Champions Shield Final

Sat, 4 Dec 2010 Arkansas Indians vs Roman Empire

As we come to the end of another season we have the 3rd and last major final.This final is between a very established team and a relative newcomer,you couldn't have scripted it any better.

The Indians are managed by Eric(badcrazy)Thompson and have just won 8-1-1 for the 6th time.A previous winner of both the Shield and ICC,his path to the Final has been fairly straightforward beating Steel City Blades and Lagerfield in the Q/f and S/f.This season he finished 2nd in division 1 of the Smokey Friendly League,the hardest league on Smokey.
Roman Empire are managed by George(mufc2311)Antoniadis and have just won 7-2-4 winning all 30 games in the process and is obviously aiming for 7-1-1.Even tough this is only his 3rd season he has won a PL and has 4 runner-up spots.He finished 2nd in Conference C of the Smokey Friendly League and next season starts in FL5.On the way to the final he has beaten Biscuit Barrell,West Yorkshire Boys and Hereos of the Man.The teams have met once this season with the Indians winning 7-0,although this was a friendly and we can't read too much into the score.

As for a winner my head says it has to be the Indians with all their experience,history and Conference 8 championship.My heart would say the newcomer Roman Empire who has shown on the way to the Final he is capable of beating anyone.

And the winner is Arkansas Indians.

Good luck to both,congratulations to the winner and comisserations to the loser.
