They played seasonally against the mainland teams and those from [[Kiravia]]. A number of the seasons had to be canceled due to the crusades or leprosy, but the years that the league did meet the Albatrosses did well. During the [[Great Confessional War]], the team joined the Christensen army as a free company. They were summarily slaughtered at the Battle of TBD. The team was not reinstated until a temporal team was gathered in [[1607]], they were known then as the NordHalle Longshoremen. They won their first cup in [[1615]] after drafting Cuhullin Ui Shaunessy from [[Kiravia]] as their goalkeeper. With Ui Shaunessy as their defensive backbone, they made it to at least the finals for the next 5 years, winning the cup in [[1617]] and [[1619]]. | ||
After Ui Shaunessy's death of an infected splinter in [[1620]], the team lacked strong cohesion and rarely progressed past the "Burgundie bracket", a name given to the first three games in the tournament for the three teams of the [[Isle of Burgundie]]. The team languished in obscurity for the remainder of the 17th century. | After Ui Shaunessy's death of an infected splinter in [[1620]], the team lacked strong cohesion and rarely progressed past the "Burgundie bracket", a name given to the first three games in the tournament for the three teams of the [[Isle of Burgundie]].
