ITZ Group Stage Match 3 – results

The third match of the ITZ championship ended with a scoreline that looks quite skewed, but the match itself was anything but one-sided. Aldona Ambotik began with a flurry, racing ahead in the first round, but Panjim Psmartypants quickly caught up with the home team and was even ahead for a short while. The two teams went into the final buzzer round neck-and-neck, with the South Goa Leftovers barely a nose behind. But in the final round, the Ambotik proved too spicy.

A highlight of the match was the lovely home venue provided by one of SEQC's First Families, the Figueiredos. The Green Zone will have its next match also in a picturesque setting, at Arco Iris in Curtorim, the home venue of the South Goa Leftovers team. That match is scheduled for November 2, to be QMed by Lynn Barreto Miranda.
