Vipers Match Report for Eastbourne by Mark

Vipers vrs Eastbourne

The Eastbourne game before Christmas as expected proved to be a hard fought encounter.

Esatbourne arrived with a strong team with a few new recruits and were well coached and organised. Vipers also had full squad other than the ever injured Mark but struggled to find their game.

Eastbourne started strongly, had a real desire to win and this combined with too many errors from the Vipers meant they won the first 2 sets. Vipers did come back strongly to win sets 3 and 4 and the fight they showed was good to see. The 5^th set to did not start well for the vipers with Eastbourne taking an early lead and with the shortened format in the 5^th set is was to much and Eastbourne deservedly won the game.

As mentioned in previous match reports the game highlights the high standard of the league this year with a number of strong teams which is encouraging for all involved.
