NAFL Season 8: Part 1

MATCHDAY 1
FC Portus 0-2 Lumberjacks FC
Newfield FC 0-0 Vinovium United FC
Olympique Sept-Iles 0-4 FC St. Martin
Isca Town FC 0-1 Sanctuary FC
Castellum FC 0-0 Archbishop FC
Bridgewall City FC 2-0 Heartwood FC

Lumberjacks christen their return to the Sovereign Division with a shocking 2-0 win over Portus, getting a 7th minute goal from Cosumarite Tormas Alpulainen. Portus was out of sorts for the rest of the match. Speaking of being out of sorts, Newfield failed to put a single goal past Vinovium in an exceedingly dull affair. Elsewhere, St. Martin put the wood to Sept-Iles, Archbishop couldn't break through against Casetellum, and Bridgewall beat Heartwood in a matchup of likely Globe Cup contenders.

MATCHDAY 2
Lumberjacks FC 0-1 Springs FC
FC St. Martin 1-1 FC Portus
Sanctuary FC 0-1 Newfield FC
Archbishop FC 4-1 Olympique Sept-Iles
Heartwood FC 3-2 Isca Town FC
Bridgewall City FC 1-1 Castellum FC

Portus can't get started, drawing St. Martin, while Newfield vanquishes an early difficult foe in Rutupiae. Olympique suffers its second consecutive bad defeat, while Heartwood gets a brace from Greater Watford's Freddy Lincoln to vanquish Isca Town. In a matchup of two strong defensive teams, Bridgewall and Castellum each mark once, but neither can find a winner.

MATCHDAY 3
Springs FC 1-1 Vinovium United FC
Lumberjacks FC 1-1 FC St. Martin
FC Portus 2-2 Archbishop FC
Newfield FC 1-1 Heartwood FC
Olympique Sept-Iles 2-3 Bridgewall City FC
Isca Town FC 0-1 Castellum FC

Portus tangles with Archbishop and comes away still looking for their first win. Thomas Bergen's 85th minute equalizer salvaged one point for the purple and white. Cosumarite Elveund Kirumsen plays a major role in Heartwood's draw with Newfield, holding Star United States' captain Chris Soarison down and preventing him from directing the offense. Bridgewall escapes thanks to a stoppage time goal from Uzziah Tracy; the 34 year-old from The Sarian shows he still has a little bit left, even if it is off the bench.

GLOBE CUP 1ST PRELIMINARY ROUND 1ST LEG
Heartwood FC (NOV) 0-1 Sequoia Rivers (VTR)

Heartwood's Globe Cup journey gets off to a dismal start as they lose at home to unheralded Sequoia Rivers from Vettrera. Freddy Lincoln can't break through and the fans boo their team off the pitch.

MATCHDAY 4
FC St. Martin 0-0 Springs FC
Sanctuary FC 3-0 Vinovium United FC
Archbishop FC 0-1 Lumberjacks FC
Bridgewall City FC 0-1 FC Portus
Castellum FC 0-0 Newfield FC

Lumberjacks claims its second likely UICA victim, defeating Archbishop in Londinium. Another veteran in Nephara's Bernard Carruthers shows his stuff off the bench to give Lumberjacks the late edge. Portus gets its first victory, getting an important three points on the road against Bridgewall. Castellum continues to hold firm, drawing Newfield and maintaining their undefeated season. Meanwhile, Olympique stays winless.

GLOBE CUP 1ST PRELIMINARY ROUND 2ND LEG
Sequoia Rivers (VTR) 1-3 Heartwood FC (NOV)

Heartwood FC 0-1 Sanctuary FC
Bridgewall City FC 3-0 FC St. Martin
Castellum FC 1-0 Vinovium United FC
Isca Town FC 2-5 Lumberjacks FC

Vinovium United FC 0-1 Olympique Sept-Iles
Lumberjacks FC 2-5 Newfield FC

Three potential UICA contenders claim 2-0 wins today, and Sanctuary snaps Castellum's unbeaten streak. Olympique finally wins, even though it took lowly Vinovium to do it. Lumberjacks finally runs up against a UICA team it can't beat, suffering a 5-2 smackdown.

CHAMPIONS' CUP 2ND PRELIMINARY ROUND 1ST LEG
FC Frederykvil (GAR) 1-2 Archbishop FC (NOV)

Archbishop makes the trip to Frederykvil, which cleans up nicely when there are rich foreigners around. They certainly had more trouble than they expected, needing an 84th minute goal from Thomas Bergen to escape with three points.

GLOBE CUP 2ND PRELIMINARY ROUND 1ST LEG
Twentytwo Cacti (NFX) 2-1 Heartwood FC (NOV)

Heartwood stumbles on the road against a good Cacti squad, but a one-goal loss and an away goal mean they at least have a shot on the return leg in Eboracum.

Bridgewall City FC 2-2 Springs FC
Castellum FC 0-1 Heartwood FC
Isca Town FC 0-2 Archbishop FC
Olympique Sept-Iles 1-2 Sanctuary FC
Newfield FC 5-1 FC St. Martin
FC Portus 2-0 Vinovium United FC

Newfield looks to be hitting its stride, recording its second straight five-goal performance. This brings them up to an average of two goals per game, jump-starting their average offense. Elsewhere, no real surprises today, unless you think Bridgewall should have beaten Springs.

CHAMPIONS' CUP 2ND PRELIMINARY ROUND 2ND LEG
Archbishop FC (NOV) 1-1 FC Frederykvil (GAR)

The first half was much more scintillating than the second. Archbishop got off to a great start, forcing Arjan Maatman to make five saves and also sneaking one through for an early lead. Frederykvil equalized when Assane Diakite's blast deflected off of Elliot O'Dell and into the goal. The second half saw Archbishop control possession but refuse to push forward much, successfully limiting Frederykvil's chances as well as successfully boring the crowd to death.

GLOBE CUP 2ND PRELIMINARY ROUND 2ND LEG
Heartwood FC (NOV) 0-2 Twentytwo Cacti (NFX)

The return leg is no better than the first, as Heartwood's attack is stifled by the stout defense of Cacti. A goal in the first and second halves polish off Heartwood, ending their Globe Cup run.

MATCHDAY 9
Springs FC 1-1 Castellum FC
Bridgewall City FC 4-0 Isca Town FC
Heartwood FC 2-0 Olympique Sept-Iles
Archbishop FC 1-2 Newfield FC
Sanctuary FC 1-1 FC Portus
Vinovium United FC 2-1 Lumberjacks FC

Let's get right to it: Newfield and Archbishop. One point separated the two teams before this matchday, with Newfield at 5-3-0 and 18 points, and Archbishop right behind at 5-2-1 and 17 points. Lost in the middle of these two juggernauts was the fact that Sanctuary was actually tied with Newfield (6-0-1). In any case, Pepe Batista and Christian Gjallskald hold firm against Bergen and Svenßon, giving Newfield the win. Sanctuary ties Portus, Bridgewall explodes for four goals against Isca Town, Heartwood gives Olympique their seventh loss, and Lumberjacks stumbles against previously winless Vinovium.

MATCHDAY 10
Isca Town FC 3-2 Springs FC
Olympique Sept-Iles 1-0 Castellum FC
Newfield FC 0-1 Bridgewall City FC
FC Portus 1-2 Heartwood FC
Lumberjacks FC 0-1 Sanctuary FC
Vinovium United FC 0-2 FC St. Martin

Bridgewall was definitely a trap game for Newfield this week, a strong opponent laying in the weeds to ambush them after an emotional victory against Archbishop. Their strategy worked, getting an early goal and then weathering the storm. Heartwood went to a suddenly uneven Portus and came away with three points, while Sanctuary continued their winning ways, sending Lumberjacks to their third consecutive defeat.

MATCHDAY 11
Springs FC 2-0 Olympique Sept-Iles
Isca Town FC 1-2 Newfield FC
Castellum FC 0-1 FC Portus
Heartwood FC 0-0 Lumberjacks FC
Archbishop FC 1-1 Vinovium United FC
Sanctuary FC 1-1 FC St. Martin

A pretty dull day, as Sanctuary and Archbishop drop points at home and Lumberjacks and Heartwood play to an uninspired draw in Eboracum. Portus escapes Mancunium with three points, Newfield sends Isca Town to their ninth loss, and Olympique loses yet again.

CHAMPIONS' CUP 3RD PRELIMINARY ROUND 1ST LEG
Raskstad United (VER) 2-2 Archbishop FC (NOV)

Marcos Zelaya's brace gave Raskstad the early lead, but Archbishop rallied from the two-goal deficit to emerge with an away draw. Key to their draw was midfielder Jared Roberson. Roberson, recently graduated from their youth program, came on as an injury substitute in the 48th minute for John Bailey and scored a goal, assisted on the other, and generally caused havoc.

GLOBE CUP 3RD PRELIMINARY ROUND 1ST LEG
Vesper (MAT) 0-0 Newfield FC (NOV)
FC Jansberg (SEM) 1-0 FC Portus

Newfield couldn't get off the ground against Matthewsiana's Vesper, putting just three shots on goal. They also conceded twelve corner kicks, so they're lucky they escaped with a draw. Portus' Andreas Bekken found himself playing against his former club, but was shut down and Portus' already underwhelming season just gets worse.

MATCHDAY 12
Newfield FC 1-0 Springs FC
FC Portus 1-2 Olympique Sept-Iles
Lumberjacks FC 1-1 Castellum FC
Vinovium United FC 1-0 Bridgewall City FC
FC St. Martin 0-2 Heartwood FC
Sanctuary FC 1-1 Archbishop FC

Portus continues to play up and down, losing to Olympique. 35 year-old keeper Gerard Davidson may be coming to the end of the line, and the home fans let him have it today. Lumberjacks is still stuck in neutral, drawing Castellum, while Bridgewall can't find a single goal against woeful Vinovium. Sanctuary manages to hold Archbishop to a draw in Rutupiae, though they would have dearly loved for Celestino's header to have been a foot lower.

CHAMPIONS' CUP 3RD PRELIMINARY ROUND 1ST LEG
Archbishop FC (NOV) 1-1 Raskstad United (VER)

Archbishop manages to hold their own at home against Raskstad's vicious attack. Zelaya does score one, but that's all he gets, and Svenßon answers back, allowing Archbishop to advance on the away goals rule.

GLOBE CUP 3RD PRELIMINARY ROUND 1ST LEG
Newfield FC (NOV) 1-1 Vesper (MAT)
FC Portus (NOV) 0-1 FC Jansberg (SEM)

There are no more Nova Anglican teams in the Globe Cup, as Newfield can't prevent a late equalizer, losing on away goals, and Portus continues to look completely uninspired.

MATCHDAY 13
Springs FC 0-1 FC Portus
Olympique Sept-Iles 6-2 Lumberjacks FC
Isca Town FC 2-0 Vinovium United FC
Castellum FC 1-0 FC St. Martin
Bridgewall City FC 1-0 Sanctuary FC
Heartwood FC 1-2 Archbishop FC

Lumberjacks takes one on the chin, allowing six goals to a moribund Olympique side. Tim Klein records his fifth clean sheet of the year as Bridgewall defeats Sanctuary, and Archbishop gets back some momentum by defeating Heartwood.

13 Isca Town FC           12    3   0   9    12   24  −12     9

Newfield still rules, though Sanctuary are trying their best to unseat them, or at least claim their first UICA berth since their founding. Heartwood holds a surprising one-point edge over Archbishop, while Bridgewall and Portus are on the outside looking in. Lumberjacks has stalled out, as they are 0-2-4 in their last six matches, though seventh is a great position for them. Castellum and St. Martin are just hanging out, while Olympique has recovered (somewhat) from their disastrous start. Springs stinks despite their many additions the past few seasons, and while Vinovium and Isca Town have separate problems (one can't score, the other can't defend), they both share one characteristic: last place.

12 First Nations FC       11    2   2   7    12   28  −16     8

Labrador are outpacing most teams, pretty much as expected, though County sit just three points behind, the result of a head-to-head loss on MD7. They are both putting in goals at better than two per game. Homesteaders, a name we haven't seen much of in the top half of the standings recently, are tied with a suddenly resurgent Fishermans for the final SBCC spot. Maritimes, Artisans, Acadia, City, and Mineurs are all bunched up in the middle, while Comrades and Shepherds languish at the bottom. First Nations has nearly matched its goal total from last year, despite losing its only true star in David Gleason. They still can't defend, already allowing five and six goals in separate matches.

NAFL Season 8: Part 2

MATCHDAY 14
Lumberjacks FC 1-2 FC Portus
Vinovium United FC 2-3 Newfield FC
FC St. Martin 3-4 Olympique Sept-Iles
Sanctuary FC 3-1 Isca Town FC
Archbishop FC 2-0 Castellum FC
Heartwood FC 0-3 Bridgewall City FC

Portus gets the second half of the season kicked off by sending Lumberjacks to their fifth loss in the last seven games, with nary a win in that stretch. Newfield plays a closer than expected game against last-place Vinovium, but Chris Soarison adds a goal late to break the tie. St. Martin and Olympique, two traditionally offensive-minded clubs, play a scintillating seven-goal affair despite a lack of premier scoring talent. Sanctuary eases to a 3-1 win over Isca Town, Archbishop downs Castellum, and Bridgewall soundly defeats Heartwood.

MATCHDAY 15
Springs FC 3-0 Lumberjacks FC
FC Portus 2-0 FC St. Martin
Newfield FC 3-0 Sanctuary FC
Olympique Sept-Iles 0-5 Archbishop FC
Isca Town FC 1-1 Heartwood FC
Castellum FC 1-0 Bridgewall City FC

Springs is having a disappointing season so far, but a three-goal win over slumping Lumberjacks sure cheers them up. Portus makes it two in a row over weaker teams, while Newfield puts some distance between them and Sanctuary. Roberson, Svenßon, and Bergen all score in Archbishop's 0-5 romp over Olympique. Bridgewall and Heartwood flop against low-table sides.

CHAMPIONS' CUP PLAYOFF ROUND 1ST LEG
Telino (YTT) 0-1 Archbishop FC (NOV)

Archbishop enjoys their trip to Esportiva, getting another goal from an emerging Jared Roberson, this time in the 75th minute. Elliot O'Dell helped to head off Telino's fierce counterattack and put his team one step closer to the Champions' Cup group stage.

MATCHDAY 16
Vinovium United FC 1-0 Springs FC
FC St. Martin 3-0 Lumberjacks FC
Archbishop FC 4-0 FC Portus
Heartwood FC 1-5 Newfield FC
Bridgewall City FC 4-1 Olympique Sept-Iles
Castellum FC 0-2 Isca Town FC

Just as quickly as it came, Springs' feeling of euphoria vanishes with a loss to lowly Vinovium. Lumberjacks tumbles even further down the table, losing their fourth in a row and seventh of nine, as St. Martin is on an offensive jag right now. As strong as Archbishop looks in dismantling Portus, Newfield looks better, scoring three goals in the first twenty minutes to knock Heartwood on their backs. Bridgewall sends Olympique to their second straight bad defeat.

CHAMPIONS' CUP PLAYOFF ROUND 1ST LEG
Archbishop FC 0-2 Telino (YTT)

Archbishop goes home and does the one thing they can't afford to do: lose. Telino's a very good club, but this one was close until Archbishop conceded two in the final seven minutes of the game. It's a frustrating loss for them.

MATCHDAY 17
Springs FC 1-1 FC St. Martin
Vinovium United FC 3-1 Sanctuary FC
Lumberjacks FC 0-4 Archbishop FC
FC Portus 1-0 Bridgewall City FC
Newfield FC 2-0 Castellum FC
Olympique Sept-Iles 3-1 Isca Town FC

Sanctuary crumbles on the road against Vinovium, playing a shaky and lackluster game, with only an Alex Mills stoppage time goal to give them any consolation. Archbishop has now outscored their last three opponents 13-0, and Lumberjacks' collapse continues. Portus continues their win-loss-win-loss pattern, taking down Bridgewall in a game for the defensive aficionados. Newfield holds a five-point lead over Archbishop, their nearest competitor, after a 2-0 win over moribund Castellum.

MATCHDAY 18
Sanctuary FC 0-1 Springs FC
Archbishop FC 5-1 FC St. Martin
Heartwood FC 1-3 Vinovium United FC
Bridgewall City FC 3-1 Lumberjacks FC
Isca Town FC 2-2 FC Portus
Olympique Sept-Iles 1-3 Newfield FC

Sanctuary drops their third in a row, and second in a row against a bottom-of-the-table side, again struggling to find any offense, something that Archbishop has plenty of. Four wins in a row, 18-1 aggregate. Heartwood flops against a suddenly resurgent Vinovium (3-0-1 in the second half), while Lumberjacks has now fallen into second to last. Portus disappoints against last place Isca Town, and Newfield continues to win.

MATCHDAY 19
Springs FC 2-4 Archbishop FC
Sanctuary FC 1-1 Heartwood FC
FC St. Martin 0-1 Bridgewall City FC
Vinovium United FC 2-0 Castellum FC
Lumberjacks FC 0-4 Isca Town FC
FC Portus 1-1 Newfield FC

Archbishop now has scored 22 goals in their last five games, eight of them coming from Axel Svenßon. They are 5-0-0 in that span, and with Portus holding Newfield to a draw, they trail by just three points. You know who else is on a winning streak? Vinovium. They make it four in a row by defeating Castellum, climbing into sole possession of seventh place, a huge improvement from where they once were. Lumberjacks is officially in last place now, losing their seventh straight game in ignominious fashion to Isca Town.

MATCHDAY 20
Heartwood FC 1-1 Springs FC
Bridgewall City FC 1-1 Archbishop FC
Castellum FC 1-0 Sanctuary FC
Isca Town FC 0-1 FC St. Martin
Olympique Sept-Iles 2-3 Vinovium United FC
Newfield FC 3-0 Lumberjacks FC

Just like that, Newfield's lead is back to five, as they send Lumberjacks to their eight consecutive loss and Bridgewall holds Archbishop to a draw. With six matchdays to go, it's pretty much a two-team race, as Newfield has a thirteen-point lead over third-place Bridgewall. Castellum drops Sanctuary, keeping them from claiming the last UICA slot over idle Portus. Vinovium wins their fifth in a row and is now just five back of Globe Cup play.

MATCHDAY 21
Springs FC 1-1 Bridgewall City FC
Heartwood FC 2-0 Castellum FC
Archbishop FC 1-1 Isca Town FC
Sanctuary FC 2-1 Olympique Sept-Iles
FC St. Martin 1-4 Newfield FC
Vinovium United FC 0-1 FC Portus

Newfield lengthens their lead to seven, crushing St. Martin as Archbishop drop two points in a crucial home fixture against 11th-place Isca Town. Heartwood and Sanctuary stay three and one point off the pace, respectively, as they and Portus all win.

MATCHDAY 22
Castellum FC 0-1 Springs FC
Isca Town FC 0-0 Bridgewall City FC
Olympique Sept-Iles 0-3 Heartwood FC
Newfield FC 3-1 Archbishop FC
FC Portus 0-1 Sanctuary FC
Lumberjacks FC 3-2 Vinovium United FC

With four games to go, this one is all but wrapped up. Newfield's solid 3-1 win over Archbishop not only gives them the season series, but also a nigh-insurmountable ten-point lead. Sanctuary leapfrogs Portus with a head-to-head win, and with Bridgewall dropping two against Isca Town, they are just one point off of third place. Heartwood's win ties Portus, so it looks like it will be a tight race for the last two Globe Cup spots. Lumberjacks finally breaks through, ending their nine-game losing streak and 0-2-11 stretch going back to to MD7.

MATCHDAY 23
Springs FC 1-1 Isca Town FC
Castellum FC 1-1 Olympique Sept-Iles
Bridgewall City FC 2-0 Newfield FC
Heartwood FC 0-1 FC Portus
Sanctuary FC 4-0 Lumberjacks FC
FC St. Martin 1-1 Vinovium United FC

Newfield stumbles against Bridgewall, but Archbishop can't take advantage of it, since they have an off day. In fact, they clinch the title by mathematics, having a ten-point lead with three matches to go. Bridgewall shores up their Globe Cup spot, staying one ahead of Sanctuary (who pound Lumberjacks to end their short-lived excitement) and three ahead of Portus, who themselves are three ahead of Heartwood. All the other matches are 1-1 draws between bottom-half teams.

MATCHDAY 24
Olympique Sept-Iles 1-1 Springs FC
Newfield FC 2-2 Isca Town FC
FC Portus 0-0 Castellum FC
Lumberjacks FC 1-2 Heartwood FC
Vinovium United FC 0-0 Archbishop FC
FC St. Martin 4-2 Sanctuary FC

Newfield's draw with Isca Town is disappointing in terms of play, but since they'd already clinched, we see more than a few usual subs get their chance against 12th place Isca Town. Portus draws against Castellum, and St. Martin upsets Sanctuary, so neither of them really gain any ground on idle Bridgewall. Heartwood is one back of Portus, who is one back of Sanctuary, who is one back of Bridgewall in a tight race. Archbishop, firmly in Globe Cup contention and unable to take the crown, also play subs in a dull-as-ditchwater draw against Vinovium.

MATCHDAY 25
Springs FC 1-2 Newfield FC
Olympique Sept-Iles 2-0 FC Portus
Castellum FC 2-2 Lumberjacks FC
Bridgewall City FC 1-1 Vinovium United FC
Heartwood FC 5-0 FC St. Martin
Archbishop FC 2-1 Sanctuary FC

Before the final matchday, catastrophe strikes for three out of the four Globe Cup contenders. First, Portus takes a pair of red cards against Olympique and the nine-man side can't recover. Bridgewall drops two points at home against Vinovium, and Archbishop's subs play hard in front of the home fans to down Sanctuary. Meanwhile, Heartwood blasts St. Martin and the table looks like this:

Sovereign Division        Pld   W   D   L    GF   GA   GD   Pts

12 First Nations FC       21    3   4  14    22   52  −30    13

With one game to go in the Yeoman Division, there is absolutely no drama. Labrador has firmly separated themselves from the pack and will definitely be promoted. Andro Mendez, the Audioslavian striker, has had something of a career renaissance, scoring fourteen goals at the front. He came over as a veteran on a free transfer, so it's tremendous value for Labrador. County and Homesteaders have the other two SBCC spots well and truly sewn up, and while the former is a perennial contender, the latter's season qualifies as amazing. First Nations is going to finish last, no drama there.

NAFL Season 8: Part 3

MATCHDAY 26
FC Portus 1-1 Springs FC
Lumberjacks FC 3-1 Olympique Sept-Iles
Vinovium United FC 2-1 Isca Town FC
FC St. Martin 1-0 Castellum FC
Sanctuary FC 0-0 Bridgewall City FC
Archbishop FC 1-1 Heartwood FC

On the last matchday, Bridgewall, Heartwood, Sanctuary, and Portus are all separated by just four points; any two of them could make it, but the other two will be bitterly disappointed, and deservedly so. Lumberjacks needs a win and some help to avoid relegation, while teams 7-11 (Vinovium, Springs, St. Martin, Castellum, and Olympique) have nothing to play for but pride.

Archbishop is still testing out subs, but they manage to hold Heartwood to a draw. Unfortunately, no other side could take advantage. Portus pressed hard at the end of the game, but couldn't break down Elveund Kirumsen, Jordan Strumm, and Matthew Sawyer. Sanctuary and Bridgewall themselves played to a scoreless draw, Bridgewall retreating further into their defensive shell as they saw Heartwood and Portus headed for draws as well. So nothing changes; Bridgewall and Heartwood make it while Portus and Sanctuary are left out. For Heartwood, this is their third straight Globe Cup appearance and their third straight late-season charge to finish in fourth place. Isca Town loses to Vinovium and Lumberjacks takes advantage, getting two goals from Tormas Alpulainen to defeat Olympique and barely avoid relegation. It will be Isca Town's grim fate this year, their second time in eight seasons (though they have had at least two other close calls).

Labrador United FC 1-0 FC Mineurs
Londinium County FC 1-0 First Nations FC
Comrades FC 3-0 Eboracum City FC
Shepherds FC 0-1 FC Acadia
Maritimes FC 4-1 Homesteaders FC

The last day in the Yeoman Division sees Labrador and County win 1-0 affairs with their subs and Maritimes thrash a Homesteaders side resting their starters. Comrades ties Artisans for fifth as the former downs City 3-0 and the latter loses to Fishermans 1-0. Oh, and FC Acadia beats Shepherds. Boy, have those two teams fallen off in recent years.

Bay Roberts 0–0 Rothesay Corinthians (2-1 aggregate)

A few surprises here, as the two bottom teams in their respective leagues knock off the 4th and 5th place teams in the league above them. Clarenville with two wins in a huge turnaround, while this isn't Dalhousie's first rodeo; they went headhunting last year as well. Not as surprising in terms of placement, but in terms of goals were the matches between First Nations and Stephenville and Riverview and City. Riverview absolutely crushed City, winning both legs including a 5-1 win in front of the home fans. City's bad, but they're not this bad. Meanwhile, First Nations ran into a combination of red cards, injury, and own goals as they collapsed in Stephenville.

Most of the higher seeds advance here, with one notable exception: Homesteaders. The last SBCC team falters badly against Clarenville. The worst team this year is making a charge, and are now in the Round of 16. Dalhousie's, Riverview's, and Stephenville's Cinderella runs come to an end, Riverview and Stephenville's in violent fashion. Labrador and Comrades play a pair of scintillating matches, while Sanctuary Reserves and Vinovium go to extra time, with Vinovium rallying to come out ahead. Castellum drops a surprise match against Stellarton, but they hang on to advance anyway.

FC St. Martin 0-2 Springs FC (0-2 agg)
Springs FC 1-0 FC St. Martin (3-0 agg)

Clarenville holds up much better against Newfield than many expected. Sure, it was Newfield's subs, mostly, but 6-1 aggregate is great for a Third Division team against a giant like Newfield. County holds its own in the first match against Archbishop, but the purple and white break out in the second leg to claim the Londinium derby. Bridgewall dispatches Labrador, but Isca Town bedevils Heartwood for 175 minutes before finally succumbing. Sanctuary traditionally does well in the Cup, and their 5-0 home win on the first leg is enough to get them by Lumberjacks. Castellum topples Portus in a fitting end to a disappointing season for that team. Olympique and Vinovium need PKs to settle it, but the Quebecois take it. Meanwhile, Springs appears to have found a little vitality, downing St. Martin to move on to a date with Newfield.

Quarterfinals
Newfield FC 1-1 Springs FC (1-1 agg)
Springs FC 0-3 Newfield FC (1-4 agg)

Archbishop FC 1-0 Olympique Sept-Iles (1-0 agg)
Olympique Sept-Iles 3-3 Archbishop FC (3-4 agg)

Bridgewall City FC 1-0 Castellum (1-0 agg)
Castellum 0-1 Bridgewall City FC (0-2 agg)

Heartwood FC 2-1 Sanctuary FC (2-1 agg)
Sanctuary FC 0-1 Heartwood FC (1-3 agg)

Springs hold their own in Noviomagus, but Chris Soarison runs rampant in Aquae Sulis, scoring two brilliant goals and contributing an assist with a wonderful backheel on the third. Nobody's stopping Newfield from getting to the semis. Olympique challenges Archbishop, but the defense holds firm on the first leg and Archbishop's offense brings them back from a 3-1 deficit against a leaky Sept-Iles defense. In another matchup of defensive teams, Castellum succumbs to Bridgewall and Tim Klein, while Sanctuary bows out to a Heartwood team that seems to have hit its groove.

Semifinals

Newfield FC 1-1 Heartwood FC (1-1 agg)
Heartwood FC 1-3 Newfield FC (2-4 agg)

Archbishop FC 1-1 Bridgewall City FC (1-1 agg)
Bridgewall City FC 2-1 Archbishop FC (3-2 agg)

Newfield seems to have a knack for making big plays on the road, and this time is no exception. They take down Heartwood with a pair of second-half goals and advance to their sixth Cup final. As for the other matchup, Archbishop can't get a win at home, and a slip from keeper Michael Underwood dooms them in the return leg. Bridgewall makes it to the Cup final for the first time, facing a daunting task.

Nova Anglican Cup Final
Newfield FC 1-0 Bridgewall City FC (1-0 agg)

The Cup final changed its format this year. In previous years, there had been a home and an away leg to the competition. While that allowed for more ticket sales, the NAFL felt that the drama and suspense of a winner-take-all final would outweigh the concerns from switching formats. Plus, it would align the NAFL with many other leagues around the multiverse. In Londinium's Kelly Park, Newfield claimed a 1-0 victory and its fifth Cup final overall. They have achieved the trifecta of Champions' Cup, Campionato Esportiva di Campeones, and Cygnus Cup play. They will have a full season next year.

In the Eastern Division, the Capitols pull off a big surprise, storming from a 66-62 record and 3rd place finish to a 75-53 record and a division title. The big turnaround for them was in their pitching staff, allowing 75 fewer runs than last year. Danny Hauser led the way, posting a 2.97 ERA and 185 strikeouts in 171 innings, racking up a 15-6 record along the way. Felix Murphy tossed 165 innings to the tune of a 3.41 ERA, as well as striking out 170 batters. Cole Mayberry and Jules Halstead, the young lefties in the rotation, posted ERAs of 3.58 and 3.81, giving the Capitols the best rotation in the league. On the offensive side, Shane Brock whomped 29 homers despite a .241 batting average, and Scott Lindsey scored over 100 runs. Mancunium jumped to second from fifth largely on the improvement of their rotation, as both their runs allowed and runs scored totals sharply dropped. Brandon Ashton continues to live up to the hype, and he won the Elmer Sutton Award behind a 14-7/184/2.80/0.98/200/56 line. Seth Banks and Craig Moore were innings-eaters behind him, and Bobby Weaver and Leo Mancini were serviceable in their roles as well. They kept the stress off of a bullpen that got beat up last year. The offense took a dive, in part because veteran Tony "Flick" Barnes "slumped" to a .281/.346/.413 line, with just 15 homers.

Aquae Sulis, projected to win the league, badly underperformed expectations. They finished nine games back and were never really a threat after about game 100 or so. They allowed many more runs than last year, largely due to injuries that caused Sean Ballard (tendinitis) and Brad Bryan (chronic shoulder inflammation) to miss a combined 18 starts between them. Their minor league depth was not that strong, and the four pitchers that filled in combined for a 4-12/5.09/1.41 line. The defense struggled as well, ranking 8th of 12 teams in the league. Jarrod Novak's .288/.345/.431 line with 16 homers wasn't enough to overcome his league-worst -16/DRS at shortstop. Pons Aelius finished two games back of the Trappers, their .500 line seemingly epitomizing this team that is stuck in neutral. Darrin Werner made a legitimate push for MVP (.304/.356/.450, 12 HR/26 SB, +14/DRS at SS), and Leon French led the league with 34 homers, but the rest of the lineup struggled and when Stephen Wells' 3.50 ERA is your top number, your rotation's not very good.

Portus Abonae's rotation was supposed to be good, and it was. 4 starters finished with an ERA under 4.00, but with the exception of ace Anton Sowers, they didn't eat innings like they should have. That was their downfall, as other than new acquisitions Andre Clark and Matt George, the bullpen posted a 4.38 ERA. The Millers were just 48-27 when leading after the 7th inning, a pretty horrific number. The lineup outside of Jamie Stephens and Bryant Massey took a step back, but it didn't help that big offseason get Jonathan Moore missed 54 games with a torn calf muscle. Finally, the Londinium Novas improved by four games to 59-69, but it wasn't enough to get them out of the cellar. Young right-hander Kyle Meyers majorly outperformed his projections, tossing 160 innings and posting a 3.99 ERA with 170 punchouts. The Novas also saw young catcher Ben Curtis improve to 10 homers and 56 RBI to go with a .267/.344/.408 line. They still have a ways to go, but the Novas should be competitive in a couple of years when their minor leaguers get to the bigs.

In the West, Eboracum took their third consecutive crown, but this time it wasn't nearly as close. They won by five games over the resurgent DC Brewers, whose Brandon Maynard took the MVP with a .331/.376/.501 line to go with 27 HRs and 25 SB. That impressive performance earned him a new 5 year contract worth nearly AP 29 million, making him one of the highest-paid players in the game. Eboracum fought off Maynard and the Brewers behind a heroic season from Nate Freeman and the rotation. Freeman led with an 18-4/180/3.14/1.09/208/67 line and the rest of the rotation all posted ERAs under 4.10. The lineup mashed its way to the most runs in the league as well, with Luke Greene and Derrick Wheeler combining for 47 HRs and 175 RBI out of the 4 and 5 slots.

The Gunners, the Express, and the Bleus were all noncompetitive, finishing at least 11 games back of the Yeomen. Vinovium got 40 HRs and 160 RBI from the corner infielders Caldwell and Colvin, but the pitching staff struggled all year long. A couple of bright spots for the Gunners: Brendan Gunderson posted an ERA under 3.50 and largely stayed out of trouble, and Cody Howard's 76 PA cup of coffee produced a .304/.355/.420 line. Newfield's kids collapsed this year, finishing six games under .500. The plan to platoon Mark Hunter and Hunter Rutherford failed, as Rutherford struck out in 34% of his at-bats before being sent back to Souris and Hunter continued to struggle against right-handers. Kelvin Freeman hit 30 homers, but his batting average and on-base percentage collapsed to career lows of .268 and .321. Sept-Iles saw its offensive capabilities much reduced, as they lost Curtis Brooks and Ken Henry for more than 80 games combined. Thomas Barnett did have a nice season at the top of the lineup, generating a .306/.378/.410 line with 50 steals. Isca Town scored the fewest runs in the league and will again occupy the cellar of the Western Division. They will continue to wait on Carson Whitten and their other draft picks to save them.

In the All-Star Game, the Western Division rallied from a 1-0 deficit to claim a 4-1 win, tying the overall series at three games apiece. In the Anglican Series, Danny Hauser outdueled Nate Freeman in Game 1, scattering six hits and two walks across 8.1 innings while striking out nine batters. Freeman himself struck out 12 batters, but two solo homers in the sixth and seventh innings were his downfall. Felix Murphy recovered from a three-run first by throwing six scoreless innings, while Jeff Schweitzer was chased by Shane Brock's three run homer in the sixth, conceding six runs in 5.2 innings. The Capitols followed up their 10-3 Game 2 win with a 10-3 win in Game 3, battering the veteran Bruce Hale for seven runs in 2.2 innings. With their season on the brink, the Yeomen tried their best in Game 4, taking a 2-1 lead into the 8th, but Perry Collins conceded the tying run and then the bullpen collapsed in the 9th, going down 6-2. Their two-run burst in the bottom of the inning wasn't enough and the Capitols claimed their first championship and BCC appearance.

In the North, the upstart Makkovik Evergreens stormed to a .641 winning percentage and a record ten games better than their next rival, the Nain Harpooners. The Novas' affiliate did it behind 1st round draft pick Seth Armstrong, a burly 3B prospect who jacked 21 homers while showing off a cannon at the hot corner. Hopedale and Wabush hung around the middle, while Fermont and Labrador West sunk to the bottom. Ty Oliver, the athletic right fielder whom DC made their first round pick, used his impressive physical gifts to muscle his way to a .301/.345/.458 batting line along with 14 homers and 20 steals. Unfortunately, his Fermont Northmen could not do better than 5th.

In the South, it was another expansion team's affiliate that came out on top, the Isca Town affiliate Red Bay Galleons. Red Bay was led by #1 overall pick Carson Whitten, whose 8-1/71/2.85/1.01/89/17 pitching line dominated the league, even as he was held back from making a few more starts. Whitten could have moved up to the TPL, but the Greens were willing to take it slow. Expect them to be more aggressive next year. The rest of the division made a valiant effort, but fell short.

The South dominated the All-Star Game, with Whitten tossing two perfect frames and striking out five of the six batters he faced. The three times Whitten faced Oliver in the championship series were epic battles. Oliver saw twenty pitches and went 1-3 with a double, striking out the other two times. Whitten tossed a complete game with ten strikeouts in Game 1, but it took the Galleons 13 innings to come out on top in Game 2 and clinch the series.

Clarenville wins the division this time around after falling just short last year. Trent Stowe couldn't hack it with New Waterford in the Maritime League, but his hard fastball with movement played well in Clarenville, racking up 95 strikeouts in 82 innings. His thirteen starts with the Trailblazers helped carry them to the fewest runs allowed and a division title. Marystown, Harbour Grace, and Placentia gave them a good run, but they could not pull it out in the end. The Stephenville Stratos went backwards in their second year, with a struggling offense mostly the culprit. Meanwhile, Port aux Basques fell off a cliff, toppling to a .396 winning percentage. They were ravaged by injuries, including losing key rotation cog Andrew Pryor for two months.

In the West, it came down to head-to-head play. Havre-Saint-Pierre edged Thunder River 7-5 in the season series, denying Newfield their second minor league division championship. They didn't hit much, but they didn't allow many runs either, leaning heavily on a bullpen that averaged 3.2 innings a game and sported a 2.30 ERA. Riviere-Saint-Jean and Saint-Augustin tried their best, but they couldn't mount much of a challenge. Chevery suffered from the same problem the entire Gunners organization suffers from: not enough pitching. Blanc-Sablon needs another draft or two to really build up their chances of winning; for now, they're an incomplete team.

The Eastern Division All-Stars broke open a close 3-2 game in the top of the 5th, by blasting Thunder River's Jon McCoy for five runs. It was a laugher after that. The championship series saw no team win by fewer than five runs, but Clarenville won the series two games to one, giving the Mariners' organization their first minor league championship this year.

In a tight Eastern Division race, it's Portus Abonae's affiliate Truro that comes out on top. The only team in the division to finish with a winning record, the Iron Horsemen held off three other teams down the stretch to claim the title. Their team was mostly filled with AAA veterans, though pitching prospect Bradley Jordan led a strong rotation with a 3.29 ERA, cutting his walk rate from nearly five per nine innings to just under three and a half and combining that with a strikeout rate of over eight and a half per nine. The only team in the Eastern Division to remain out of contention, the Kings County Planters, was almost chock-full of minor league free agents and the like, so it's no surprise they posed little threat.

In the Western Division, Souris ran away with the title, finishing a full six games above their nearest rival, the Shediac Lobsters. The Spuds, the Express' affiliate, averaged more than four and a half runs per game, led by Hunter Rutherford's .298 batting average and 27 homers. Shediac and Rothesay, the nearest competitors, struggled with run prevention, both on defense and in the rotation. Cody Howard wasn't enough to carry Bathurst to anything more than .500, despite his stellar defense and thirty-eight steals. Miramichi and Edmundston round out the back end.

The ML All-Star Game was a dull offense-free affair, unless you like pitching. A 2-1 victory for the West, despite Bradley Jordan's three no-hit innings. In the championship series, Truro didn't need any more than three games to take care of Souris. A couple of one-run wins sandwiched around a 15-2 shellacking gives Truro its second straight championship. Now if only they could turn their minor league success into major league success.

It's a tale of two halves for the Londinium Jesters. After losing their first four games, including by 55-7 to the DC Dragons, they bounced back to finish 9-0-1 and tie for the league lead. They got their revenge by defeating DC 53-7 in the return leg. The Eboracum Bandits have to be disappointed with their mid-table finish. After all, they were tied for the league lead at 5-0-2 at the end of the first half. But they lost three consecutive games to open the second half by a total of only eleven points. They briefly rallied to win their next two games, but lost to Sept-Iles and then were thumped by the Jesters on the final matchday to fall into a tie for fourth.

The Tides are romping at the halfway point, four games up on their nearest competitor and the only team with single-digit losses. Meanwhile, the Islanders of Sept-Iles are the only team with single digit wins. The Owls of Labrador and the DC Saints are in the interesting position of an above-.500 winning percentage while actually being outscored, and the Explorers of Portus Abonae and the Pons Aelius Admirals are in the opposite position. Six teams are in reach of the fourth playoff spot, so the second half should be thrilling.

12 Sept-Iles                   66   14  52  4722 5411 −689   .212

No surprise here, as Newfield goes three games clear of Eboracum to win the #1 seed for the playoffs. There was a bit of drama about the #3 and #4 playoff seeds, as Aquae Sulis led Londinium by a game going into the final matchday. But the Lakers took down the Explorers to nullify the Governors' win over the Jazz and keep hold of the #3 seed. The rest of the table looks pretty similar to midseason, with the exception of a 13-20 second half for the DC Saints dropping them to ninth place. Sept-Iles finishes last for the second straight year, a real disappointment for a club that finished third three years ago. As for the playoffs, it looks like a two-team race between the Tides and the Arrows, but maybe the lower seeds could pull an upset.

Semifinals (best of 5)

Newfield 78–71 Londinium (Newfield 1-0)
Newfield 70–74 Londinium (Series tied 1-1)
Londinium 65–94 Newfield (Newfield 2-1)
Londinium 81–97 Newfield (Newfield wins series 3-1)


Eboracum 71–74 Aquae Sulis (Aquae Sulis 1-0)
Eboracum 101–72 Aquae Sulis (Series tied 1-1)
Aquae Sulis  62–62 Eboracum (73–68 OT) (Aquae Sulis 2-1)
Aquae Sulis  63–76 Eboracum (Series tied 2-2)
Eboracum 82–62 Aquae Sulis (Eboracum wins series 3-2)

The semifinals end with the top two seeds advancing, but in different fashion. The Tides played a couple of close games in Noviomagus before going on the road to Londinium and winning comfortably to wrap up the series. The Arrows, meanwhile, had to fight back from down 1-0 and 2-1 to win their semifinal. They dropped two close ones to the Lakers, but won by double digits every game they won, including a win of nearly thirty in game two and an easy twenty-point win in the clinching game five.

Finals (best of 7)

Newfield 62–72 Eboracum (Eboracum 1-0)
Newfield 82–78 Newfield (Tied 1-1)
Eboracum 64–61 Newfield (Eboracum 2-1)
Eboracum 84–74 Newfield (Eboracum 3-1)
Newfield 70–80 Eboracum (Eboracum wins series 4-1)

Eboracum wins it, clinching their first-ever title! The series ended up being hotly contested, but not necessarily competitive. Other than Newfield's tight win in game two, Eboracum won all the other games. Most were good through three quarters, but the Arrows always put them away in the fourth to win it. It's revenge for last season for the Arrows, who have now made the playoffs in four consecutive seasons and could be the new dynasty in the NABA.

 13 Lumberjacks FC           24   2  3  19  19  54  -35   9

Very little drama in the Sovereign Division this year, as Newfield laps the rest of the league to run away with the title. They post identical 10-2-0 halves to finish undefeated for the year. This equals the feat that Archbishop performed in season 7, also going 20-4-0. Very little drama at the bottom of the table, either. Lumberjacks are relegated, finishing dead last with single-digit points. Their 1-4-1 finish constituted nearly half their points (the five other points coming on a 1-2-1 stretch in MD 6-9), and they endured losing streaks of four and ten matches. After nearly being relegated last year, they succumb this year. In five total seasons in the Sovereign Division, they have now been relegated three times. St. Martin has a good year to finish 6th, while Heartwood has a bad one to finish 7th.

*Finished ahead on head-to-head results (1-0-1, 5-4 aggregate)

All of the drama that was nowhere to be found in the Sovereign Division was apparently siphoned off into the Yeoman Division. Isca Town and Londinium County fought a back-and-forth promotion battle, even finishing incredibly close to each other in terms of goals scored and allowed. Isca Town came into the last matchday with a one-point lead over County, but even as Mineurs was knocking off Isca Town 2-1, County were losing at home to a suddenly resurgent First Nations club. It was a devastating loss, coming at home and preventing promotion. First Nations' win and Artisans' loss on the final day meant that First Nations snatched the fourth spot, their highest finish to date. It's a welcome breath of fresh air after finishing last for three consecutive years. Eboracum City also finished in the top half, their highest finish since a fourth place finish in season 6, and a big bounce-back from finishing 11th in season 8.

Nova Anglican Cup

With the implosion of San José Guayabal's league, Sanctuary Reserves find themselves with nowhere to play and are excluded from the Cup. Thus, with 49 teams competing, the play-in round is reduced by one.

Play-in Round
Sussex Town 0–1 AFC Truro
AFC Truro 1–0 Sussex Town (2-0 aggregate)

AFC Truro takes down Sussex Town in both legs to advance to the first round. Their reward is a game against First Nations.

New Glasgow Casuals 1–0 Rothesay Corinthians (2-0 aggregate)

Fall River 2–0 St. Anthony
St. Anthony 5–0 Fall River (5-2 aggregate)

It's upset central in the first round as six of nine Yeoman Division teams go down, including both First Nations and Artisans in AET. For First Nations, it's an especially egregious collapse involving a penalty shot, a red card, and an own goal. Meanwhile, Fishermans, FC Acadia, FC Mineurs, and Homesteaders go down, unable to overcome their underperformance at home.

Second Round
Comrades FC 5–0 AFC Truro
AFC Truro 3–5 Comrades FC (3-10 aggregate)

FC Portus 1–0 New Glasgow Casuals
New Glasgow Casuals 0–0 FC Portus (0-1 aggregate)

Newfield FC 2–0 St. Anthony
St. Anthony 0–2 Newfield FC (0-4 aggregate)

Two upsets in the second round: Kingstown Town hangs on in PKs to defeat County (a real punch in the gut for County after missing out on promotion), and, incredibly, Stellarton Wanderers over Springs. This isn't the first time a Sovereign Division team has gone down to a Third Division side, but it is the first time since Sussex Town beat Labrador United in season 2. Often times, a Third Division team will tie or even win a leg, but it is very rare for them to actually advance over a Sovereign Division team, especially a top-half squad like Springs. Springs won the first leg, but they sent their B side to Stellarton and then played most of the game with nine men and their third-string keeper after their second-stringer got hurt. Elsewhere, Castellum needed AET to escape Saint Stephen, but they managed it and will move on to the Round of 16.

Round of 16
Newfield FC 6–0 Comrades FC
Comrades FC 0–2 Newfield FC (0-8 aggregate)

FC Portus 0–0 Kingston Town
Kingston Town 0–1 FC Portus (0-1 aggregate)

Sanctuary FC 4–1 Isca Town FC

Olympique Sept-Iles 2–2 FC St. Martin (2-3 aggregate)

Heartwood FC 1–1 Labrador United FC
Labrador United FC 0–1 Heartwood FC (1-2 aggregate)

Bridgewall City FC 1–0 Castellum FC
Castellum FC 0–0 Bridgewall City FC (0-1 aggregate)

No upsets here, as the higher seed advances in all matchups. Newfield demolishes Comrades at home, and their subs have a good time winning 2-0 away. FC Portus completely refuses to take Kingston Town seriously, playing their B side in both games (and actually a man down at home). It works out for them, as they take an early 1-0 in Kingston and turtle, keeping possession and refusing to let the Third Division side back into it. Sanctuary's 4-1 win at home is enough for them to overcome a 4-2 loss on the road to Isca Town; they make the quarterfinals for the fourth time in their five-year history. Archbishop adds insult to injury for Lumberjacks; after a relegation season, they are annihilated 7-0 and basically eliminated in the first leg. Vinovium takes care of business against Stellarton, and FC St. Martin holds off Sept-Iles. Finally, Heartwood comes away with the second-leg win and Bridgewall parks the bus against an already-weak Castellum offense to advance to the quarterfinals.

Quarterfinals
Newfield FC 1–0 Bridgewall City FC
Bridgewall City FC 2–4 Newfield FC (2-5 aggregate)

FC Portus 2–0 Heartwood FC
Heartwood FC 1–0 FC Portus (1-2 aggregate)

Sanctuary FC 0–0 FC St. Martin
FC St. Martin 2–4 Sanctuary FC (2-4 aggregate)

Archbishop FC 3–0 Vinovium United FC
Vinovium United FC 0–2 Archbishop FC (0-5 aggregate)

Bridgewall holds Newfield to a goal on the road, but they can neither get a win nor hold off Newfield in the second leg, succumbing 4-2 and bowing out. After a 2-0 win in the first leg, Portus is content to play defense and possession on the road, and it works for them, holding Heartwood to a single goal and advancing on aggregate. Sanctuary finds its offense in the second leg against St. Martin, while Archbishop eases past Vinovium and into a date with Newfield.

Semifinals

Newfield FC 2–1 Archbishop FC
Archbishop FC 1–3 Newfield FC (2-5 agg)

FC Portus 1–0 Sanctuary FC
Sanctuary FC 0–2 FC Portus (0-3 aggregate)

Archbishop had to have some confidence going into the home leg of their semifinal tie. Only having lost 2-1 on the road, a shutout win or a win by at least two goals would put them into the final for the second time in three seasons. Unfortunately, Newfield had other plans, taking the second leg impressively, and making their seventh Cup final. Meanwhile, Portus absolutely strangles a good Sanctuary team, allowing just seven shots on goal in two legs and advancing easily. Portus has now scored seven goals and allowed one in eight Cup games, while Newfield has scored twenty-two goals and allowed four in their eight Cup games. Newfield's powerful offense dismantled Portus' defense in the regular season, scoring six goals in their two matchups. Can Newfield be stopped?

Nova Anglican Cup Final
Newfield FC 3–2 FC Portus

Newfield makes Portus play their game of moderate offense rather than Portus' preferred moderate defensive strategy, and although Portus made a good show of it, they succumb 3-2. Newfield wins their third Cup in a row and sixth overall.

NAFL Season 10

For the 10th anniversary season, the NAFL has announced a series of changes for this season and the upcoming ones. First of all, the Third Division, cut off from the rest of the pyramid for six seasons, will now participate in promotion/relegation. The winners of each league in the Third Division will play a two-legged promotion playoff; winner advances to the Yeoman Division. And yes, the Yeoman Division last-place finisher will spend at least a year toiling in the purgatory of the Third Division. Other changes the NAFL is hinting at include a full Reserve Division for Sanctuary Reserves to play actual games, a Youth Division for U18 academy players, a new team in the Yeoman Division to make it equal to the Sovereign Division (bids coming in now from cities), and the subsidization of a professional women's league. Look out for these changes in future seasons.

Ho-hum. Another year, another championship for Newfield. Although it was closer this year, they still had it sewn up by the last day. Even a rest day on the final matchday of the year couldn't prevent them from winning a title. In fact, first-place Newfield's off day, second place Archbishop's 2-1 win over Sanctuary, and third-place Portus' scoreless draw against Springs were all meaningless, since those places had already been determined. Those two matches, however, did mean a lot for Sanctuary, Springs, and Bridgewall, all competing for fourth place. Sanctuary entered the day on 33 points, two ahead of Bridgewall and three ahead of Springs. Springs' scoreless draw meant they were knocked out of the running, so Sanctuary still had a chance, as long as 9th place Vinovium could tie or win against Bridgewall. But the blue-and-gold side could not breach "Hadrian's Wall", and succumbed 2-0, allowing Bridgewall to sneak into fourth place. There was a huge dropoff from third to fourth this year, but fourth place any year means you're top-third in the league and holding your own. Heartwood was in the running for fourth place too, but their 1-0 loss to St. Martin meant they finish a disappointing seventh. Olympique are the relegation victims this year; they usually hang out in the bottom third of the league, but this is their first time being relegated in the modern era. You can bet Quebec will be steaming at being the only province without a Sovereign Division team and will fight hard to be promoted.

Lumberjacks continues to prove they are too good for the Yeoman Division; the last time they were relegated, they were back up the next year. The time before that, it took them two seasons to get promoted. They look like the classic yo-yo club; too good for the lower division, but not good enough to stick around. Their +29 goal differential is ten goals more than 3rd-place County, and five times as many as the next best team on goal differential. Despite this, they only led Artisans by a single point with three games to play and two points with one game to go. The working-class Artisans club was closer than they had ever been to promotion; a win might send them through. Their highest finish in the modern era was 4th; they had finished 5th for three consecutive years. All they had do to was travel to already-relegated Fishermans and hope Lumberjacks stumbled somehow against FC Mineurs. But the blue-collar Fishermans' team held them to a draw and Lumberjacks eased past Quebec's other team 2-0 to claim the promotion spot. County finish third, still trying to win promotion, still never good enough. First Nations and Eboracum City drop back to their usual spots of 9th and 11th, and Fishermans' dismal season will mean they spend the next season in the Eastern League. Reduced gate receipts plus way less prestige does not sound like fun.

With the incentive of promotion now a thing, it's Rothesay Corinthians and Stephenville who surge to the top. Miramichi Caledonians actually gave themselves a shot with a late run, winning their last three games and seeing Rothesay stumble to two draws and a loss, but that draw against last-place Edmunston Rangers gave Rothesay the one point they needed to tie Miramichi and advance on head-to-head play. In the Eastern League, a Stephenville win and Harbour Breton loss on MD21 meant that they had secured first place, and so their 4-1 loss to Stellarton Wanderers and Harbour Breton's 4-3 win over Clarenville XI on the final day meant nothing.

Promotion Playoff

Stephenville 1–0 Rothesay Corinthians
Rothesay Corinthians 1–2 Stephenville (1-3 aggregate)

Stephenville takes both legs of the promotion playoff, and will be the first Third Division team to ever reach the heights of the Yeoman Division. Whether or not they will last more than one season is another question entirely.

Very few upsets in the first round, unlike last year. First Nations is the only team that goes down, conceding five goals to a fired-up Saint Stephen squad that beat Homesteaders and nearly took down Castellum last year. Comrades gets a shock, but advances on away goals, while Fishermans needs AET to beat New Glasgow Casuals. City loses in Port Hawkesbury in a repeat of last year, but their 5-0 home win is enough to carry them through, while Stephenville celebrates promotion by blasting AFC Truro 7-0 at home, then looking completely uninterested in the return leg. Rothesay Corinthians, on the other hand, look flat after losing the promotion playoff and get taken down by Acadia Caraquet.

Newfield FC 5–0 Bathurst Athletic
Bathurst Athletic 0–4 Newfield FC (0-9 aggregate)

Two Sovereign Division teams fell to Yeoman Division foes in the second round: Olympique and Vinovium United. Olympique took the first leg against Maritimes 3-1, and only needed to avoid losing by three or more to goals to advance. They've never been a strong defensive side, and this time, with their B-plus squad in action, they did exactly what they couldn't afford to do. They looked surprised when they fell behind early, and were unable to recover in a 4-1 loss that booted them out of the Cup. Vinovium won their first leg 1-0, then, despite bringing what you might call an A-minus side to Eboracum, suffered an early red card and an own goal to trail 3-0 at the half. The second half only made it worse, as the need to press up to advance further exposed them, and they conceded five times in the second half, looking more and more despairing as time went on in their eventual 8-1 loss.

But the real story is that Springs FC is out in the second round for the second consecutive year, again to a Third Division side. Last year, they won the first leg against Stellarton Wanderers, only to suffer an epic collapse and lose the return leg 7-3. This year, against Acadia Caraquet, they started the B side at home, only to see them play incredibly sluggishly in a 3-2 loss. As punishment/motivation, the same side went to Caraquet for the second leg, only to fall behind 2-0 early and find themselves unable to come back. There will be a massive shakeup at Springs in terms of subs and perhaps in terms of coaching. Finally, Bridgewall needed AET to advance past Marystown Rovers on the road, but they will move on.

Round of 16
Newfield FC 1–1 Londinium County FC
Londinium County FC 1–2 Newfield FC (2-3 aggregate)

Isca Town FC 1–2 Heartwood FC (2-3 aggregate)

Castellum FC 0–0 Eboracum City FC
Eboracum City FC 0–1 Castellum FC (0-1 aggregate)

No upsets here, as the higher seed advances in all matchups. Newfield's subs fail to get the job down at home, tying County 1-1, but a mixed squad takes down County 2-1 on the return leg to advance. Archbishop's A-minus side eases past Comrades at home, then their B-plus side takes advantage of some mistakes, a red card, and general confusion to win the return leg by a hilarious score of 8-0. Portus appears completely unfazed that Lumberjacks held them to a scoreless draw at home, and they eliminate the Yeoman Division champs with an almost perfunctory 2-0 win. They just grind people into the dust. Bridgewall easily dispatches Maritimes in both games, while Sanctuary can't run wild like they want against Labrador, but win both legs. Acadia Caraquet nearly goes headhunting again versus St. Martin, holding them to a draw on the first leg, but they can't hold off the Horsemen's attack indefinitely and fall 1-0 at home. Finally, Heartwood comes away with the second-leg win against Isca Town and Castellum squeaks out an away goal to slip past City and into the quarterfinals.

Quarterfinals
Newfield FC 0–0 Castellum FC
Castellum FC 0–0 Newfield FC (1-2 AET, 1-2 aggregate)

Archbishop FC 1–1 Heartwood FC
Heartwood FC 0–0 Archbishop FC (1-1 aggregate, Heartwood advances on away goals)

FC Portus 2–0 FC St. Martin
FC St. Martin 1–3 FC Portus (1-5 aggregate)

Bridgewall City FC 2–0 Sanctuary FC
Sanctuary FC 0–0 Bridgewall City FC (0-2 aggregate)

Castellum decides their best chance at victory is to turtle away, and they do, holding Newfield to a 0-0 draw. They play defensively again at home, with their few chances being turned away, but Newfield finally broke through in AET. Trailing 1-0 and forced to push up, they concede another, making the goal they score at 119' meaningless. Heartwood earns a 1-1 draw against Archbishop on the road, and after trying to win for the first 70 minutes, pulls back for the last 20 minutes after they realize they can advance on away goals with a draw. Meanwhile, Portus wakes up and starts taking things seriously against St. Martin, with two nice wins. Bridgewall puts Sanctuary in a tight spot by winning 2-0 in Rutupiae, so they park the bus and hold off their foes like no-one else can to move into the semifinals.

Semifinals
Newfield FC 1–1 Bridgewall City FC
Bridgewall City FC 0–2 Newfield FC (1-3 agg)

FC Portus 2–0 Heartwood FC
Heartwood FC 2–1 FC Portus (2-3 aggregate)

Bridgewall comes pretty close to knocking off Newfield, tying them in the first leg, but "Hadrian's Wall" is breached in the second leg and Newfield makes their eighth Cup final and fourth in a row. After their 2-0 win over Heartwood, Portus had allowed just one goal and scored nine in five games, a truly dominant mark. They finally look mortal in the return leg, losing 2-1, but Heartwood couldn't find the third goal they needed to advance. In a rematch of last year, it will be Newfield versus Portus. Last year, Newfield won 3-2 by making Portus play a little more up-tempo. Will the defensive club get revenge?

Nova Anglican Cup Final
Newfield FC 1–0 FC Portus

Portus does succeed in limiting the tempo and playing slower than Newfield would like, but they can't find the back of the net and a 67th minute goal proves to be the difference. Newfield wins their fourth Cup in a row and seventh overall. They have now won 8 of 10 NAFL championships and 7 of 10 Cup finals. Archbishop has won the NAFL twice and the Cup twice, while Castellum has won one Cup final, way back in season 3 (over Isca Town, of all teams).

NAWBL (Nova Anglicana Women's Baseball League) Season 1 Preview

The inaugural season of the NAWBL features four teams playing sixteen games each against each other (four 4-game series, two home, two away) for a total of 48 games. The games will take place Thursday-Sunday in an approximately three-month long season. If the league sees success, then new teams are a possibility. They will follow the same rules as the NABL (9 inning games, no DH) and will play on a diamond with conventional baseball dimensions (60 feet, 6 inches, 90 feet between bases). They will play in university stadiums for the moment; if the NAWBL succeeds, then owners may choose to construct their own stadiums. Teams will carry 22 players (12 position players, 10 pitchers). The top two teams in the league will advance to a five-game championship series.

Being an expansion league with a shortened season, NAWBL players will hold jobs in the off-season. The minimum salary will start at AP 1250/wk, or AP 15,000 for the three-month season. There will be a salary cap of AP 750,000 and a salary floor of AP 400,000 for the first season, with possible adjustments in further seasons. The NAWBL held open tryouts and players were drafted by each of the four teams, with each negotiating their own contract, some signing for the minimum, others signing for more. More information on the four teams can be found below.

NAWBL Season Preview, Part 2

A big announcement from the NAWBL! Four former Cassadagan national team players have agreed to coach in the NAWBL this season. Maddie Anderson, the former star pitcher, will take over the pitching coach role with the Mount Pearl Fillies, hoping to coach up Sarah Rogers and Lana Wagner, two promising young starters. Danielle Terry, a former starting catcher with the national team, will take on the bench coach role with the Caledonia Chickadees. She'll be the second-in-command and will bring valuable advice on pitching and defense. The Westside Kingfishers have lured Jenna Bailey, a speedy outfielder who comes not only from the national team, but also the highly regarded domestic league of Newmanistan. Her responsibilities will include first-base coach, outfield instructor, and baserunning instructor, in addition to being an unofficial mentor to Camille Simmons. Finally, Ashley Merritt, a former NT starter, will join the Brighton Royals as their pitching coach.

NAWBL Season 1, Part 1

The season opener is here! The Brighton Royals visited the Westside Kingfishers, kicking off the season with a day game, followed by Mount Pearl going to Caledonia for the nightcap.

Brighton started off well, with Naomi Alexander, Lydia Austin, and Amanda Powers all reaching base before a big swing from Meg Lewis split the defenders in left-center for a three-run double. Kingfishers hurler Claudette Roy had surrendered three earned runs before even getting the first out. The Royals would hold on to the lead behind a strong effort from Barbara Cunningham. She effectively used her stellar changeup to record seven strikeouts and allow just two runs in her six innings of work. Emma Chandler came on to retire the side in the 9th for her first save of the season.

Meanwhile, over in Noviomagus, the Fillies methodically dismantled the Chickadees on their way to a 7-0 win. Sarah Rogers, considered by some to be the best pitcher in the league, showed she's benefiting from former Cassadagan ace Maddie Anderson's tutelage. She employed her slider to great effect, striking out nine and scattering four hits in a complete-game shutout. She was backed by RBIs from Lauren Osbourne and Trish Andrews early, with Andrews hitting her first homer and the first of the season. The Fillies would tack on five more runs to complete a dominating Opening Day win.

At the halfway mark, the Mount Pearl Fillies are running away with the league. At 17-7, they are five games clear of their nearest competitor, the Caledonia Chickadees. They lead the league in both offense and defense, due in no small part to their ace, Sarah Rogers. Her 5-1 record and 2.36 ERA in 42 innings lead the league; her only hiccup was a 5 inning, 6 run outing against Westside in their last series, a game that Mount Pearl rallied to win.

In the middle come the Chickadees and the Brighton Royals. They actually faced off against each other in the last series before the break, splitting the series. After the Royals took a mid-innings lead in game one, the Chickadees rallied for five in the last two innings to win it, 8-4. Game two saw the Royals put four up on the board early against Lila Murray, and Stacy Mack twirled seven innings of one-run ball to give the Royals the series lead at 2-0. However, Danielle Jennings and Janice Glover were not up to the challenge, giving up 12 runs in their two starts, as the Chickadees hammered Brighton in their last two games, outscoring them 22-0.

Finally, the Westside Kingfishers, a team expected to be in contention, have really struggled at 8-16. Their offense is fine, averaging 4.7 runs/game, but they are also allowing 4.7 runs/game, a little high. However, luck and poor run sequencing looks to be a factor, as they are 2-8 in games decided by one or two runs, but also sport wins of 12-1, 8-0, and 13-6. If they get a few friendly bounces and distribute their runs more efficiently, they can be in the running for the top two spots.

Indeed, second place is anyone's game right now. Mount Pearl look like they will finish first barring a very poor second half, but the other three teams are all within four games of each other. We will see what happens in the second half.

NAWBL Season 1, Part 2

The first regular season of the NAWBL has concluded! Despite a below-average second half, the Mount Pearl Fillies held on to their first-half lead and finished first in the league at 29-19. The Westside Kingfishers, who looked dead in the water at the halfway point, went on a strong second-half run to finish second. Those two teams will advance to the championship series.

Mount Pearl, after jumping out to a five-game lead and a strong 17-7 record in the first half, stumbled to a 12-12 record in the second half. Part of this was due to the decline of their ace, Sarah Rogers. Rogers pitched seven innings of two-run ball against the Chickadees, but her bullpen blew it and the Fillies would lose 7-4 in 12 innings. She then pitched a quality start (6 innings, 3 runs) against Brighton, a game the Fillies would lose 5-2. She then pitched a pair of stinkers (by her standards), giving up four runs against Westside and then five runs against Caledonia, both in five innings. With two starts to go, her ERA had risen by more than a run, to 3.46, but she ended the year by pitching consecutive shutouts against the Royals and Kingfishers, both of which her team won 1-0, the latter of which she drove in the only run with an RBI single. She would finish the year with a 7-3 record and 2.71 ERA.

Meanwhile, the Westside Kingfishers kept the offense rolling, but turned their pitching around to go 17-7 in the second half and make the championship series. They only allowed 85 runs in their 24 games, the lowest in the league in the second half. Their ace, Claudette Roy, allowed only eleven runs in forty second-half innings, good for an ERA of 2.48, an outstanding number. But their offense didn't slacken either, with Camille Simmons and Erin Harris leading the charge.

As for the Chickadees and the Royals, the second half was more disappointing than the first. The Chickadees, while five games out, had a .500 record and a legitimate chance of making it to the playoffs. But they dropped the ball, going just 9-15 and tying the Royals for worst record in the league. They played .500 ball by run differential, scoring 91 runs and allowing 92, but they just didn't have any luck. As for Brighton, they finished 10-14, but their lone bright spot was Lydia Austin. Austin had an excellent second half, driving in more than a run per game and hitting over .300, but it wasn't enough.

Mount Pearl takes on Westside in the first Championship Series, and they sweep them to claim their first league crown! Sarah Rogers allowed two runs over seven innings in game one, getting plenty of backing from her offense in an 8-3 win. In game two, Mount Pearl chased Anne-Marie Gagnon from the game after four innings and took a 5-1 lead. They would give it all back by the sixth, but in the bottom half of the inning, Trish Andrews hit a key two-run double that sparked a five-run inning and gave the Fillies the 12-6 win. Finally, the Fillies' Allie Fields carried a shutout and 1-0 lead into the eighth inning before the Kingfishers' Michelle McKenzie doubled home Camille Simmons to tie the game at 1. It would take an RBI sacrifice fly from #8 hitter Sylvie Boulanger in the 11th to win the Fillies the game and the title.
