Still no change to volleyball ladder
ROUND five results saw no changes made to the Corangamite Volleyball Spring season ladder.
NOBTS were involved in the two tightest matches in round five.
With nearly their best team on court, they played consistent volleyball to defeat Ballbusters 2-1 before taking on Poachers.
In their previous clash in round two, NOBTS proved far too good so they would have entered the match feeling confident against the experienced Poachers combination.
Unfortunately for NOBTS it didn’t work out that way, with Poachers playing a near-perfect first two games before relaxing in the third – the end result a 2-1 win to Poachers.
Despite this loss, NOBTS still moved back into third place on the ladder courtesy of Ballbusters going down to top team, Bulls.
Bulls play classy volleyball under the radar, producing their best when needed.
They remain firm favourites for A grade honours.
Freeballers are in ‘free fall’ mode and will need to re-group to press their claims for finals success, while the Cowgirls’ ability to keep the ball in play is winning them many friends.
Results: Cowgirls def Freeballers 3-0, NOBTS def Ballbusters 2-1, Bulls def Freeballers 3-0, Poachers def Cowgirls 4-0, Bulls def Ballbusters 3-1 and Poachers def NOBTS 2-1.
Ladder- Bulls 34, Poachers 32, NOBTS 20, Ballbusters 18, Cowgirls 8, Freeballers 8.
