Week 21 Stats - Challenge Cup Regular Season Comes to End





Congrats to the Bladerunners for finishing first in the Challenge Cup Regular season, their prize - a playoff date with the Predator Cup-Leading Personal Vendetta. The best of three FunHL Semi-Final will pit two former Challenge Cup Champions against each other with the "experience" factor having to go to the Vendetta who have won the Challenge Cup Three Times - most recently in 2004, before the lock-out. The Bladerunners won their only Challenge Cup post-lockout in 2006.

The second Semi-Final sees the two-time Challenge Cup and Defending Champion Severed Heads face off against traditional rival the Highlanders, who won their only Challenge Cup in 2007.

This season the Bladerunners swept the Vendetta in both week 6 and 18 while the Highlanders and Severed Heads split their two meetings. Historically, the Bladerunners and Vendetta have never meet in the Semi-Finals before but have split the two times they meet in the Challenge Cup Finals. The Highlanders and Severed Heads have both swept the other once in their two previous first-round meetings - haveing never met in the Challenge Cup Final.

In the Predator Cup race, the Vendetta continue to lead though both the Severed Heads and Bladerunners have gained ground while at the bottom of the table the Edge and withing spitting distance of the free-falling Wolves.
