Monthly Update From Dan.

Hey, So that's it for another season, hopefully you have all enjoyed it!! This is the last monthly update until the end of August/September and as an added bonus you'll now have a break from Teamer too! 

Angels in their first season have progressed quickly and surprised a number of teams, ensuring early on that they wouldn't be propping up the table. 

Demons last night played Teela and as always this went the full distance of five sets, with the winners taking fifth spot in the league. Unfortunately Demons couldn't quite get to the finish line first, but played some good volleyball and if they could have sided out a little earlier on a couple of rotations it would have been a different story. 

Devils finished their season away to Crawley ladies, missing Brinee and with an injured Sintija and Mel. By hustling hard, they managed to overturn a 2 set and 7-1 deficit in the third, to claim a 3-2 victory, thanks to help from Robyn, Illona and the welcome return after maternity leave of Em and Agi (they were loudly supported by Agi's mum and Amy). That means they win the league undefeated - Congratulations Devils! 

The Sharks took a little longer to get off the bottom of the table, but two victories late in the season were enough and for the first time in a few years Sharks have played the majority of games this year with a full Sharks squad or just one player helping out! Now they have worked out who is playing where and have a bit more structure to their play, hopefully they will be able to push on in Div2 next year. 

Jets last year took it to the final game of the season to ensure their survival in Div1, this year they have won or taken all their home games to 5 sets (except against Vipers) and early on won enough games to stay up, finishing the season with a comfortable 3-0 at home. 

Vipers after a slow start losing to Crawley and Brighton fought back and put themselves in a fantastic position where a win at home to Brighton would give them the League title on sets difference. It wasn't to be, even after a storming start to the game winning the first set, so they ended up second in a transitional year and will be looking to start next season strong! It was good to see Mark on court for the first time in a while even if he was looking a little nervous with his first serve 😉 

The Worthing Ladies National League team, have won back to back promotions, winning the Ladies South division 2 league, which means they'll be doing a little more travelling next year as they enter National League Div1 which covers the whole of England and Wales…..Boom!😈 

The plan for the next two weeks is… A mini tournament tomorrow, Tuesday 21st April if you can turn up between 6:45-7 to warm up and we'll start shortly after that! So fairish teams can be picked, can you let me know if you are planning to attend either via teamer or message me. Hope you've been nice to Andy, as he picks the teams and as we all know his team have won the last three tournaments - Just saying! 

Finally it’s the AGM (in case you hadn't heard!) on the 28th April, it's looking like there's going to be a big turn out, which is a really positive sign that everyone has enjoyed the year and like the format of the AGM, either that or you all want to join the committee! 7:15 -7:30 Meet in the bar at the John Seldon 20:00 Food will be ready 20:30/21:00ish the AGM will start For those of you that aren't local/haven't been before here's the address; The John Selden, Half Moon Lane, Worthing BN13 2EN After that its's beach and tournaments all the way through to the end of August! There's no teamer for beach, we have the courts every week and we'll make teams up on the night. Although you might want to check the Facebook page/group if the weather isn't so great before heading down! Catch you then Dan
