MBBL - Melbourne Blood Bowl League

Ostermark Cockerells

Race:	Human
Coach:	Mad Dog MK

Description

Ostermark, or officially the League of Ostermark, is an Electoral Province at the far north-eastern corner of the Empire. The Cockerell's wear the Province colours of white and blue proudly. As a new team, the Cockerell are a symbol of a new dawn for Ostermark. After the destruction of Ostermark's previous capital Mordheim (and all of its ersthwile Blood Bowl teams) a new dawn is required for the newly formed League - and it is hoped the Cockerells can be a symbol of that. Or at least give the crowd some entertaining deaths.

Losing with the coach on the sidelines “I’m not saying the ref was wrong to send me off and keep Timo on there fouling those undead scum” coach mad dog was heard saying as he watched most of the exciting 2-1 loss to the Brawlers from the stands, “I’m just saying he shouldn’t allow interferences with passes is all”. A lot of risky plays, with passing and jumping over prone bodies saw a very bloody game - two deaths and many many KOs and casualties - made for another spectacle as the Brawlers climb toward the top of gold division, leaving their erstwhile rivals behind. “It’s early in the season” said a clearly relaxed Mad Dog, who felt his team did themselves proud against the vampires, and now looks forward to the rest of the season. “It’s like I always say, would you rather chase or be chased by vampires?”

1-0 debut with Brawlers next In a hard fought gold league debut, the Ostermark Cockerells faced off with the Lava Lizards on their home turf. Choosing to receive the Cockerells would soon learn that skink armor, never mind saurus scales, are impenetrable. Column defence upon column defence as the humans swung left and right trying to find a gap. The Lizards were pushed back almost to their TD zone as the humans roved forward, but almost at the end of the half the ball was sacked, recovered and then passed back for a blitzing touchdown. 1-0 at halftime after a failed one turn touchdown from the Lizard. The second half start was brutal, removing two human linemen on the LOS and clearing the decks. But a short kick (kick skill) combined with a change of weather to pouring rain put the quick scoring plans of the lizards on hold. Skinks were unable to collect the ball which eventually bounced into a spot where the Cockerell T. Werner (catcher) could grab it and run for the end zone. He was quickly chased down by a few skinks and a saurus, but the ball wouldn’t cross the midway line after that as the ball was sacked, dropped, scattered and the rain made hard work of any pickups. Toward the end of the game the humans were down to 6 players, but still they held the vast lizards back to defend a 1-0 win on their debut. Next up, their rivals from both Bronze and Silver league, the Barrowia Brawlers, who also went 1-0 in their first game and a surely thirsty (nudge nudge) for revenge… or blood

Silver champions! Exceeding the wildest expectations of the Ostermark people, their Cockerells claimed the MBBL season 27 silver coin, in only the second season of participation by defeating their year-long rival, the Barrowia Brawlers. Throughout the Ostermark there were celebrations and parades, with people beginning to feel that a new dawn is possible. If it’s good for the Ostermark, it must be good for the world.

Oct. 16th, 2024 - old news
1 loss, 1 win & a forfeit It’s been dramatic for the Ostermark faithful as they watched their bright team take a 1-2 loss to the Vanilla Vampires after demolishing their team to only 5 players. Then another bashes with the Tomb-shack-a-lack which resulted in a chaotic 2-0 win and then the news that game 6 has been cancelled due to a forfeit. This leaves the Cockerells with a 4-1-1 record and a break before their final game, and first ever game, against their season 26 rivals - the Barrowia Brawlers. The Brawlers are coming off a 3-0 loss to the Serra Angels and play the in form Tor’s Chosen next, so hopefully the Oatermarkers rest period will see the team fit for the last game of their season.
