Raise your hand if you saw this one coming.
Clifton Heights has returned the favor in their battle royal with the Upper Darby School District.
After the district went to court claiming the borough violated procedures in pushing through some zoning changes in an effort to block the district's efforts to construct a new school on the town's "sacred" athletic fields, now the borough is returning the favor.
Clifton filed in court asking them to allow the borough the ability to review the school district's plans under the new zoning laws.

All of this stems from the bitter battle over Upper Darby School District's decision to build a new, 160,000-square-foot middle school on the borough's treasured athletic fields on Springfield Road.
Borough residents and officials have been outraged at the decision, claiming the site as "sacred ground" that has been an integral part of borough activities, hosting everything from the annual July 4th celebration to a host of youth sporting events.
Also this week the borough's long lease with the school district for use of the fields ends.
Bring on the lawyers.
