==Regular Season==
==[[Image:TOECUTTERSTEST2 copy.jpg|60px]][[The Toecutters]]==
[[Glenn Everson]] was been a notable loss for the Toecutters this season, however the team picked up short-lived superstar [[Gordon Patrick]] for the entirety of the season. The Toecutters early season was marred by a pair of forfeits, caused by scheduling clashes. Despite their campaign picking up steam in latter rounds, they failed to make the finals, placing 6th.

==[[Image:Scourge logo jpg.JPG|60px]][[The Scourge]]==
[[Theo Rogers]] returns with his do-or-die team, bringing even more disgruntled rivalries to the table. [[Flynn Comerford]] returns, as well as some rumoured additions to bolster the Scourge lineup. The Scourge have managed to narrowly qualify for the semi-finals, edging out the [[Snowflowers]] to take 4th position. Similarly to their campaigns in previous years, Scourge's season started out fairly sour, before winning 2 matches to narrowly scrape into the top 4.

==[[Image:BLEK WORLD.jpg|70px]][[Team Blek]]==
Unlike many of the other teams, Blek moved through the player re-distribution relatively unscathed. Notable players include [[Hamish Rogers]] and [[Gus Bevan]]. Blek's regular season was somewhat inconsistent, never winning 2 consecutive matches (excluding a [[Toecutters]] forfeit). However, they found themselves at the top of log-jam of teams following the regular season, to take 3rd position leading into the finals.

==[[Image:Buce Logo hawks.jpg|55px]][[The Hawks]]==
Important changes in the Hawks for this league include the return of hailed captain [[Michael Read]], as well as [[Wilson Leung]]. [[Nick Allan]] was absent for the majority of this league due to his pursuit of a career in the Asian Buce Champions League. The Hawks season can best be summed up in the phrase "close but no cigar". They were competitive in each game they played, only ever losing by a couple of points. However, the single win and draw they managed to put together was not enough to avoid being handed the wooden spoon for the season.

==[[Image:Wutang clan.jpg|70px]][[Wu-Tang Clan]]==
The Wu Tang Clan are the "Second [[Scourge]]", consisting of several ex-Scourge players, as well as ex-[[Avalanches]] captain Charlie Rogers. Wu Tang's performance in the season thus far has been by far the best of the league, progressing through the regular rounds undefeated, regularly steam-rolling opposition teams. Not surprisingly, they managed to take out the Minor Premiership.

==[[File:The Giants.jpg|75px]][[The Giants]]==

The Giants are a rejuvenated [[Novice Strike Force]], with the added strength of several [[Quad Team]] and [[Original 8]] heavyweights. To date, their season has been infinitely better than that of their forebears, starting their season rather strongly. However, this team is largely reliant on it's defence, never scoring more than six points in a match. Their latter season was relatively weak, only managing slight wins, yet this was enough to secure 2nd position.

==[[File:Buce Monkey2.jpg|75px]][[The Snowflowers]]==
As one would guess by their name, the Snowflowers are the end result of the amalgamation between the [[Sunflowers]] and the [[Avalanches]]. Considerably similar to the [[Quad Team]] of old, they lack some crucial members of the team and therefore have chosen a more contemporary name rather than use the image of 2007 and 2008's dominant Buce team. However, this team failed to live up to the expectations placed upon them during the season, performing sketchily at best, proceeding to be nudged out of the finals by [[The Scourge]], and ending 5th. Interestingly, the Snowflowers were the only team to have been able to take any competition points off of the [[Wu Tang Clan]], with their round 4 draw.

==Finals Series==
==Wu Tang Clan==
As the winners of the minor premiership, Wu Tang entered the finals series as firm favorites to progress deep into the competition. This they did, with their 11-1 annihilation of [[The Giants]] in the Major Semi-final, earning instant qualification to the Grand Final. From this point, Wu Tang followed up their form in the final, defeating [[Team Blek]] 6-2 to take the Premiership.

==The Giants==
Finishing the regular season in 2nd position, The Giants were also widely expected to do well out of the Finals Series. However this was not to be the case. Plagued by a lack of players in the Major Semi-final, The Giants fell to an 11-1 loss to [[The Wu Tang Clan]]. Things were not to get any brighter later in the day, where the weary team were narrowly defeated by [[Team Blek]], 7-6.

==Team Blek==
Due to their somewhat inconsistent run of form throughout the regular season, Blek were not widely expected to progress beyond the Preliminary Final. However, it quickly became apparent that Blek had been saving themselves for the finals, defeating [[The Scourge]] soundly, by 6 points to 2. Blek then assumed underdog status heading to the Preliminary Final. But yet again, Blek rose up, to narrowly edge out [[The Giants]], 7-6. However, what may have originally seemed to be a fairytale finish in the making was denied by [[The Wu Tang Clan]], in a Grand Final that was much closer than it's 6-2 scoreline would suggest.

==The Scourge==
Having only qualified for the finals by the skin of their teeth, Scourge appeared to be a small chance to make inroads into the finals series. This status was confirmed in the Minor Semi-final, where the 6-2 defeat at the hands of [[Team Blek]] sealed their fate.
