Sep 19, 2021 Sports

The curtains have fell on the Demerara Volleyball Association’s (DVA) ‘A’ Division tournament when Eagles Volleyball Club (EVC) has emerged champions after making light work of Young Achievers Volleyball Club (YAVC) in straight sets of game two of the three-game finals on Friday night last at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH).

The match served off at 19:30hrs at the Homestretch Avenue venue and Young Achievers which had topped the points tally at the end of the round-robin stage one week ago, were in a must win game but couldn’t keep up with the animated Eagles unit.
Eagles had won game one last Tuesday 3-2 in a much more competitive clash but they didn’t spare any energy on Friday in the presence of a decent sized crowd. Eagles showed why they are one of the best teams in the country as they played as a collective unit to defeat their opponents 25-18, 25-18, 26-24. Young achievers were no match for the dominance of the Eagles attackers.
Leading the scoring for the champions were Trevon McRae with 14 points, Kristoff Shepperd and Quacy Matheson 12 points each.
The best players of the tournament were recognized as follows: Best Setter – Carlos de la Toore, Best Libero – Bepaul Bandoo, Best Outside – Quacy Matheson, Best Opposite – Juan Valesquez, Best Middle Blocker – Trevon McRae, Most Improved Player – Kirby Richards, Finals MVP – Trevon McRae.
The DVA and the Guyana Volleyball Federation (GVF) have extended gratitude to the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport and the National Sport Commission for their continued support in the development of sport in Guyana.
