“After two absolute thrillers in the earlier rounds, Samurai Strike seemed to run out of steam just in time for the final. Perhaps exhausted by the efforts of the semi-final match, the Samurai never managed to get into the game. A stuttering offensive drive in the first half barely limped into TD range before being broken up, while in the second half the Samurai could only play a delaying game in the hope the Posties would make a mistake - which they didn't!

The result was a one sided game which the Posties won at a stroll, giving them plenty of time to finish their rounds and enjoy a pint afterwards.

The highlight of the match was the death of Nage the useless thrower. Nage started the game in style when he fumbled a sure hands pick up. At some point he was blocked and injured with a serious concusion. Coach Katana gave the apothecary the nod and the surgeon proceeded to remove Nage's brain, a flawless cure for a concusion, with the slightly awkward side effect that Nage was rendered dead. It was a fitting end for a truly useless player!

Congratualtions to Eldritch and his postie crew, worthy champions.
