to the MMBBL Finals, defeating the Low Blows 3-0 in a dangerous tilt. The Goldminers will now play The Dusk Hill Dirt Bursters in the championship match, while the Low Blows return to their mountain defeated, but not downhearted.
The offensive power of the Goldminers was never truly in question, but they were handed several setbacks by a Low Blows squad with nothing to lose and plenty of attitude. While the score itself favoured the Miners, the injury talley went 4 to 1 in favour of the Low Blows. It's hard to pick which casualty had the greatest significance - Troll Slayer Edgar Bagpunch actually punched Mick Mithril of the Gold Miners to death...in the bag. He was revived by the Gold Miners' skilled medic team, only to be stomped yet again in the second half. Cedric Eyegouge managed to raise some eyebrows and probably is responsible for the loss of countless kneecaps in the booking department, as he defied the odds and managed to push over the Cave-Gaper, the Goldminer's Deathroller. I've seen many broken-down 'rollers in my day, but never one that was actually busted up by the opposing team like that. Luckily for the Goldminers, the investment isn't ruined as their mechanics have got the situation under control.
The matter of actual scoring came as no surprise to longtime Goldminers fans. Gilgarry Goldrush scored the first touchdown of the game and Quincy McQuicksilver ran in the other two scores late in the second half. This duo of dynamic running backs has become the talk of the league through these playoffs, and they're definitely the players to watch for the Goldminers when they show up for the finals round.
MVPs for the match were Pinky Earpull of the Low Blows, with a solid protective presence on the line of scrimmage, and Starley O'Steel for the Goldminers, who continued is dominance out in front. Finnick Ferris had a great game as well for the miners, and has become a part of their plan for a perfect defense, while Orem Fullstock's agility training has made him stand out as a Blitzer with an amazing vertical leap.
With the end of this match, the Low Blows have announced that they will assume a casual role in future seasons, offering perhaps a surprise challenge to another coach every so often. Still, they'll remain as a part of the MMBBL's historic inaugural season, and the word out of Devil's Ass (their hometown mine community) is that every year to commemorate it, they're going to knock over, shove around, and otherwise mishandle several machine-tractors in honour of the Dwarf who knocked over a Deathroller.
The Finals are almost here! Get ready to crown the frst ever MMBBL champions!
