Liga Starblaydia - Season 2
First Half
Life in Liga Starblaydia didn't start off well for Sciapos or Bisarely as they were thumped on the opening day by Hallad and Hecia as they topped the table after Day one, Raphael Delgado with an opening-day Hat-trick for the Reavers. Once again the Daii started poorly and sat in the quagmire of the lower-top-half, all the way to mid-season. Beverington Hawks managed the longest 100% record from the beginning of the season, which lasted just three matches until their Matchday 4 loss to Hallad. The Daii, however, remained unbeaten (though with 5 draws) until Matchday 10 when the Widdrington Wolves scraped a 1-0 win in Widdrington. Vecchio Victors took an early lead, which stretched to the mid-season mark. Itechton Matranga's Jhanna United were being utterly destroyed, partly thanks to a lack of goal-threat from an injured Itechton. With the top nine teams being separeated by just four points, the benefits of 'winning ugly' soon became apparent.

Second Half
With 10 games to go, Montepool were the only team at the top to keep their defence relatively-unbreached, putting them level at the top with the free-scoring Jhanna City. Though only three points separated the top four, and a further single point encompassing the next three teams. This was a very open Championship.

With Jhanna City scoring so freely, Jhanna United were at the opposite end of the table. Recently-promoted Bisarely Town's Goalscoring feats were only better than perennial time-wasters Hersch Albion.

The Final Matchday
Hecia were two points clear with a single match to go, a point better off than last Season. Would they throw it away again as they did in Season One? Hecia, Iskara Daii, Montepool Waves and even Tabeck - by way of a miracle - could take the title.

With one game to go at the bottom, Hersch and Bisarely were merely playing for pride as neither could get themselves out of the Relegation Zone with three points, leaving Veles and Sciapos safe.
