It has been an incredibly busy start to the season around the county, with teams at all levels of the game well into their fixtures for this season. Today we take a look at a quick look at the fortunes of our five National Volleyball League teams.
Men’s Super League – Team Essex Blaze
Blaze have made a good start to their second campaign in the top division. They rattled off three quick wins to begin the campaign against Sheffield Hallam, Newcastle Staffs and Southampton VC. However they have now lost two on the spin, going down against IBB Polonia in a five set thriller and Richmond Docklands. With three crucial games to go before the league splits mid-season, the team will need all your support in the final remaining home game at the University of Essex Sports Centre on December 8th.
Men’s Division 1 – Tendring VC Men
Tendring are on a roll having blasted away the competition with a perfect start to the season. Last year’s unbeaten winners of Division 2 South have continued their good form, dropping only a single set so far this year. They have a home match on December 9th at the University of Essex Sports Centre in Colchester. Head down and support them on their quest for promotion.
Men’s Division 2 South – Team Essex Estonians
Estonians have shown a dramatic improvement on last season as a great mixture of emerging talent and experienced leaders have pushed them to a strong four wins from their first five matches in D2S. They are very much in the promotion hunt with a key match on December 8th away against Richmond. Their final home match of 2018 will be at home against MK City on December 16th at St John Payne School in Chelmsford.
Ladies Super League – Tendring VC Ladies
Winning four of their first five games in the Super League, Tendring Ladies are well positioned heading in to the mid-season split. Their solitary loss came against unbeaten league leaders Durham and they have four very good wins to their name. With a huge double header coming up over the weekend of December 8th-9th at the University of Essex Sports Centre, any support you can provide will be very much appreciated.
Ladies Division 2 South – Team Essex Trinity
Trinity have had a tough start to the season, with results not quite matching the performances against some of the top teams in the division. The team has lots of talented players who will get positive results with continued good performances. Their final home match of 2018 will be at home against Dartford on December 16th at St John Payne School in Chelmsford.
