The long delayed GuyOil / Tradewind Tankers True Champions Volleyball Tournament is set to resume on Saturday with semi-final action, at the National Gymnasium, starting from 16:00 hrs.
The tournament which was interrupted late last year to facilitate repairs to the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall will now be played on the newly laid Taraflex Floor at the National Gymnasium and volleyball fans are being urged to come out and witness a true exhibition of skills among some of the best teams in the country.
According to a release from the Organisers, the games will be played in three formats, the 2’s, 4’s and 6’s and the teams in the semis include the unbeaten Young Achievers, Castrol Strikers, Port Mourant Training School and Port Mourant Jaguars.

The release added that the two teams with the best record at the end of the day will advance to the final set for March 17, while the other two will battle for third place.
Over $200,000 in cash and prizes are up for grabs.
The fixtures are: Young Achievers #1 seed takes on #4 seed Castrol Strikers, while Port Mourant Training School #2 seed battles #3 seed Port Mourant Jaguars.
