PMTC 1 wins Chattergoon Memorial Volleyball Competition
Port Mourant Training Centre 1 (PMTC1) Volleyball Club maintained their unbeaten record this year when they carted off the first place trophy in the Shamshadbagan Chattergoon Memorial Volleyball Competition which was played on Sunday last at the Guysuco Apprentice Centre at Port Mourant, Corentyne.
Winners and officials display their silverware following the presentation.
The competition was organised by the Berbice Volleyball Association (BVA) and sponsored by the Chattergoon Family in memory of their late mother, Shamshadbagan Chattergoon. The Chattergoon siblings, who have represented Guyana at cricket at various levels, are also volleyball enthusiasts.
PMTC 1, who were without their star spiker Quacy Matheson, easily swept aside all their opponents in straight sets due to the brilliant spiking of Ian Bagot and the splendid setting of Captain Jason Seelochan, former National Captain Seon Glasgow and Luen David providing valuable support.
The competition was played on a ‘round –robin’/best of three basis and involved PMTC 1, Port Mourant Jaguars, PMTC 2, Rollers of New Amsterdam, Falcons of Canje and newcomers Skeldon Jets.
Second place winners Port Mourant Jags won four of their five matches, PMTC 2 lost all five, Falcons won three and lost two, Rollers won two and lost three while Skeldon Jets won one and lost four.
At the presentation ceremony after the competition, BVA President Gregory Rambarran thanked the Chattergoon Family for sponsoring the competition, the management of the Guysuco Apprentice Training Centre for granting the use of their facilities, all the teams for participating while also congratulating the winners.
BVA Secretary, and National Volleyball Coach Levi Nedd, in his remarks said he was pleased with the standard of play and was glad that Rollers and Falcons were back on board. He said he was impressed with the skills and standard of play of the youngsters on the Skeldon Jets team and urged all the players to continue to work on their basic skills.
Trophies were presented to the first, second and third placed teams and also to the Best Setter-Jason Seelochan, Best Spiker-Ian Bagot and Best Defence-Seon Glasgow.
The BVA also took the opportunity to present balls to two referees and to the PMTC 1 team that will be participating in an International Club Tournament organised by the Guyana Volleyball Federation this weekend at the National Gymnasium in Georgetown.
