Jets travelled to Horsham without Martin, Turbo and Bernard needing a win to help secure Div1 status. Without our regular setters Trees joined the Jets as setter opposite Matt Wilkes, with Matt and captain Josh through the middle and Luis and Dom through the outside.
With a different setter and playing in to the sun the Jets struggled to find their rhythm, but soon got on top to see out a close first set. Without the sun in their eyes the Jets started the second set well and after a mid set wobble, recovered to go 2-0 up.
2-0 up and it was time to mix things up and give Iain the chance to set! Playing in to the sun again meant too many poor first passes and despite some great blocking from Josh the Jets lost the third set 26 - 24.
Trees back setting and a fading sun behind us was not enough to prevent a poor start to the set and at 7-1 down the coach called a time out to read the riot act! The Jets won the serve back and some great serving from Matt L got them back in to the match. More control, less mistakes and the Jets were serving for the match.
A great result and good all round performance oh and this week our Libero Dan actually managed to touch the ball!
