Winchester Eagles Volleyball Club

A possible ten players made themselves available earlier this week, with two of the older fraternity dropping out due to age related complaints or Grandaddy duties!

Eight it was and what a super performance by 7 of them (Bancey having a shocker) with Captain Mackay having his best evening for Eagles of his career.

Controlled back court play from the team saw us edge past New Forest Vets, with Andy M hitting and blocking beautifully throughout.

The second game was a really strong performance with Marsh and Bance benched. The experience of National league ladies Ang and Nina plus the explosive power of young Robin destroyed any hoped of the Academicals.

Note to Dunc, who had an exemplary game throughout.

Pub duly attended and a couple of nice beers sunk.

Eagles first evening of league volleyball ended with one win and one narrow defeat.

With a bare bones six, the veteran team breezed past the New Forest Youngsters with controlled accurate serving from Andy Mackay and Paul Thwaites. End score 21-6, 21-7

A tougher test awaited, with the highly fancied and noisy Roke Polonia the Eagles Opponents. A tough first set saw Eagles miss out by 4 points, however the team dusted itself down to beat Polonia squarely. Sadly the third set was a step too far losing by 5 points.

A few beers were consumed in the The Junction with 80’s music and video to accompany, rather fitting for the average age of the team!
