The Sharks continue to struggle to field the same 6 players for another match and this time were helped by Andy Lay and Trees as both Paul and Tim were unable to play due to work commitments.
The Sharks lost the first set as they adjusted to the new line up, but came back strongly in the second set with some canny tips from Jon and good hitting from Eber and Luis through the outside.
A slight wobble in the third set until a great pick up from Eber and improved hitting from Lars through the middle. The Sharks cruised to a 3-1 victory and how to have a full squad for the next match.

Devils beat Dolphins2 3-0
Sintija returned for the Devils who only had 6 players for their match against Dolphins2. The Devils eased to a 3 set victory thanks to some strong serving and the Dolphins struggling to return serve. Sintija served out the first set with nearly 20 serves in a row with strong "musical" support from the side lines. Despite little coming back from the opposite side of the court the Devils maintained a high standard and won the second set without any problems. Some good hitting down the line from Emma in the final set once she finally managed to find her range and hit the ball the right side of the line ;-)
Good concentration, strong serving and hitting for three sets resulted in the 3-0 victory and MVP for Trees.

Referees Course
As the last referees course was oversubscribed there is to be another on the weekend of 26/27 January at Ashcombe, Dorking.
We could do with more qualified referees in the Club. If anyone is interested please let Nigel Or Paul know as soon as possible. Best way is to respond to Nigel's email or speak to him or Paul at training.
Please can we remind each team that you must provide enough players to officiate at others double header fixtures. Ideally you must provide 1st and 2nd ref's, two people to score and two line judges. Please can we start to get more people trained to use the score sheets which really are not as hard as they look to get filled in correctly. It is each teams responsibility to ensure you provide enough officials and ensure they either arrive before your match or stay after you have played.
Thanks "the Management"........

Sharks beat Kings 3 - 1
Sharks were struggling to field a full team with Paul and Jon both unavailable so Andy stepped in from the Vipers to coach and play for their match against Kings2.
The Sharks won the first 2 sets with relative ease once they got used to playing with a 2 setter system again. Strong serving kept Kings under pressure along with consistent hitting from Lars through the middle and Luis through the outside.
Tim varied his set well and managed to find the line with some reverse hitting to keep up the pressure early in the third set, but Kings rallied to take it to a fourth set. The Sharks dominated the set with good hitting from Eber and Jan. Kings did not help themselves by trying to dispute decisions with Emma who, as usual, was not taking any nonsense! Luis picked up MVP and the Sharks look forward to their next match where they will hopefully have less problems getting six players together, but I just hope they will be able to cope without the strong serving of their guest Viper ;-)
Sorry for forgetting to take team pictures, but probably best to wait until you have a full team anyway!

Devils
The Devils were the SVA league and cup winners last season and are coached by Viper Nigel Jupp.
Here are some pictures from their recent win against the Demons.
Devils Vs Demons by Debbie
It was like strawberry ice cream vs mink choc chip; everyone
has their favourite, and its hard to call the winner, but despite the huge
fight and temptation of French fancies, the Demons sadly lost 3.0 to those
first team beauties once again!
Each nail biting set saw the demons flying around court, and
steeling some cheeky points, there was moments
of elation and triumph, but despite the roars of ALLO ALLO..erm I mean Allez,
allez, and load hand slapping team spirit, a lack of football skills and Peach’s best serve of the season...all
was not lost as the Demons came up trumps with
darn fine cheese scones...Well done to the POM; Sabrina Farley..it was putting your sister off that clearly won you the honour!
The excitement never ends...which cake will Sabrina bake????
