Jesters Three-Peat

To Recap
Week 1: Jesters get down 10-0 in first game, second game is close, lose the night
Week 2: Jesters get down 10-0 in first game, second game is close, lose the night

Two time league champion Denfield Destroyers made the short trip to Haddington Ct to take on the Court Jesters. The Jesters wanted to avoid the slow starts that have plagued them so far this season, and won the volley for serve. That is when things took a turn for the worse. The first serve of the game went into the brand new net and sent the brand new net into the ground. Things did not improve in Game 1 for the Jesters, and Denfield cruised to a 10-0 lead and enjoyed an easy victory.

The Destroyers did not enjoy the second game as much. The Yellow Warriors (yellow is the new red) got out to an early lead that DD could not quite recover from. After the Jesters victory, cheers could be heard from as far away as Bernota field where the Saddle Ridge Slammers were doing some destroying of their own (though I am told these two teams hold no ill will for each other despite what may have happened in last year's championship).

Denfield recovered in Game 3 and took the match 2-1. This preserved both teams' current streaks. A friendly fourth game followed where the Jesters employed some skills and techniques that would have been more effective had they occurred in Game 1 or Game 3. But this game was just for fun, so I won't mention that the Jesters won.

Here are some pictures that show that women can serve more than just dinner:
