Devils battle to a 3-2 victory

Devils had a full squad to face an experienced Brighton Adora team.  Worthing started brightly with good hitting from Chantelle and Trees and everyone was on their toes back court getting good first balls into Mel and covering the block.  Devils took an early lead, which they never looked like relinquishing.  They finished 25 – 14 winners following a run of 6 points on Sintija serve at 19-14.

Brighton came back in the next two sets with good play back court recycling the ball and slowly picked off the points to win 25 – 15 and 25 – 23 in a tense third set.

In the fourth set both teams started well but Devils kept their heads and started finding the holes.  Again Sintija had a strong service run of 8 points to give the Devils a 12 – 3 lead and with Chantelle covering a lot of court and making good use of the roll down the line Devils took the fourth set, making this their second five setter in two games.

Having won the last set Devils started the final set with the momentum in their favour and kept nosing in front only for Adora to pull level.  At 14-13 finally Chantelle (MVP) claimed the match winning hit.  To end a very good (if nerve racking for spectators) game of volleyball.

Special mention has to go to the spectators who got behind the team.  They helped create a great atmosphere giving the team a boost during some very tight sets.
