Vipers beat Dolphins 3-0 (Report From Mark)

The Vipers played Dolphins on Sunday which was there last chance to prepare before the crucial Horsham game on the 17^th Feb. Dolphins although not as strong as they have been in previous years but proved to be a tough well spirited side.

Vipers had there whole squad available and the game allowed everyone to get valuable court. Vipers started with Mickey and Jimmy as passer hitters, Mark and Nigel through the middle, Damien opposite, Andy L setting and Richard libero. This was the same starting team for all 3 sets with the plan of a good strong start to be able try different options and attacks. The Vipers started well and service runs in each set allowed large leads to open up. Substitutes did well when they came into the game with Paul coming on for Mickey and Andy C through the middle. Matt L also did well when he come on for Andy in an unfamiliar rotation with Damien setting to allow 3 front court hitters.  

At times the Vipers did play well but proved to be to inconsistent and error prone and will need to step up there game for next week..

If anyone is available to come and support on Sunday it would be great and it should be a hard fought competitive game. (8pm warm up WHS)
