“This was the final game of Things I Like's debut Premier season. Ageing rolls hadn't been kind to the team throughout the season. With quite a few ageing niggles building up it meant this would be the last game for a few of the team's greatest players.

Lacrosse, the ST6 Break Tackle Multiblock Mummy managed to ignore the pains from his aging body to come out onto the field one last time. And once he got on the field there was no stopping him. He badly hurt an ST4 Blodging Catcher with his first block of the game and just kept on going from there.

T4 saw him KO one elf and SI (-ST) another on a Multiblock Blitz. In T6 he KO'd 2 more elves on another Multiblock Blitz. With the way he was playing it was surprising that the Undead were down 2-0 at half time. When it takes you 7 attempts before you can pick up the ball it isn't entirely surprising though.

Still, the Undead fans were enjoying the game, despite the scoreline. Dexter, the other Mummy in the team, joined in on Lacrosse's farewell match, seriously injuring a elf in the restart after the second touchdown for the elves. Just to finish off the half, Lacrosse scored his third casualty for the half, SI'ing yet another elf. His half-time tally stood at 3 CAS and 3 KO's from 8 blocks.

His rampage continued in the second half, although the elves learnt to keep well away from him where possible so his opportunities were limited. He badly hurt the elf Thrower after the elves forgot about the fact Lacrosse was Buzzing. A short time later the Thrower was watching the rest of the match from the sidelines.

The elves managed to score a third TD early in the second half, despite Lacrosse's best efforts. However their lack of numbers meant they were unable to stop the Undead from opening their scoring account to end the match.

Overall it was a fitting finale for the Things I Like's greatest ever player. Lacrosse will definitely be missed by the team next season. Players like that don't come around very often. To lose him due only to Father Time catching up with him makes it even harder to take.

Unfortunately for the team AFL, another founding member and their best ever Wight and Playstation, a 24 game veteran Ghoul, will probably be joining Lacrosse in retirement. Ageing has wearied their bones now to the point that they can no longer make it onto the park for every game.

Still, the show must go on. The team has saved up some money and will hopefully be able to replace the players in their quest to return to the Premier league.

Congrats on the premiership Snorri. You definitely earned it.

On to next season!
