Broncos punish the Sinners The Kingsbane Broncos have come out of the Corona Virus postponement of the season with a sluggish win over the Sunset Sinners.
A healthy crowd turned up with perfect Blood Bowl weather and as the teams were running into the pitch, it was obvious that Thrustin Wedges has been given a Spiked Sports Drink as he started acting Really Stupid.
The Broncos received first, and seeing that both Lord Borak and Max Spleenripper has been hire’s by the Sinners, they wanted to stamp their authority, although Max wasn’t on for the first drive.
The Broncos targeted Lord Borak with their first blitz, and even piled on, despite the rush of a sneaky boot. And the Boy came quickly, with the Foulest of Fouls resulting in Apex Den being Knocked Out for the rest of the match.
Being a little rusty, the Broncos missed some opportunities to hurt their opponents effectively and often left them stunned, or missed opportunities to crowd surf them, and when they failed a dodge and lost control of the ball, it was a few minutes before they could assert dominance again and make a break downfield.
Once downfield though and things looking to be back on track, the Broncos decided to stall until the end of the half. But just before the half ended, a hidden pair of Knuckledusters knocked the ball free. And when the Broncos tried to collect the call again to score, they just couldn’t handle it and walked into the sheds without scoring.
After the break the Broncos came out with a man disadvantage, but their experience started to show through and after bashing their way to a numbers advantage, it was obvious that an All-out Blitz was going to give them the edge they needed. They secured the ball immediately and made for the end zone again, this time getting across the line. But not before the Sinners got angry and decided to Get ‘Em Lads, to little effect.
With just a few minutes remaining and more of a numbers advantage, the Broncos pushed hard to try and score 1 final time, but again struggled to handle the ball and were unable to get another TD. |

Broncos please the Golden gods The Kingsbane Broncos have stood on the throat of the Golden 13 in their latest match and not gotten off until the siren sounded, scoring twice, nearly 3 times and causing many casualties along the way.
It started of with a good crowd rolling in and some well known stars being recruited for the Golden 13. They had Skitter Stab-Stab and Headsplitter to help boost the numbers, as well as a Wizard, some extra training, a Bloodweiser Keg and a Bribe.
The Broncos received the first kick and went about making their hits count early, to help set a tone for their intentions in the match. with 4 hits they were able to stun 2 opponents and injure another 2 to give themselves a good advantage.
Collecting the ball shortly after, a Lightning Bolt appeared out of the Dugouts, however missed everything and everyone meaning the Broncos had little else to worry about in their push to score.
Through the rest of the half, the Broncos positioned themselves to try inflict as much hurt as possible, including fouling vigorously, which resulted in a Hobgoblin getting caught, but only once he inflicted a Niggling Injury on Giznat Skaa.
Skitter was an ever present pest though and as the half was drawing to a close, he managed to find a weak spot in the armour of Thrustin Wedges to make him drop the ball. The Broncos however were still in a decent position to vie for the ball, and successfully collected it to score as the siren sounded for half time.
As the second half kicked off, a Quick Snap helped Headsplitter get in range for a Blitz, however he lost himself in his excitement and was put down by his opponent. This opened up the opportunity for the Broncos to collect an unmanned ball and after hurting a number of other Skaven along the way, they scored to give themselves a chance at a 3rd TD.
As they game continued, the Golden 13 valiantly fought on despite being so short on numbers. The Broncos were able to easily overwhelm them though and were soon in possession again and close to scoring.
As the siren was about to sound though, a desperate attempt at 1 more casualty meant that a Broncos player stumbled trying to get a last Blitz in, meaning they were unable to get a 3rd TD.
Next up for the Broncos is their oldest rival coach and his Sunset Sinners. |

Broncos walk through Mouth of the Fire The Kingsbane Broncos have surged in the second half of their latest game against the Fire Mouth Maneaters to continue their unbeaten run this season.
The Maneaters seemed like massive underdogs coming into the match with over 1.25 million GP to spend. And spent it they did, hiring Bob Bifford, a mercenary Ogre, a mercenary Runt Punter, a Halfling Master Chef, a Halfling Hotpot, some infamous coaching staff in Horatio and a Rabble to boost their numbers further. In the end it resulted in the Maneaters have 7 players St5 or over, 21 players in total, 3 fireballs and taking 4 rerolls.
The Broncos fans made the trip in droves and initially would have been disappointed by their team, who seemed to be stuttering in the first half. They could barely punch out of a wet paper bag, let alone break Gnoblar armour and when they had a chance to stop a break away from the Maneaters, tripped over and hardly slowed them at all. They were able to put the pressure on, however they weren't able to stop them scoring.
Then the heavens opened up and the ball seemed to be 2 after a ball clone which seemed to make life near impossible for the out of sorts Broncos who hardly threatened to score as the first half came to an end.
The sky cleared for the second half though and after a stern talk at the break, the Broncos came out determined, with some Endurance Training benefiting them to match numbers.
A Sprinkler Malfunction still wasn't enough to slow down the Broncos, with ball in hand, their confidence rose and they started finally removing Maneaters players from the pitch and managed to score midway through the half, not being content with the idea of a draw.
With the rain falling again late in the game, the Broncos pushed their luck and drove hard downfield to where the ball lay, they got themselves in position to strike and when Bob Bifford failed to dodge clear of a Broncos player, an opening appeared which the Broncos took. As the clock slowly ticked down, the Broncos managed to get a go ahead TD with mere seconds left on the clock.
From the next kick-off, the weather didn't change and the Maneaters got a Quick Snap, however they were more preoccupied with bashing late in the game and unfortunately found the Broncos player better equipped for it, ending any chance of a draw. |

Broncos show Lions true pride The Kingsbane Broncos were again treated to three presence of another star in their latest game against the Chrace Lions, a game in which the Broncos were able to put on their most points of the year to win 3-1.
Despite the Broncos fans outnumbering the Lions fans, it was obvious that they were Friendly Fans and the presence of Johnny Water Boy on the sideline had the Lions feeling a little better. The real kicker for them though, was having royalty in the house, as Prince Moranion joined their team for the game.
The Broncos received first and made their presence felt quickly with 2 Lions of the pitch within the first moments of the game. However with things slowing after that, they stalled their drive a little which allowed a Wizard who was obviously a fan of the Lions to strike down the ball carrier with a Lightning Bolt. With the ball free, the Lions tried to quickly get it or of the Broncos reach, but stumbled in doing so, and the Broncos got the ball back straight away.
A Rune of Unwilling Flight was next and changed the point of the Broncos attack to the other side of the field, however they were still able to keep control of the ball and score right at the end of the first half.
The Lions spent the second half trying to lure the Broncos into stretching the field, however a well engineered Kingmaker Play allowed the Broncos to secure the ball anyway and score early in the second half to lead 2-1.
The next drive the Lions were able to sneak in a touchdown to get within sight, however as the clock was running down at the start of the next drive, the Broncos started to really hurt the Lions and were nearly unchallenged as they waltzed in for a final TD right on the siren. |

Broncos leave their own Trail of Dead The Kingsbane Broncos have taught their foolish cousins a lesson in Blood Bowl after pushing through a little scare and securing the 1-0 win.
The TTOD came and spent their money from the inducements, bringing out a Deathroller and hiring Flint Churnblade as well as some bribes and wandering apothecaries.
It gave the TTOD some courage and the decided to receive from the kick-off. They started keen as well, pushing their way downfield, however it all came unstuck when Flint couldn't control his chainsaw and took his own head off.
After this the TTOD danced around trying to avoid being hit, but they slowly fell away on the numbers and it wasn't long before the Broncos were able to knock the ball free, collect it up themselves and score right at the end of the half to take the lead.
In the second half, the Deathroller was conveniently ignored by the referee which helped the TTOD believe they were still in with a shot. And after a little stutter by the Broncos, they pushed down some pressure on the Broncos.
The Broncos decided to try pass their way out of trouble, however the TTOD plucked the ball out of the sky, intercepting it and making a break for it.
Being dwarves though, they were too slow to get away and were caught soon after. Whilst they weren't able to score themselves, they were able to stop the Broncos getting another score to keep the game close. |

Broncos block out the Sunz The Kingsbane Broncos have continued a successful start to the season with a hard fought win over the Crimson Sunz, and managing to keep them scoreless at the same time, winning 2-0.
After starting with 2 journeyman and seeing a stack of mercenaries line up for the Sunz, the Broncos realised the importance of bashing hard to sort some sort of advantage.
The Broncos received first and managed to slowly remove Sunz from the pitch, mainly into the KO bin though and very few casualties. It was enough to give the Broncos a comfortable first TD which they scored right near the half time break.
After half time the Sunz got themselves a numbers advantage early, but stuttered in their push to get the ball downfield. But with a small opening, Thrustin Wedges Blitzed the ball free and soon after recovered the ball.
With ball in hand, the Broncos were able to streak downfield and seal the game with a second touchdown on the siren. |

Broncos Batting 100 for the season The Kingsbane Broncos have made a successful return to the WCL with a tough win in Sweltering Heat against the much less fancied Vampire team Batting Off.
The match was a grudge match between the coaches who have quite a history, and whilst coached Jinxed wasn't thinking himself a serious chance with his rookie team, he pushed hard for as positive a result as he could. The help of a Halfling Master Chef, a Wizard and Wilhelm Chaney among other things.
Whilst the weather helped keep the crowd away, the Broncos still had a healthy crowd at the season opening event and looked to just take it easy through the first half so not to suffer from the heat too much.
But they didn't have it all their own way, suffering some casualties and some accurate fireballs to disrupt their drive, but ultimately, they were still able to score and take the 1-0 lead.
At the start of the match the crowd were obviously agitated from the heat and Rioted, but as the half was coming to an end, they obviously decided they wanted to see a full match, so Rioted again. It didn't help the Batting though as the score remained 1-0
In the second half though, the Sweltering Heat, Knockouts and Injuries had played their part in reducing the numbers of the Broncos as they were only able to field 6 players. Despite this they pushed the Batting to the limit and nearly caused a turnover, but missed out and ultimately weren't able to stop them scoring, levelling the game.
But with a quarter of the game remaining, the heat abated and the Broncos were able to get more players on the pitch, enough to ensure they could protect the ball and devote the victory right on the siren, winning 2-1. |

Broncos stampede to Fabulous victory The Kingsbane Broncos have lived up to the bookies expectations by winning the WCL S5 Grand Final against a gallant Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers outfit that just didn't get firing.
The Broncos managed to sell every possible ticket they could with their seat allocations completely exhausted and creating a great atmosphere at the Broncos home stadium.
And with a solid crowd behind them, the Broncos figured their best plan was to secure the ball and play a controlled game where they moved the ball with plenty of teammates nearby.
The Brothers were confident at the start of the match, nominating one of their gutter runners as a Star Ascendant due to his passing ability. And also looked to pin the Broncos deep early with an Inch Perfect Kick. However the Broncos found that some Brilliant Coaching got them in a good position to deal with the deep kick.
The first half wasn't exactly pretty to watch, but as the Brothers committed to the Broncos weaker edge, the Broncos were comfortably able to move to their stronger edge and cage up around the ball, slowly removing as many Brothers from the pitch as they could. Late in the first half, there were only 2 Brothers left on the pitch with many Knocked Out, which meant the Broncos scored untouched and took a 1-0 lead into the half.
The second half saw the Brothers receive and really push for a quick TD, but numerous failed pick up attempts saw them stutter before finally securing the ball and leaping away for an equalising score.
With the ball coming back to them, the Broncos again saw the Brothers push to dominate 1 side, however despite their speed, the Broncos still managed to secure a cage that reduced the Brothers chances of catching the ball carrier.
A less than inspiring display from the Broncos Minotaur meant that the cage was found to have a weak corner at 1 point, which the Brothers tried to exploit, however the superior strength of the Broncos players meant that even despite being blitzed by a strip ball gutter runner, they were able to knock him down instead before advancing up the field and watching the Brothers desperately try really for 1 final hit.
The blitz never eventuated though, which allowed the Broncos to clear the ball carrier up and stroll in for the game deciding TD.
The Broncos played a very subdued game with little creativity regarding movement of the ball throughout the match, but held the Brothers comfortably at bay for the solid win and the teams first championship. |

Tainted afflicted by Nurgle's Bane The Kingsbane Broncos have advanced to the Grand Final after dispatching the Tennessee Tainted during a hard fought Semi Final match which they won 2-0. Playing the Tainted completed the cycle for the Broncos, playing and defeating all 3 Nurgle teams in the league this season.
The Tainted were obviously excited about making the Semi Final and organised a Promo Tour in honour of the occasion, which lead to the largest crowd of the season attending the match.
It was the Broncos who were to receive first though, and their smaller band of fans though maybe an Off-colour Chant might put the Tainted off, although it seemed maybe to fire them up, as they Blitzed from the kick-off.
They weren't able to make much of an impression on the Broncos though, who started getting the most blocks against their opponents which helped find a crease down the left hand side defence of the Tainted. Both teams took a while to get warmed up in regards to their hitting, however it was the Broncos who found form first.
It started with removing a Rotter before Apex Den found himself in a relatively safe position to Pile On to Mortarion and Badly Hurt him. The recently hired Phage Doctor came running out to try instil the resilience of Nurgle with him, however with Apex Den still digging the elbow in, Mortarion was still not able to recover.
Late in the half the Broncos were aware of the wizard still hiding amongst the Tainted's coaching staff, however took the gamble to drag out the drive anyway. A Lightning Bolt came crashing down shortly afterwards, but merely grazed the Marry-Us Droid.
How once Anything Killboard was killed, it created enough of a distraction that they 3 Broncos around the pestigor who failed to pick up the lose ball, became a bit confused and a bit Boneheaded. It wasn't enough to completely distract them though as Marry-Us Droid blitzed the Pestigor into the crowd and collected the ball to score.
In the second half the Tainted pushed hard down an edge and looked for a moment to gain some ascendancy by Badly Hurting Thrustin Wedges, however it wasn't long before the Broncos again steadied and pushed their advantage again.
With the Tainted's biggest star Epidemius trying to be a hero for the Tainted, but falling over in his haste, the Broncos were able to recover the ball and inflict more pain on the Tainted before sealing the victory with their second TD right on the siren.
Next for the Broncos is the quick and numerous Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers in what is sure to be an enthralling Grand Final. |

Broncos trample the Wood to twigs The Kingsbane Broncos have found their way back into the winners circle against the only team to beat them through the regular season, winning their Quarter Final match against the Mourning Wood 2-0.
The Wood announced the game as a bit of a Promo Tour for themselves, however they still weren't able to get as many fans as the Broncos overall. It did attract Zara the Slayer though to help boost the player numbers for the Wood.
It was the Wood who received first, but quickly found themselves surrounded by the Broncos and feeling desperate early. In their desperation they tried to pass their way out of trouble, but a failed catch left them out of position.
The Broncos quickly got around the ball and played a stalking game with the ball in hand with every intent to hurt the Wood as much as possible. The Broncos were able to remove most the Wood from the field either by injuries, KO's or crowd surfs.
Whilst stalling the Wood stopped the Broncos using a Tripping Hazard, and found their way to the ball and knocked it into the crowd, however the crowd kept the ball near the Broncos who were still able to recover the ball and scored on the siren.
In the second half, Strong Gusts, an active Halfling Master Chef and an Inch Perfect Kick saw the Broncos decide that a more controlled movement of the ball was in order.
When the Minotaur triple skulled really as well, the Broncos had to again make sure they reset and organised themselves. A failed dodge from Zara during an attempted Blitz though game them the moment they needed and from here the Broncos just trampled the Wood.
A slow drive with repeated bashing saw the Wood down to just 2 players on the pitch who weren't off the ground much before the 2nd and sealing TD was scored by the Broncos.
The Broncos will now face off against the 3rd Nurgle team in the competition, the Tennessee Tainted, to ensure they play all of the Nurgle teams through the season. |

Dragons unable to out sprint the Broncos The Kingsbane Broncos have finished the season with a draw against another experienced team in the Emerald Dragons.
The game had more riding on it than just finals places, with the Coaches having a season long side bet. This bet saw the Broncos coach settle for just a draw rather than going for the win, saving him from too much embarrassment of not being able to decide which team he leads to glory.
It was the Dragons who received first and were able to score straight away, happy to just try put the scoreboard pressure straight on.
From the next kick-off, the Broncos had to scramble as the Dragons Blitzed and got the ball themselves. However some composure and patience from the Broncos saw them recover the ball and grind their way down the pitch. with a large numbers advantage, the Dragons spent the last few turns of the half telling their players to stay on the ground so they could reset and try defend in the second half.
In the second half, the Broncos again looked to grind, however knew the Dragons could always level the game, so pushed hard to score, this is when the crowd showed their love for the Broncos. As a ball scattered into the crowd after it was stripped by the Dragons, and they threw it around amongst themselves for a bit before throwing it right back to the Thrustin Wedges who caught it easily.
A Pitch Invasion from the next kick-off meant that the Dragons were unable to get the OTTD they might have hoped for. They still pushed deep though and despite losing the ball momentarily, they were again able to strip the ball and throw it downfield and dodge away for a levelling TD.
At the final kick-off the Dragons tried a pinpoint kick, however it still bounced off the pitch which meant the Broncos were able to secure possession.
After shifting all the Dragons to one side of the field the Broncos were in position to score and not be caught, with such confidence, they decide to start fouling a bit with the last foul seen by the Ref and thus ending the game with no further change to the score.
The Broncos will head into the finals after finishing top in their division and await to see their opponent and thankfully come into the match healthy. |

Broncos in Mourning The Kingsbane Broncos have suffered an unexpected loss in a big boilover where the Mourning Wood were able to get the wood on the Broncos with a 3-2 win.
The Wood were able to receive first and didn't waste any time in scoring.
From there the Broncos had every intention of controlling the ball and grinding the Wood into saw dust, however they were very poor in controlling the ball and it wasn't long before the they were able to dance in and collect the ball themselves.
Heading into the second half the Broncos still hadn't managed to get on the score board.
In the second half the Broncos finally managed to get over the line going quickly, and from the next kick-off tried to put pressure on. However the Wood were able to get the ball free and Punted the ball deep down the other end where the broncos were unable to get in touch with it.from here the Wood were able to recover the ball and lead 3-1.
The Broncos pushed hard to get back into the match, however the clock proved to be their enemy, as once they actually scored, there was no time to get the levelling score. |

All the Kings Soldiers suffer The Kingsbane Broncos have laid on as much punishment as they could against a determined Scrap Iron Soldiers who pushed the Broncos right to the last turn before the Broncos secured a 2-1 win.
The game started with a lot of fan fare as the Broncos announced it as a Promo Tour and naming Morey Darker as a Star Ascendant.
During all the celebrations getting set up for the game, it was noted that Thrustin Wedges wasn't himself beefier staff found the Spiked Sports Drink which left Wedges feeling Really Stupid.
The Broncos however didn't mind and still sent play towards him and went as hard as they could trying to hurt the Soldiers, succeeding frequently in removing Soldiers from the field.
In a fairly quick first half, the Broncos were able to safely score and lead 1-0 at the break. In the second half however, the tides started to turn a little.
The Halfling Master Chef brought along by the Soldiers was making better food by the second half and distracting the Broncos easily. This lead to the Soldiers begging able to push quickly down field and equalise in quick time.
Later in the half, the Soldiers really took it to the Broncos as the Broncos struggled to control the ball at times. With a scrum forming, the Soldiers kept pressing for possession off the ball with one Blitzer getting Up Like A Shot to put himself in the frame to release the ball.
Unfortunately he wasn't able to move the ball far Berrie the Broncos closed in. The Soldiers showed some Dogged Defence though and continued to slow the Broncos, before the Broncos superior strength started to show through and a fresher Thrustin Wedges was able to make a break.
The Soldiers weren't giving up the chase though and despite some attempted Pre-Match Espionage, they still pushed hard after Wedges, however his superior speed proved crucial as the Soldiers stumbled as soon as they got close which allowed Wedges to sprint into the End Zone and score inn the final whistle and getting the late win for the Broncos. |

Fisting done best by a Clawed Bronco The Kingsbane Broncos pushed straight into the second half of the regular season immediately after their last match, playing Praag Fisting and coming away with a 3-1 win.
The Broncos were down a Chaos Dwarf for this match and had a little less claw on the pitch, however this didn't deter them as they pushed hard for big hits in front of a record crowd for the season so far.
The Fisting brought in some big hitters of their won, being Ripper, a mercenary Troll and Ugroth Bulgrot as well as another Apothecary and a Wizard, however it didn't seem to help them as the 2 remaining claw players from the Broncos made up for their friend that was missing.
The Broncos were able to stall the first Fisting drive relatively easily, and even though a lightning bolt may have slowed them down, they were able to still turn the Fisting around and secure the ball for themselves to score.
With another kick-off came more big hits from the Broncos and again they were able to push deep, Thrustin Wedges being pushed into range of the End Zone, giving him a chance to Jump Up, Blitz, get the good bounce of the ball, pick it up and Sprint for the End Zone to push the lead to 2-0 at the half.
In the second half the Broncos had 2 balls to deal with a as Ball Clone was discovered, meaning they had to divert some players away from hitting, so after a bit of smashing and dancing around the pitch, they scored instead of dragging the bash game out, giving them a 3-0 win.
With the game comfortable secure coming into the dying moments of the game, the Broncos tried to hamper the Fisting who got into a scoring position, but being greedy for a big hit, saw a Chaos Dwarf wrong footed and put on his butt instead. From here the Fisting pushed the gap out for themselves and scored on the final siren to give themselves a bit of respectability to the scoreline. |

Broncos the new teller of Horror Stories The Kingsbane Broncos have continued their run through the early rounds, getting another victory to sit undefeated at the halfway point of the regular season after a 2-0 win over the Vaccine Horror Stories.
VHS decided to bring the big boys to the game, with Morg 'n' Thorg and Tolly Glocklinger being hired to join the fray and try smash the Broncos around.
The Broncos fans piled into the stadium and it got Gloomy straight away in the Dwarven Stadium, possibly hampering the Bulls for the Broncos. It was also evidently making it hard for the VHS players to complete any passes themselves or effectively move the ball.
The Broncos tightened noose and soon started to remove the VHS players from the field before recovering the ball themselves.
From here the Broncos tried themselves to pass the ball in relative safety, however found it just as hard and instead had to just run the ball in without a completion.
Having had Morg 'n' Thorg fairly well suppressed for the first half, VHS decided to bring on Tolly, however he was targeted straight away and knocked down, removing him from the game.
The second half was more of the same for the Broncos, getting control of the ball and grinding hard to remove VHS players from the field.
The Broncos have shown a particular dislike for Rotters through this season though, having Killed 4 and Seriously Injuring 1 other.
Next up is a rookie Orc team hoping to remain competitive in the division. |

Broncos the Killers of Nuffle The Kingsbane Broncos have taken top spot of The Judge division with a win over their less fancied division opponents, the Nuffle Killers, with a 3-2 victory in which they focused more on scoring rather than grinding.
The Broncos had announced to the members that they would be doing a Promo Tour in which the focus would be scoring more with Thrustin Wedges, as a result, many a Broncos fan turned up, with 3 times as many Broncos fans in attendance.
They started in a controlled manner and pushed hard down one edge after receiving, before they forced a gap back on the other edge to sneak through and get the first score of the match.
From the next kick-off, the Broncos set up with Perfect Defence which allowed them the chance to push the Killers hard, turning them over and recovering the ball. Once in possession again, Thrustin was showing his dodging skills which must have mesmerised the Killers hired Wizard who missed with his lightning bolt, allowing Thrustin to score again before the half and have a 2-0 lead as the half.
In the second half the Killers got a Quick Snap which helped them push for chance to claw back the score, however they spent ages trying to pick up the ball. The Broncos started to man up against the Killers and even got close to recovering the ball, getting right next to it. However a failed block by the Minotaur created the slightest chance for the Killers and they made the most of it. The mercenary thrower finally recovered the ball despite it being in a tackle zone, dodged away and got a pass to the catcher who managed to Go For It twice to get on the board.
From the next kick-off a thrown rock unexpectedly hit a Broncos player, but it did little to stall their attack as Thrustin again scooted down the sideline for a 3-1 lead with only moments left in the game.
The Killers again rode their luck as in their last chance to score in the game resulted in them doing an uphill block which succeeded in the end, followed by a long bomb, the catch and a Go For It to scrape another score for themselves.
This lucky play started a Riot which gave the Broncos chance to score again themselves. And after catching an inaccurate pass in a tackle zone and dodging into 2, Marry-Us Droid failed to dodge into free space for the opportunity to score and extend the lead.
A comfortable victory in the end for the Broncos who were always in control, however disappointed the scoreboard doesn't reflect the dominance shown. |

Broncos remove the Rots The Kingsbane Broncos have come out on top in the heavy weight bout against the Pussrots winning late in the game 2-1.
The Broncos received first after the Pussrots had more fans at the game who ended up being Friendly Fans despite their Off-Coloured Chants. The Broncos weren't worried though, going about silencing the crowd so they could hear all the Pussrots coach advice he had for his team.
After getting into a bit of a roll and throwing the harder punches in the first half, the Broncos decided that taking advantage of the numbers they had was the best move. By the time they scored just prior to the end of the first half, their were only 3 Pussrots left on the pitch with 2 dead, 1 Missing the Next Game and another regenerating their Niggling Injury.
At the start of the second half, some Endurance Training made sure the Broncos had a full compliment of players on the pitch, however the Pussrots weren't laying down and started to push hard downfield themselves. A few ineffective Blitzes by the Broncos meant they couldn't hold out the Pussrots, however there was enough pressure that the Pussrots couldn't wind down the clock too much.
Late in the second half the Broncos had to battle some Perfect Defence but were still able to secure the ball with a little bit of security before pushing hard with an All-Out Blitz to break into the backfield and put themselves into a position to win. The Pussrots didn't have fast enough or agile enough players to get near the Broncos in the backfield which allowed them to secure the win and focus on bringing the hurt to a bunch of rookie teams. |

Broncos Kickers ahead for the win The Kingsbane Broncos have kicked off a highly anticipated campaign in which they have huge expectations upon them with a solid win over a vastly inexperienced opponent. The Broncos played the Crypt Kickers for their opening game of the season and were able to walk away with a 2-0 win.
The Broncos fans were happy to travel at what would be considered the Kickers home ground with 3 times as many Broncos fans rocking up. Which is literally how the match started, with a Thrown Rock stunning Thrustin Wedges and Knocking Out a zombie.
The Broncos received first and with the Bull Centaur being laid out, the rest of the team knew they needed to hit hard early on to give him time to collect the ball.
It was a former captain in Slam Fry Flay who started the strongest, Badly Hurting an opponent before Killing another shortly after (however both regenerated).
The Broncos played a very controlled first half, hurting their opponents with regularity, injury 4 opponents in the first half.
A Tripping Hazard was left out on the field by the Kickers ground keeping staff which tripped up Thrustin Wedges, but he recovered quickly and scooped up the ball again before any Kickers could get too close.
The Broncos scored late in the half, however there was still time for the Kickers to try score themselves which they pushed hard to do, although a strong Blitz by Mack Freed stopped any thoughts of scoring in the first half by the Kickers.
The second half started with a Riot which all the players enjoyed watching despite the time continuing to tick.
The Kickers pushed themselves hard down an edge and their coach thought he'd got himself back into the match revealing his King Maker play which had already been suspected to be used by the Broncos coach, however the timing wasn't right, therefore it wasn't able to be used and the Broncos were able to eliminate the sideline threat with an All-Out Blitz before the Kickers coach could set up the play again.
From here the Broncos trusted their abundance of fans to get the ball in a good position for themselves which was faith well placed. From here the Broncos were able to break away to secure a 2-0 win, only laying on the hurt again late in the game with containment having been the first priority.
Next up for the Broncos is fellow division heavy weights, The Pussrots, in a match that could possibly decide the division winner, even so early in the season. |

Broncos not the best Trotters The Kingsbane Broncos have fallen short in their efforts for a championship against the defending champions and equally talented team in the Harlequin Globetrotters.
The match plan was pretty simple from the Broncos, hit hard and protect the ball. Neither parts of those plans were executed well by the Broncos in the early stages of the match.
The Broncos were able to get a few Knock-outs early, however they still weren't holding the ball well, twice having the ball knocked free, and only saved by the fact that the Globetrotters were unable to capitalise.
The Broncos eventually regathered the ball and got themselves down the field and scored the opening TD. From there they were still able to hold out the Globetrotters before halftime.
The second half was going to be a similar game plan. The Broncos knew it would be unlikely to keep the Globetrotters scoreless after not injuring enough of them.
The Globetrotters got their expected equalizer, however from here, the Broncos began pushing their opponents rather than knocking them over. This helped the Globetrotters get into a good position and turnover the ball once again. This time however the Globetrotters were able to take advantage and score the go ahead TD.
The Broncos had a very unlikely chance right at the end of the match to drag it to overtime, however the failure to pick up the ball meant they didn't even get to try the long bomb and fell short of glory. |

Broncos trample over the Sands The Kingsbane Broncos have secured a birth in the WAFFL Open Season 2 Grand Final with a convincing win against the Restless Sands despite very few games played through the season..
The Broncos were the heavy favourites heading into the match, but the Sands brought some things to try even the ledger, with a Wizard and Johnny Waterboy in the dugout, plenty of Friendly Fans in the crowd and a Rakarth's Curse of Petty Spite cast upon the Thrustin Wedges.
The Sands were the first to receive and were clearly intimidated with their disappointing display of blocking early on. The Broncos took advantage of their poor blocking technique and showed just how savage they could be with 4 casualties caused in the first 3 turns, with only one player Regenerating and a Tomb Guardian being Killed.
With a lack of numbers to support themselves, the Broncos were able to push unimpeded to the ball carrier with the Minotaur knocking the ball free.
Once it was free it wasn't long before it was knocked around on the ground, before being pushed to the Minotaur who quickly scooped it up.
The Sands coach quickly called for the Wizard to cast a Fireball, however it knocked over 2 players without the ball, only Knocking Out a hobgoblin, but leaving the Minotaur still standing with the ball.
From here the Minotaur decided it was his responsibility to score, which he happily did.
Into the second half, the Broncos had a heavy numbers advantage as Johnny Waterboy didn't really encourage many players back.
Knowing the handling of the Sands left a lot to be desired, the Broncos got cocky with their target for their next TD, sending the Minotaur into the endzone and throwing the ball to him many times.
Whilst the Minotaur was struggling to catch the ball again, the Broncos kept bashing away at the Sands players, Killing another Tomb Guardian and injuring 7 players in total.
With mere moments left in the match, the Broncos again tried to get the Minotaur another TD, and as the siren sounded, he successfully caught the ball and ended the match 2-0 for the Broncos. |

Broncos become Kings of the Tombs The Kingsbane Broncos have played their second game of the season against one of the oldest opponents possible in the form of the Chenai Super Tomb Kings.
The Broncos started the game in amazing fashion by coming and and hitting unlike any other game they've played so far.
The Broncos were hitting that hard that it hardly seemed like their opponents had remembered to put their armour on when they walked onto the pitch.
Through the first half the Broncos were able to cause 5 casualties and 5 Knock Outs leaving just one Tomb King on the pitch when they eventually decided to score.
Due to their powerful hitting and also the potential of chainsaw from the star player Hack Enslash coming onto the field, the Broncos tried all they could to ensure he had limited opportunities. Thankfully their game plan worked out, as when Hack Enslash got onto the pitch just prior to half time, he was able to Knock Out a Broncos player before he was spotted by the ref and ejected from the game.
The second half saw the Tomb Kings regroup and play like they were actually meant to from the start of the game. The Tomb Kings made the slightest of breaks, but it was enough once their Thro-Ra sent the ball well down field with a Hail Mary Pass.
With the scores now level, the Broncos had to make sure of their final drive to get the win. A touchback and an unexpected injury, due to being Blitzed, forced the Broncos to change their plans. With the opportunity to have the ball in the hands of the any player, the Broncos went with the unexpected move of putting the ball in the hands of Chaos Dwarf Gosh DaWire.
The Broncos played a little unconventional play from here to get him free, but it all paid off when he was able to break away into the backfield and score the winning TD right on the siren, sealing a 2-1 win for the Broncos. |

Broncos prove they are the Chosen Ones The Kingsbane Broncos have been able to work out a deal with the coach of The Scaled Chosen Ones to line up what they thought might be an unlikely match.
After a solid season in the first WAFFL season, the Broncos thought they might struggle to find opponents through the second season. However there has been an opponent gutsy enough to step up and they stepped up early.
The Chosen Ones showed early they may indeed be the favoured ones when they unleashed a Fireball from their Wizard right from the kick-off. The Fireball was quite effective, knocking down the Minotaur, Stunning a Chaos Dwarf and injuring a Claw Chaos Dwarf.
This early favour continued for the Chosen Ones through the first half with star players effectively using their tools, whether it be a chainsaw or a shiv to cause more Broncos players to be removed from the game.
The Chosen Ones were shown by Nuffle though that his favour only lasts so long. The Chosen Ones held off when they had an opportunity to run deep into the Broncos backfield with the ball, trying instead to continue to cause casualties. The Broncos rallied when they saw their opportunity though, and managed to pick up the loose ball themselves and run away to score against the run of play in the first half. This ensure the Broncos headed into the break with the lead.
The second half however saw the Broncos manage to get the ascendancy with numbers. The Broncos continued to pressure the Chosen Ones and started to creep back and overtake the Chosen Ones for casualties caused.
The Broncos were able to combine this with also Knocking Out their opponents to see the Chosen Ones only having 4 players on the pitch by the end of the drive.
Whilst the Chosen Ones didn't give up, and pushed the Broncos hard to ear their second TD, they were undone by the numbers advantage against them.
The Broncos once into space, made sure of the result and pushed for the extra TD as quickly as they could.
With a few minutes remaining in the game, the Chosen Ones looked to make some sort of a comeback, if they could get some players back. Unfortunately for them though, no Knocked Out player could recover in time, and they were unable to gain any sort of momentum. meaning the Broncos won the match 2-0. |

Broncos destroy their Demons The Kingsbane Broncos have overcome their disappointment of a Semi final loss to line up against the Dark Wood Demons in the 3rd Place playoff.
With anger in their hearts, the Broncos went on a casualty causing rampage with Apex Den keeping his injury causing streak through the finals going.
The Broncos kept their focus in this match on the bashing side of the game, whilst still making sure they stayed ahead on the scoreboard.
The Broncos got out to a 2-0 lead before letting the Demons in. The Broncos then spent the final moments of the game trying to extend the lead again with very few of the Demons left on the pitch, unfortunately they were unable to capitalise and had to settle with the 2-1 win to secure 3rd place in the first season of the WAFFL open. |

Shoguns halt the Broncos charge The Semi Final saw the Kingsbane Broncos lining up against one of their tougher opponents from the season, the Sengoku Shoguns.
The Shoguns had learnt their lesson from earlier in the season and hired as many apothecaries as they could to ensure they had as many key players on the pitch as possible.
The Broncos started strong and injured opponents and scored early. The resulting drive proved to be a turning point for the Broncos though.
The Broncos tried to halt the Shoguns push for a TD. The failed Blitz by a Bull Centaur which resulted in him being injured seemed to make the Broncos drop their heads. The Shoguns levelled the game soon after.
Just before the halftime break the kickoff saw the Minotaur decide that holding the ball is a good idea. Unfortunately he couldn't follow up on that good idea and get the ball to a team mate,which meant that the Broncos could not score before the break.
In the second half the Shoguns kept pressing hard and despite having some players removed from the pitch, the apothecaries kept them coming back. Soon after they found themselves in the lead.
The Broncos were desperate now to get level, but with morale down, their couldn't must an equaliser, instead they found themselves getting turned over and the Shoguns running in another TD before the end of the game.
This was the first defeat for the Broncos and meant they would instead play for 3rd place rather than the Grand Final. |

Broncos overcome the Toxic The Kingsbane Broncos entered into the WAFFL Open's first finals carnival with an undefeated record and were matched up early against another favourite for the finals, the other undefeated team the Nurgland Toxics II.
The match was a very dour affair with the Toxics showing they can keep a tight defence. The Broncos however bashed their way through the defence causing a few injuries on the way.
With the Toxics managing to stay in control of the ball for the first half, the game was level at half time, which suited the Broncos who would receive in the second half.
Once they received the kickoff, the Broncos went about bashing their way to grind out a late score to secure the win and head to the Semi Final with a 1-0 win. |

Broncos faster than a Trotter The Kingsbane Broncos have ended their allotted 8 games for season 1 with a come from behind win over the Harlequin Globetrotters.
The Globetrotters received first, and whilst they had their veterans on the pitch, they made the Broncos play fetch as they moved the ball around them with ease. The did however leave the new journeyman in doubt with his position on the team, with the coach giving him clear instructions to get rid of the Minotaur, not caring at all if the Slam Fry-Flay mutilated him, which happened with consummate ease.
After forcing them to stop the games, the Broncos went about trying to even the score, however after being full of confidence from hurting one elf, Slam Fry-Flay tried again, only to fall down himself also, this opened up enough space for the globetrotters to flood deep and subsequently push out to a 2-0 lead.
With time fading in the first half, the Broncos knuckled down and caged to a sideline with the intent of grinding a new path. The globetrotters tried to throw up some obstacles, but were unable to stop the Broncos from closing the gap to 2-1 at the half.
The second half saw the Broncos receive again, and with confidence growing from the first TD, they tried a similar tactic, this time however they were able to draw the Globetrotters all to one side which freed the Bull Centaur to dash across the other side.Along with Slam Fry-Flay killing an elf, the Broncos levelled up easily with time to still push for the win.
The Broncos kicked to the Globetrotters and started to hit a little harder in defence, Knocking Out 6 Elfs and leaving only 3 on the pitch. The hard hitting defence gave the Broncos the chance to turn over the ball. With a chance to score, the Broncos pushed however they could into scoring range, which was a lone Hobgoblin, before handing off to the Bull Centaur who also dashed down field to get himself in range, that was until he fell over his own feet, leaving him too far away to score himself.
The Globetrotters tried their best to send the ball as far down field as possible, but were unable to even get their hands on it.
The Broncos had once last chance, and with some hard running by the Hobgoblin, who got himself into the endzone, the Bull Centaur was able to brush himself off before getting the ball and handing off to the Hobgoblin for the seemingly unlikely victory and rounding out the comeback from 2-0 down and winning the match 3-2. |

Broncos get shown the guns The Kingsbane Broncos have had to fight of a determined Sengoku Shoguns to save themselves from a loss and salvage a draw in the tightest contest they've had so far, only managing a 2-2 draw.
The Broncos started with more confidence and tried bashing their way to victory, but the Shoguns were not to be deterred and fought back to with more casualties of their own to get themselves an advantage.
The Broncos who had received first still fought hard though and managed to get the first TD of the game, despite the numerical setback.
But the hard work of recovering from a shaky beginning took it's toll in the Sweltering Heat with more Broncos unable to make it to the pitch, but the Shoguns just brushing it off without pause.
Just prior to restarting the game though, it was thought the players would get a reprieve from the heat with the hint that the wind might pick up. It wasn't to be though as the seeming change in weather, the possibility of a breeze died quickly, leaving the players out in the Sweltering Heat still.
The Shoguns now had a decent numbers advantage which allowed them to even the score before half time.
Both teams came out of half time with most players surviving the heat better, and the Shoguns continued their fast paced attack to score quickly in the second half, despite the Broncos having a seemingly Perfect Defence.
The attacking raid took it out of the Shoguns though as they felt the affects of the heat this time.
With the possibility of winning on their mind, the Broncos set about scoring as quickly as possible and were quickly back to 2 a piece.
With a trend of scoring taking it out of a team, the Broncos were again struck down and having a tricky time to stop the Shoguns from getting the win.
The Broncos spoiled the Shoguns efforts and had set themselves up for a chance at victory, but were obviously worn out by the end and were unable to pick up the ball, let alone get a pass away for a chance at victory. |

Broncos shed Blood again The Kingsbane Broncos have played a second game against the New Blood Patriots over an action packed weekend. The first game of the weekend was played in Pouring Rain early, but it didn't affect the Broncos who ran away 4-1 winners.
The Broncos received first and went about the business of knocking the Patriots out or injuring them so they couldn't mount a proper defence.
The Broncos were so successful in their attempts at bashing, it gave them great confidence with the ball. Despite tremendous amounts of rain, the Broncos picked up and threw the ball without any issue.
Whilst the Patriots managed to sneak in for a TD of their own in the second half, the Broncos kept grinding away and managed to score twice in each half for their best victory of the season. |

Broncos Karak the Gromril The Kingsbane Broncos have overcome a sluggish start to overcome the Karak-Khazril Gromril with a solid 2-0 win.
The Broncos received first and aimed to bash their opponents senseless whilst practicing their passing skills.
Neither tactic was working cleanly for the Broncos though, through the first half. The Broncos struggled to cause the injuries they were hoping to cause, but they were able to get numerous knock outs which kept some players out for the rest of the match.
An in ability to complete a pass saw the Broncos decide to just run the ball in for a TD once they managed to pick it up again before half time.
The second half saw Gromril hit back though, causing 2 casualties in 2 blocks to try give themselves a chance at getting back in the match.
The Broncos took exception to this though and caused more casualties back, including some kills. With a numbers advantage growing, the Broncos were able to turn over the Gromril and score to get out to a 2-0 lead.
As the end was drawing near, the Broncos again managed to turn over the Gromril, but the passing problems experienced earlier in the match were still evident. This inability ended their chances of a third TD. |

Broncos trample on broken Hearts The Kingsbane Broncos have continued their solid start to the season by beating the previously undefeated Blackhearts 3-1.
It was a game in which the Broncos could seemingly do nothing wrong and the Blackhearts just didn't click.
The Broncos started by slowly nudging their way up field. The grind started to take it's toll on the Blackhearts, losing 2 casualties early.
The Blackhearts tried to regroup, but the Broncos didn't let up, they turned over the Blackhearts late and chanced their luck to get a completion into the endzone to head into the half ahead 2-0.
The Blackhearts persisted in the second half, despite a pitch invasion not working in their favour, and managed to dash away for their TD to give themselves some hope.
The Broncos quickly put any thoughts of a come back to bed though by squeezing out the rest of the match at a grind pace to seal the win 3-1.
The Broncos found themselves breaking armour a lot, and either just stunning their opponents or injuring them. Unfortunately the Blackhearts had to rest to a precision strike game and failed to break any armour which typified the bad luck they experienced from the game. |

Broncos stuck in the Nightshade The Broncos have failed to make good of a turnover in the second half to get a win against the Nightshades, having to settle for a draw at 1-1.
The Broncos received first and decided to scoot through quickly into the backfield. This was nearly a big mistake for the Broncos, save for the Nightshades finding themselves unable to pick up the ball. This meant the Broncos could recover and score immediately.
The Nightshades weren't to be out done through the first half though and managed to play some gutsy plays which saw them break free and level up right on the half time siren.
The Nightshades became a little hasty in the second half though and found themselves in a position to be hit. Once hit it was time to scramble for the Nightshades as the Broncos recovered the ball and started throwing the ball around as if they were Elves themselves.
The Broncos found themselves close enough to score, but still lacking the speed to evade their opponents. It came down to a one on one Blitz to try get away, but unfortunately it was against a Blitzer so both players stood facing each other with no movement made.
After this both teams found themselves getting knocked down and out of range of being able to score the winning TD. |

Broncos are Patriots to no-one The Kingsbane Broncos have managed to continue their winning ways early in the season with a more convincing win over the New Blood Patriots.
The Broncos still only managed a 2-0 win, but were better at what they tried to do compared to their first match.
Kicking off first, the Broncos were able to stop the Patriots from scoring. They only time the Broncos looked in competent through this game was trying to get a quick completion in before scoring against the flow. Their inability to get this pass away lead to them not scoring in the first half.
The second half worked out much better though, as they scored quickly when in possession of the ball early and making a successful turnover and score to finish the game comfortably. |

Broncos avoid the Tusks The Kingsbane Broncos have settled into a new league with some confidence and notched up a win in their first outing. The Broncos played the Bonetown Bloodtusks and came away with a 2-0 scoreline.
The match involved no real skill being shown by either team, the Broncos just managed to hold the ball better than their opponents.
The Bloodtusks suffered from a lack of grit when it came to hitting their opponents, finding themselves getting injured when they blocked in the wrong manner.
Eventually the Broncos managed to get a small numbers advantage and this allowed them to start the season with s comfortable win. |
