Jets Win First Div1 Match Against Horsham in a 5 Set Thriller

The Jets were without Dom, but welcomed Josh back to the squad after he tried to remove his thumb at work. Horsham1 has seen a number of changes from the team that finished second in Div1 last year, but they won a tight first set against the Jets who started brightly, but faded towards the end of the set.

Strong words from Martin fired up the Jets who took the second with relative ease and carried the momentum in to the third set to take a 2-1 lead. Horsham responded well in the forth to set up 5th set decider. Jets started very well taking an early lead, however stage fright set in at 13-9 and Horsham came back with a late rally to serve for the match at 14-13. It was a very tense end to the set when the Jets won back the serve and Matt Lay managed to serve out for a 3-2 victory.

Wins for the Jets, Demons, Vipers and Sharks take a set from Brighton

The season started well for Worthing Volleyball club with wins for the Jets in a 5 set thriller, Demons winning 3-1 and the Vipers 3-0. The Sharks lost 3-1 away to Brighton, struggled to field a team, but were helped out by Trees, Chantelle and Sandrine.

Sussex Volleyball Association - Social Beach Tournament

Sussex Volleyball Association (Freda) ran a social beach tournament today for all Sussex volleyball teams at Worthing Sand Courts.  It was a cracking day with 3 Worthing and 1 Ashcombe Team entering on their home turf.

Don't worry boys I'll take this one, you just stand there and try to look pretty!

The Mexican Dream Team (Trees, Damo, luis and Em) ran away with first place but the plate was close with speedy gonzales (Andy C, Sabrina, Amy and Dan) just taking it on points against Ashcombe  (Dom, Robyn, Edvin) who fought back to take the second set. 

Last week at the Beach

We will be moving training back indoors to Worthing High School from Tuesday 20th August, with the usual start time 18:00 for the girls and 19:30 for the fellas.

This means that 13th August will be our final beach session and we have decided to end the beach season with a mixed threes or fours competition and a BBQ.

Can you let me know if you want to join in the BBQ and/or the competition.  It be the usual format for the BBQ, minus our head chief as Andy is on holiday.  Amy will buy the food and drink and it normally comes to about £4-£5.

Sandbanks Beach Volleyball Tournament 2013

 For the small group that travelled to Sandbanks the weather gods were kind and we had glorious sunshine all weekend.  A fantastic time was had by both the mixed fours teams and Team Minions made the eventual winners work hard in the second days semi final.  Thanks to Trees for organising the weekend and Carl and James for driving!  

Congratulations to Dom who won the under 16's mens div 2 doubles tournament!
