DC Season 4 Championship

Prifddinas Golden Knights (2nd place) vs. Caer Eurfryn Defenders (4th place)
For the first time ever, the teams vying for the Thaler Cup come from cities in the same country, in this case the Kingdom of Teyrnas. Prifddinas and Caer Eurfryn are only about 75 miles apart on the Great Caravan Road, but the political and cultural rift between them is enormous; these cities have a long rivalry and a deep animosity that goes far beyond sports. There were no fireworks in this game, however, just some great soccer. The first half was dominated by goalkeeping, with the Defenders' Primus and Dragons' Morcan matching each other save for save. Early in the second half, star midfielder Edern scored to give Prifddinas a 1-0 advantage. The Defenders tried to push back, but struggled to maintain consistent pressure in the offensive zone. As time slipped away, defender (yes, in retrospect, it's kind of awkward that there's a team that shares a name with a position on the field) Cadawg turned the ball over right in front of Primus, leading to an easy goal by Prifddinas superstar Niall, the league's all-time leader in playoff goals. The final score was 2-0, and now the Prifddinas Golden Dragons have their second Thaler Cup!
