Autumn volleyball underway
POACHERS and Bulls have jumped out of the Corangamite volleyball starting blocks with two convincing wins in round one.
This season sees seven teams entered in the competition, along with the unknown Pirates combination that has entered for the first time.
Although beaten in the first two matches, Slugs has excellent height in its side and looks likely to be the big improvers in 2024.
NOBTS has a major change in personnel during this early part of the season, with injury and age catching up with last year’s line-up.
Several players are likely to return as they find fitness after extended breaks.
Last season’s premiers, Stallions, will remain strong contenders while Poachers and Bulls are in good early-season form and are sure to be in contention again.
Round one results:
Poachers def Slugs 3-1, Ballbusters def Pirates 3-1, Stallions def Slugs 3-1, Poachers def NOBTS 3-0, Bulls def Stallions 2-1, Bulls def Pirates 3-1 and NOBTS def Ballbusters 3-0.
The ladder after April 23:
Poachers 8, Bulls 8, Stallions 4, NOBTS 4, Ballbusters 4, Pirates 0, Slugs 0.
