Peli oli tuikka kuin mäkärisen perse.
Hauskinta siinä oi se, että neljännenkierrokse tienoilla (tilanne Ritareille 3-0) alettiin Jukan kanssa spekuloimaan sitä epätodennäköisintä vaihtoehtoa mun voitolle. "Ajattele jos kävis niin, että..."

Ja kas, näin kävi ;)
Ja Garro on taas Garro. Death to the false Garro!
