Apr 30, 2016 Sports

After a hiatus of at least a decade, the Demerara Volleyball Association (DVA) will today crown a schools champion as they run off the County finals of their first school tournament for the new administration.
The tournament which serves off at 10:00 hrs today, at the National Gymnasium, will see the top teams from the respective zones: West Demerara; Georgetown and Linden do battle to bring pride to their respective zones in the one day round robin finals.
After a successful preliminary phase which saw Patentia Secondary win the West Demerara leg and St. Rose’s High and Linden Foundation Secondary triumphant in the Georgetown and Linden legs reapectively, the tournament now sets sight on crowning an overall Demerara Champion.
The tournament which was made possible by generous support from: Indesco, the primary sponsor for the Georgetown leg; Angcam Marine Supplies who sponsored the West Demerara leg; Talk is Cheap Travel Agency, the primary sponsor for the Linden leg and Digice and the Guyana Volleyball Federation whose sponsorship were very helpful throughout the entire tournament and expected to play a major role in the final leg, will also see runners up, Leonora Secondary from the West, Christianburg Wismar Secondary from Linden and Queen’s College and Marian Academy from Georgetown join the zone champions to put on a spectacle for the fans and supporters are anticipated to flock the National Gymnasium.
Excited by the response of the schools so far in this tournament, President of the DVA, Trevor Williams is already talking about running off another school tournament later in the year as, Youth and School Volleyball has been identified by the Association and Federation as an area of focus moving forward.
Williams also pointed out that outstanding players from this tournament will get an opportunity to further develop themselves in the sport because immediately after the completion of the finals, a male and female school team will start preparations to represent Demerara at the inter county championship scheduled for next Saturday, May 7, at the same venue.
Also in the pipeline for youth volleyball, the Guyana Volleyball Federation will be selecting male and female teams to represent the country at the upcoming U19 and U23 South American Championships which are scheduled to serve off in Colombia in June of this year and the cream of the crop is expected to come from the schools participating in the ongoing championships.
