DoubleDuty outclass SuGu

It was the much-anticipated meeting of the top two teams in Pool A. Or was it? What was expected to be a closely fought affair turned into pretty much a whitewash as the ex-Thunder Tigers were in ferocious form against an unusually hapless SuGu.

The match swung wildly, with DoubleDuty taking the first three boards, getting 5 points on the first, and then a huge 11 points, and finally 6 more, to take them to an unassailable lead of 22-0 to the shock of the audience that had assembled there, who couldn't believe that SuGu were taking it up the a** this way; that too from another team, and not from each other as is common.
At this critical juncture, Knurd and Black had a brief conversation:

Knurd: "??"
Black: "???"

The next board saw something truly remarkable, something not seen before in FPL history, and something we doubt will ever be seen again.
BlackFufy breaks, pocketing 2 whites, and following it up with 3 more.
HeavyDutyFufy plays. Pockets a black.
KnurdFufy plays. Pockets the queen, and the remaining 4 whites.
Game over. 13 points from one board.

It definitely looked like a mammoth comeback was on the cards, as SuGu won the next two boards, bringing the score to a 22-22 tie.

However, those expecting a spirited fight were let down, as DoubleDuty pulled out all the stops, slowing down the game, and refusing to give SuGu any room to re-enter the game, winning the match in the next two boards.

The end of the match saw widespread jubilation at the (eventual) fall of SuGu. The two teams still remain at the top of Pool A however, and are looking forward to the semifinals against the teams from Pool B.

MoM : SnakeFufy, for playing brilliantly, and (f***ing yet AGAIN telling HeavyDuty what to do for every single shot, who followed his orders perfectly..yet again!!)
