Part of the action on Sunday
May 27 to win the Berbice Volleyball Association’s Independence Trophy in a one day competition which attracted five teams in Berbice, namely: Port Mourant Jaguars, Albion United, GTC/PM 1 and 2, and Rollers of New Amsterdam.
Due to persistent rainfall, the competition did not commence until 13:30hrs after the GTM Hard court was swept and mopped up. At the conclusion of a round robin competition involving the five teams, the results were GTC/PM 1 won three lost one; GTC/PM 2 lost four; Albion United won one lost three; Port Mourant Jaguars won two and lost two; and Rollers won four.
The match involving Rollers and GTC/PM was virtually a final and saw some exciting rallies as players from both teams sought to gain the upper hand, in the first set Rollers triumphed 25-22, while they won the second 25-16.
Quacy Matheson, Jason Seelochand and Levi Nedd played brilliantly for GTC/PM but their efforts were in vain as Rollers’ strikers Glenroy Clements, Seon Richard, Zaid Quintyn and Osafa De Santos combined well with utility player Errol Chase, most times spiking and blocking well to undo the GTC/PM attack.
At the presentation ceremony held immediately after the competition, BVA President Gregory Rambarran in brief remarks complimented the teams for turning up despite the adverse conditions and singled out individual performances that auger well for Berbice Volleyball.
