Tradewind Tankers ‘True Champions’ V/ball Tournament…Young Achievers makes it three in a row

Sep 04, 2012 Sports

Young Achievers were crowned Tradewind Tankers True Champions kings after bringing down the curtains with an emphatic display of dominance to capture the first prize for the third straight year when the competition ended on Saturday evening at the National Gymnasium.
Having gotten off to a modest start by losing their 2’s game to second place, Guysuco Training School’s (GTC1) by a slim margin of 19 – 21, they showed gradual improvement as the day progressed.
In their 4’s match-up, after losing the first of three sets 14 – 16, they managed to turn things around after falling victim to a bad call that ended the game. Captain Randy Adams speaking after the game said that “this motivated the team to play better”, and the results showed it, as they went on to win the next two sets; 15-7 and 15-12.
By the end of the 2’s and 4’s Young Achievers had already secured a 9-points advantage according to the tallying system of the tournament, but they went on to demonstrate that that was inconsequential, winning the 6’s in straight sets; 25-17, 25-19 and 25-20.
In the third place match-up, hosts Castrol Strikers defeated Rollers without dropping a set. After a competitive 2’s match-up which Castrol ended up winning 21-18, Castrol turned up their game a few notches mainly through superior serving to make the 6’s a one sided affair. They easily won the first set 25-15, before clinching the second and third sets; 25-23 and 25-23 to relegate Rollers into 4th place.
At the end of the exciting finals, dominated mainly by prolific spiking and serving by Young Achievers Captain Adams, who once again showed why he is the best Volleyball player in Guyana, trophies were awarded for individual performances along with trophies and monetary prizes for first, second and third placed teams, while fourth place received money alone.
The best blocker trophy went to Creston Rodney of GTC 1, while all the other individual prizes went to Young Achievers with setter Kevin Vieira copping best setter and Randy Adams sweeping the remaining awards; Best Spiker, Best Server and MVP.
The tournament now moves on to the International Challenge which will see the two top finishers; Achievers and TC 1 along with hosts Castrol engage an overseas club team which is to be announced shortly. The International Challenge is scheduled for the end of October.
