Worthing travelled to East Grinstead1 who've picked up some good players in the off season and are a well organised team with powerful serves. Devils had a full squad except for Mel which meant Robyn was setting throughout the match.
The team that played in the NL started, but were slow back court and weren't looking for the gaps when hitting. They still had enough to win the set 25-23

Devils started the second set with the same team except Gemma came on for Sabrina. Again they struggled back court, but Gemma played well especially front court when she put in some strong blocks. However Devils just lost by 2 points.
It took till the third set before Devils found the motivation to start playing. Tree's made some great pick ups (diving practice paying off) and was hitting intelligently mixing the power hits with rolls and tips into the gaps keeping EG unsure what to expect. She was supported by Sintija and Chantelle who started hitting the lines and the holes in the defence. Agata in only her second match back also started strongly covering well back court and putting EG under pressure with a good block.
In the fourth set Em and Robyn were linking up well running the short and Em clearly had the taste for it as she started killing lose first ball's over from back court "'ave it!". Robyn won a joust at the net against a tall middle. I'm not sure who was more surprised us or MVP Robyn.
