Season One Inauguration Game Preview

So the first game of the year is the Season Inauguration Game, a game between the Prime League Champion and the League Cup Winner. Tonight I thought I would give a preview before the opening game. This year is contended by the Previous Year PLC Knights of Duria, facing LCW Northern Way. Since both teams participated in last years League, both teams have developed players.

Knights of Duria (Currently Prime League - Southeast Division)
Titles: PL Champion (Last Pre-blog Season)
Colors: Dark Gray, Red, and Black
Major Rivals: Wyfume ASC (South Metro Derby), Tidal Port Football, Botchil City
Quick Team Synopsis: Duria's local founding goes back to a more medieval time. The City was founded as an outpost for knights heading from East to the West. Moving into a more modern era, the town became a city, and the soccer team was formed from it.
Last Season Performance: Duria entered the Prime League Playoffs after a massive win over rival Wyfume, entering the competition as a 7th seed wildcard. They beat both NE Champion Poos AFC and SW Champion Club Explosion on the road, before hosting the Championship final against division rival Allenstown and winning 2-0 off goals from Vaughtn and Majors.
 

Northern Way (Currently Prime League - Northwest Division)
Titles: LC Winner (Last Pre-blog Season), NW Division Title (Last Pre-blog Season)
Colors: Light Blue, White, Green, and Black
Major Rivals: Numierro Soccer (Northern Conquest), AFC Dullord, Lewes Peculiar F.C.
Quick Team Synopsis: The older folk of the Northern Way area are descendants of a socialist commune by the same name that headed north during the early settlement days, but collapsed during the first winter due to infighting. The team's founders were among those that survived the first winter, ironically away from the commune that froze to death.
Last Season Performance: Northern Way finished the season clinching a position in the Northwest Division Final by beating rival Numierro into the relegation game, and won the Division over Lewes Peculiar F.C. However the team lost the league quarterfinal match to Allenstown. In the League Cup it was another matter, as the Northern Way stormed off Club Explosion and rival AFC Dullord before hoisting the Cup over Lilyhammer with an Extra Time Goal.

The Inauguration Game will occur later this week. Stay Tuned for a Game Synopsis.
