Richmond Volleyball Community programmes offers many opportunities for many people of all ages and genders to take part and play lots of volleyball in structured environments building strong community links with other local volleyball clubs/teams, Sport England, London Sport, Surrey Active, Local Authorities, Universities, Schools, and our key partners Honda, Nestle, and Goldeneye. So how are the RVB community programmes contenders shaping up so far?

Richmond Docklands succumb to second successive league defeat

After a thoroughly dispiriting home performance against long-time rivals London Malory, Docklands had a full three weeks to stew until their next on-court appearance against fellow newcomers to Super 8s action Essex Blaze.

Team Essex came into the game winless in five competitive outings, but Richmond Docklands were well aware of the young side’s ability augmented by their rigorous coaching and training regime.

The question for Essex seemed to be when, not if, they would get their first victory of the season and a ring-rusty Richmond Docklands walked straight into a punch that left the side nursing their second successive league defeat.

On Saturday morning when Richmond Docklands set foot on the University of East London’s court to take on London Lynx in Super8s action, it had been a full three weeks since the team’s last competitive fixture.
