Monthly Report From Dan

So we're already at the end of January and the league tables are starting to take shape.  Vipers are still challenging for the title, but have a lot of work to do to make up lost ground to both Brighton Jaguars and Crawley who have both only lost one game. Jets have continued their promising start to the season and with a couple more wins should guarantee div1 volleyball next year, rather than leaving it to the final game of the season like last year!   The Sharks have pushed most teams all the way with a lot of five setters, but haven't managed to win that crucial final set....yet!

The ladies played a few more games in the first half of the season and Angels are starting to gel, although they miss Em on court, they have still picked up some good wins and are getting their heads around the positions.  Demons with a number of new players and missing some experienced ones (Dorothee and Lorna) have a few games in jand and with a couple of wins could still match last years impressive position.  Devils are currently top, but still have to play Dolphins and Crawley away and EG1 at home, so lots of good volleyball to come!

National league the Ladies are traveling to Manchester today for the Quarter finals of the National Cup to play Salford a strong Super8 team and have some tough games in the League to play still including Bath and New Forest!  There is no training for the next couple of weeks, its back on 25th February at the High School (20:00 - 22:00).

Doubles and triples
Emma and Carl will be a little too pre-occupied to run the doubles and triples tournament on 2nd and 3rd May this year. Is there anyone keen to step up and give it a go? All profits go towards keeping the club membership fees at £10 per month. Speak to Andy, Em or me if you are interested ASAP!

Key dates
Tuesday 3rd March - no training, there will be a social instead (probably curry and maybe bowling look out for more details nearer the time) 

Tuesday 28th April - Free curry, AGM and awards (again details will be sent out nearer the time - save the date!)

If anyone has any ideas for awards this year (serious or comedy) then please let me know!

Saturday 16th May - SEVA Men’s

Sunday 17th May - SEVA  Ladies
