The Jets travelled to Storrington without their coach (playing for Vipers at Hastings), Luis, Bernard and a late arriving Martin. The Jets lost a close first set with Iain setting, but with Martin taking over setting duties they won the second set 25-8. Two close sets followed, but Storrington managed to win them both and win their first match of the season (I suspect many more wins should follow before the season ends).
Vipers were away at Hastings and without Matt, Dom and Mark and moved to an early 7-0 lead before taking their foot of the pedal. They eventually got back in to the set which they won with some good blocking from Andrew and hitting from Jimmy. The second set saw the Vipers struggle to serve consistently and get a good pass to the setter resulting in Hastings winning by 2 points.
Vipers managed to wake up in the next 2 sets and close out a comparatively easy match 3-1.
Matt Lay picked up MVP for Jets and Damo for the Vipers.
Vipers head to the Christmas back at the top of the league on sets difference from Arun who beat Eastbourne 3-2 on Thursday in one of most fiercely contested leagues for many years.
