VALMARA AND GINZA ADVANCE TO LEAGUE FINALS
In seventh-game showdowns, the Valmara Vipers crushed and sunk the repeat hopes of the Crystal Lake Skippers for back-to-back Pro Cup trophies... and the darlings of the IPA playoffs, the Ginza Ninjas, surprised powerhouse Oxford and sent them packing from the postseason.
The potent Vipers, now the highest-rated club left in the Pro Cup playoffs, got a stunning comeback 9-6 victory over the Skippers to advance to the Ruthlandian Union title series against the seventh-ranked Sligo Rovers, who upset top-ranked Marston in first round action... Valmara was the second choice to win the Pro Cup trophy this year... and it will be the number eight choice, the unheralded Ginza Ninjas, better known these days as the Karate Kids, taking on the number-three rated team, the strong High Mesa Mustangs in the Tycobbian Union title series... the Ninjas whipped the Red Caps 4-1 to cop the series four games to three... they came back from a 3-2 deficit by capturing the last two games of the series.
