Turn back the clock 11 months. The mighty Jesters of Haddington Court dominate the first round of the tournament, and are nearly unstoppable. They survive the quarter-final round, and only have 1 team to get past to make it to the championship game. That team was the Saddle Ridge Slammers. It was a hard fought match, but the Jester's season ended that fateful Saturday across the net from the mighty Slammers.
Tonight was rematch time.
Game 1 was a good battle up until the point it was 8-8. The Slammers went on a bit of run then, and the Jesters never caught up. The Slammers took the game 21-13, Big Yellow tried not to think of last August.
The Jesters were not ready to die just yet, however. Game 2 was a battle of the ages, and the Jesters held off a late game rally to win the contest 21-13.
Bring on Game 3 - The Decider. Now the Jesters were ready to die. Saddle Ridge rode out to an early lead of 5-0, and the Jesters did not have it in them to even get to 13 before the game was over. Final score Slammers 21, Jesters 11.
Like beer, revenge is best served cold, so perhaps these two teams will meet again in August and the Jesters will have another chance.
We'll be ready for you, Slammers. Unless we're not.
