This is the first time a team has made the Bannerman Shield final three seasons in a row.

Never would've thought it would've been the Vipers to do it, FMD.

 

They've made it to the final series (includes the semi-final) four times in a row now, which is every season since re-admission.

 

You're new so you're probably not fully aware of the backstory - the first edition if you like of the Vipers was pretty much the worst club in CricSim history.

They came into the competition in Season 4, and got the wooden spoon.
In Season 5 they also got the wooden spoon but a bigger margin and were a complete embarrassment. The Pumas actually had a very poor team in Season 5 but they finished well clear of the Vipers because they were just that bad. %XX Meister hit 375 against them in one match. And that doesn't even begin to touch on the many, many off-field dramas they had and the terrible quality of their rookies' posting.

They intended to carry on in Season 6 but with so many players leaving and an already awful squad they just weren't going to be able to, so they folded. They returned to the Bannerman Shield in Season 8 .. and have made the finals every season since. Awesome turnaround.
