Volleyball Centre of Excellence
After a busy Saturday afternoon for a majority of the team playing at the U18 National Cup qualification round, RVB arrived at Aschombe sport centre ready to take home 3 points from Sussex Dolphins to keep pressure on Oxford and Reading.
With 8 games left in the season Richmond Volleyball Club Women Div 2 team carries on with their quest for a play off position as a minimum.
After a well deserved rest, the team started their very busy schedule with a double header last weekend.
Although the Saturday home game was vs Bristol, the bottom of the league, a long Christmas break meant that RVB needed to focus hard to get an upper hand to secure a 3-1 win. In the first set the strongest starting six did not manage to avoid unforced errors and showed rather lack of determination which resulted in losing 22-25.
Last weekend NVL2 team traveled away to play vs current league leader Reading Aces.What a game it was! Richmond did not leave any hope for Aces wrapping up the match in 3 sets.
It is time to celebrate!!
What a weekend it was! 2 wins for Richmond NVL2 team in the League and Shield matches.
In the Saturday regular NVL fixture against Team Essex Trinity, a last minute minor injury to the captain Katie Keefe and Issie Russell’s absence forced Head Coach Giorgio Scatigna-Gianfagna “GSG” to tweak the line-up again. That was probably the reason for a bit nervous start on the Richmond side while the starting 6 were finding their rhythm.
Richmond NVL2 Women’s team started their countdown to Christmas with travelling to Southampton last Sunday and bringing home 3:0 victory. One done, three to go in the next two weeks !
Richmond stormed to a commanding lead by the second technical timeout in the first and second set – 16-7 and 16-9 respectively.
