     Underdog Rumble Wraps Up Seventh and Final Cup  
   
   Spoiler 
  
     
  
  So here we are folks, the final match.  Today we have a matchup of underdogs.  On one side is the skaven team of the Low-Down Dirty Rats, and on the other the vampires of the Bad Badenhof Bats.  Neither team looked likely to make it this far, let alone qualify, way back at the all-star break; but here they are playing for the ultimate prize!  It looks like the Bats have won the coin toss, and their electing to receive.  The Rats line up and it looks like the skies have just opened up.  The rain is starting to pour and the kick is away, Valerie von Streissenhower recovers the ball, and she moving cautiously forward, angling to the right wing.
  
     
  
  The rats are coming forward, but the vampires are holding them back.  It looks like LDR is attempting to flood the right wing and I don't think the vampires will be able to stand up to that many skaven.  Valerie doesn't think so either- She's switching the field as she moves forward, and she's made it all the way to the left wing with rats in pursuit.  She's moving into LDR territory, but she's not going to make it, she going to a lateral pass to Castiel- Castiel drops it!  The ball was just too slippery.
  
     
  
  The skaven hellstorm that flooded the right wing is falling back to the ball, and the vampires are coming with them.  The scrum has paused to reposition itself, and now it's back on, but the skaven seem to be getting the upper hand!  Here comes gutter runner Flash, and he's got the ball!
  
     
  
  But Count von Ruyven is there with a solid punch to the face that Flash can't stop on account of tucking the ball away.  That rat is down and seeing stars!  The ball pops loose and into the hands of Castiel.
  
     
  
  Castiel jukes- runs- and he's in!  The Bats have scored on a shaky offensive drive that could very well have ended in disaster.
  
     
  
  The Bats have lined up for the next kickoff, and it looks like the sky has cleared a bit.  Hopefully the damp pitch won't hinder the two teams too much before it can burn off.  Valerie sends the kick up, and Diggles 'Beast Mode' Bouldercod recovers the ball.  Gutter runners are deploying and-  Oh no!  One of them was tripped up dodging into the Bat backfield.  The Bats are counterattacking, and Diggles is in trouble!  The gutter runners come back to break him free, but they just can't push Ruyven off him.
  
     
  
  Diggles throws a fake punch with his extra arm and head fakes with his extra head- Ruyven is fooled and Diggles rolls away!  He's got yet another gutter runner upfield and a clear path too him.  Will we see another patented Diggles hand-off?  He's stopping short- No!  Diggles is hurling the ball forward.  Screech picks up the ball in mid air, leaps, and he brings it down!  Screech easily dodges Streissenhower, and he scores!  The Low-Down Dirty Rats have tied the match at the halftime whistle!
  
     
  
  After a brief break we return to you and LDR are lined up to receive.  The kick is away, and Diggles Bouldercod has the ball.
  
     
  
  He's angling to the right wing, but his gutter runners have failed him again, tripped up while trying to push into Triple-B territory.  The Bats are counter attacking, and Diggles fends off a blitz.  More Bats are coming to pile on, but the skaven are sending protectors of their own.
  
     
  
  The vampires are coordinating their blocks- Diggles fends off another, but a shot from a thrall catches him dancing and he falls to the ground.  Nobody can catch the bouncing ball as Diggles struggles to his feet, but here comes Titus Pulhoffer- He's got the ball!
  
     
  
  Pulhoffer gets a block from Castiel and he breaks free.  He's got open field in front of him and away he goes!  He could go all the way!  He does!  Pulhoffer is in on a defensive touchdown!  The Bats retake the lead!
  
     
  
  Time is on the side of LDR though, and there is plenty of time for them to score and force overtime.  Right now, I have to imagine that Valerie von Streissenhower is only thinking one thing-  Keep the ball away from 'Beast Mode'.  The kick is up, and yep- that was it.  The ball flies short and to the left wing, right into the hands of Screech.  Screech falls back and moves over to the heavily-defended right wing to buy some time.
  
     
  
  But the vampires are pushing hard from the left.  They've dropped Masher and are wrapping around through the gap left by Screech, and now they're within arm reach.  The rats try to beat away the vampires to no avail, Screech has to dodge, but Castiel pulls him down by the scruff as he tries to dodge away!  The ball's loose- the vampires recover!  That's gonna be the match folks!  The Bats win!
  
     
  
  An amazing match ladies and gentlemen, the crowd is going absolutely wild.  Who would have expected this team, the vampires, to be Cup Champions?  Not I...Not I.  The two teams are dusting themselves off and saying their goodbyes.  Though the Bats walk away with the Cup, both of these teams leave with the distinction of being the final participants in what has become the most illustrious league on the GitP circuit.  Congratulations are in order for both.  Thank you for the magnificently played match, you warriors of the gridiron.  Coach Aedilred has taken the field and is being presented the cup by...some really big black bird apparently.  The Bats are hoisting him onto their shoulders, and Aedilred hoists the cup- the first- and the last- to do so.  Amazing.
