Both Zeno and Archimedes looked formidable. Zeno's captain Harshal returned a day before from Bangalore[1].
The match began. The first set began as if Archimedes were in a tearing hurry to wrap up the match. They took a cool 11 - 1 lead. Too fast too furious. They marched past to 13 - 3
But Volleyball had a will of its own. Somehow Archimedes went in a shell. A shell from which they could never recover.
Zeno were getting things working for them. The score got tied at 17 - 17.
Zeno continued the momentum and won the first set 21 - 17.
Time for a break. Hemal, the official referee for the match decided this was a right time to "Express yourself".
Archimedes had to break even the second set to stay in contention. But Archimedes were in no mood for a fight. Two teams one goal. Same goal, actually. As if they were helping Zeno to win.
In the middle of all these things, the willful Volleyball decided to settle on top of a tree. As this picture says it all.
And then Archimedes lost track of the rotating order. No one knew who would serve next. It all helped Zeno as they cruised to 21 - 8 win.
In the end, Zeno were the tortoise. They were persistent. They won. Kachhua jalao, Archimedes bhagao.
[1] - We suspect he came back for the match. But it's all Hush Hush ! ;-)

Well we just had to prove "ZENO ko harana mushkil hi nahin na mumkin hai". It was fantastic effort, we had no clue about rotation business but after 11-1 score we were all settle and ready to fight. We could rotate effortlessly and kept things simple. We won convincingly.
