VOLLEY BALL INAUGURAL MATCH

On Wednesday, 23rd July the newly founded Tiffin Volleyball team faced off against the Royal Alexandra and Albert school. In the build up to the fixture the excitement from the students on both sides of the net could be felt, as for many this would be the first chance to put their hard-earned skills to the test in a game situation. The starting team quickly showed their dominance in the first game, but some creative shots from the opposition had them trailing closely behind the whole way. The level-headed thinking and teamwork from our players allowed us to clutch the game in the final moments and build a more comfortable lead, successfully taking the win. Outside on the grass courts, the second team faced a tough opposition, leading to a much more even game with both teams playing some strong volleyball. In the end, with just a few points in it and despite a great effort from our team, the Royal Alexandra and Albert school managed to secure the victory. Overall, the enthusiasm from the players led to a fun and exciting afternoon, where everyone was able to play in multiple games and have a great time exploring the game of volleyball. Hopefully this success will lead to more fixtures in the future, and a chance to get even more people playing the sport. Well done to everyone from both schools!
