The finale of the Essex Volleyball Season saw the Janet Bedford Essex Ladies Cup and the Paul Bohannon Essex Men’s Cup contested at St John Payne School in Chelmsford for finals day 2018. The day was a successful one for Brentwood Volleyball Club who were victorious in both competitions. The day saw a return to the familiar “one set shootout” format of the last few seasons. This made for a fascinating day of Volleyball.
Ladies Competition
The ladies played in a round robin format with the Brentwood Slappers winning on point’s difference from the East U17 Girls performance Squad. Who alongside their U15 counterparts made their debuts in adult volleyball competition. It is hoped Eastern Region participation will continue in the coning years.
Men’s Competition
The men’s competition ran over two pools and then a knockout competition. Brentwood Bombers were victorious in a tense final against the debutant Hussars VC team from Chelmsford. Hussars were taking part in their first in Essex competition and we look forward to welcoming them into the men’s league next season. Also making their debut were the East boys U15 and U17 performance squads. The U17’s showed their potential to walk away with the Essex Plate in the secondary knockout competition.
Overall it was a successful iteration of finals day. Stay tuned for more details on Finals Day 2019 which should be coming as we approach the new season.
