Hashutites held aloft the Dwarfen-sized trophy after contesting a fraught battle against bitter Chaos-induced rivals the Bognor Bograts, ensuring that they etch their names in the annuls of QMLS history with their second Championship title in 3 seasons.
The Chaos Dwarfs banished the bitterness from last season's final - against their Skaven foes - and never looked back to complete their undefeated campaign. The new champions never stuttered throughout the season, only dropping points through draws that displeased the High Priests of Hashute.
In stark contrast, Bognor Bograts cut a forlorn outfit at the final whistle, knowing that victory was within their grasp in what was to be their final chapter to a record-breaking campaign. Unlike the sacrificial offings of hobgoblins at the alter, the Skaven filth were true to their innate nature when the quartet of gutter runners, armed with their weeping daggers, murdered their teammate Rogre Breaknut just minutes before the kick-off.
The Gutter Runners were convinced that the fray old man with a pointy hat they met at the inn was a master of the arcane arts. He dazzled the rodents with a blast of illusion and conjuration, and offered his services for a price... the heart of a teammate.
None envisaged that this "wizard" was none other than the High Priest of Hashute in prancing disguise! The Chorfen staff prodded and cajoled the Bograts' coaching staff to strike with the wizard. What were they aware of that the Bograts weren't?
The Wizard stuck a bolt of lightning that fizzed and banged with magnificence! The crowd gasped with the sudden ear-drubbing sounds. But as the puff of smoke dissipated, Ogedei, the hobgoblin ball carrier, remained standing. Grinning from ear to pointy ear.
Treachery! The rats briefly rallied only to see the reliable strip baller, Gruff Rhiyz-Jones, stumble under a hobgoblin's well-placed foot. The rats would by the end of the game suffer 8 tackles that gave the initiative to their eager opponents. From a position that had the chorfs panicking, Hashutites carved an enclave of certainty. Once inside the cage in midfield there was only one outcome, and Ogedei trundled in the first touchdown of the night.
The lead, however, did not last long, as the Bograts equalised with a fine one-turn touchdown after a quick snap at kick-off. Suddenly the game swung in favour of the rats going into the second half. It was the first non throw-teammate one-turner in the QMLS era.
In possession of the ball, the furry rodents set about stretching the opponent's ranks thin and almost exploited a stumble from the cumbersome Minotaur. Head-Lyce Creep kept the ball out of harms way as the Bull Centaurs crept around the flanks.
Creep was set to spring an attack midway through the half, only to be stunningly sacked from behind by Bultar. The great Bull charge through the screen and sure-footed his way to change the complexion of the match.
Suddenly, the rats were unsure of their footing as they tumbled like a deck of cards under a stiff breeze. It was left to Ogedei to pick up the loose ball to steal away a rare Bognor turnover and secure a handsome 2-1 win to cap a monumental season for Hashutites!
Mango's Valuable Player: The Hashute High Priest in a disguise of grandeur that fooled the Bograts. His skill in ensuring the lightning bolt was merely an illusion prevented a near certain turnover, which may have turned the game on it's head.
