DVA A division league Strikers grab 5 points in upset win
The Demerara Volleyball Association (DVA) A Division league continued on Friday night at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) on Homestretch Avenue where Castrol Strikers, who dwelled at the bottom of the league table since its inception, pulled off a huge upset and defeated Eagles Volleyball Club in three straight sets to now sit in second of the three-team league.
Castrol Strikers copped their first win of the DVA First Division League on Friday night.
Castrol Strikers dominated the Eagles in the first set by a margin of 25-19, and continued with their aggression to win the second set 25-2.
Strikers were down by seven points in the third set but they overcame that deficit to eventually win the third set 25-22, gaining two bonus points in the process.
The top scorers from Castrol strikers were Vance Harding with 15 points, Omari Joseph with six points and Devon Bowman also with six points.
The next match day of the league is this Tuesday at the same CASH venue where Castrol strikers will look to continue their winning momentum against the undefeated Young Achievers that are top of the table with six points. Castrol’s win on Friday saw them grab five points and are second while Eagles languish at the bottom with three points.
Meanwhile, last Sunday, the Senior National Volleyball Team showcased their dominant skill and IQ over the National U23 select team with a commanding three sets to one defeat in the third leg of the best in five series at the CASH.
This was a welcomed result after losing the first two matches in the series since Sunday’s fixture was a must-win match for the seniors who did not disappoint. The first set of the game went in favor of the Seniors after defeating the youth 25-17. The under-23 men then came back bouncing in the second set defeating the seniors 25-21.
The seniors then claimed the third and fourth sets 25-16 and 25-22, respectively.
The top scorers on the Senior National team were Quacy Matheson with 14 points, Trevon McRae with 13 points, Juan Valezquez (13 points) and Klondyke Rodney (12 points).
The top performers for the National U23 team were Ronaldo Bobb with 16 points, Kristoff Shepperd who notched 13 points and Andy Rohoman with 8 points.
The fourth leg of the series will be played on the 11th of September 2021.
