Fresh from a victory in another competition a week ago, the Sunshine Supermarket Jaguars took full advantage of the absence of arch rivals Port Mourant Training School volleyball teams to play unbeaten and win the round robin competition from Albion Community Centre and home team and new comers Union/ Renaissance No53 Sports Club Volleyball team. Being represented by only five players the Jaguars defended and counterattacked stoutly as they clawed their way to victory.
In the final they thwarted a spirited effort of the Albion outfit to rebound from a set down to win 16-25, 25-13 and 25-12 for a 2-1 win. In earlier play the Jaguars defeated the Union/ Renaissance No53 team (2-0) 25-21, 21-14, while Albion had a difficult time before getting past the newly formed Union/ Renaissance No53 team edging past (2-1) 22-25, 25-14, 15-08 in a close encounter that thrilled the large crowd that attended to witness an exciting event.
At the presentation ceremony held immediately after the completion of the competition, Coordinator Mrs. Waveney Dorsett presented the winning Desmond Dorsett Memorial trophy to the captain of the Port Mourant Jaguars team Afraz Khan and congratulated the winners and wished them well in the future and expressed gratitude to the sponsor. The winning trophy was donated by Assistant Superintendent of Police Gary McAllister.
