Time
waits for no man- or WEW3
Technical problems such as the hall being locked
and a part missing from the volleyball posts created
havoc in the beginning as it seemed as if the match
would not go ahead. However, after a lot of panicking
and rushing around it all got sorted and we got off
to a late start.
The first set was began very close with Oliva ARCHIBALD
getting in with some strong hits and Marie HENAULT
providing great defence and setting. However, the pre-match
stress had caused some distress and Dynamo Dykes Free
took full advantage of this and went on to win the set
25-13 but not without a fight from WEW3.
By the second set the team had settled down and Emma
GITTUS was on a roll with some great tipping
at the net that foxed the super-tall ladies of the opposition.
Then, tragedy struck and she twisted her ankle and had
to be helped off court. A quick substitution by coach
Julie KOUAMO and Anna WALLACE came in
showing Dynamo Dykes that she meant business with some
super strong serves. It was a close call, but Eagles
pulled through to win the set 26-24.
With time running short due to the late start, the
third set was to be the deciding set with 1 each to
DD3 and WEW3. It was a close game throughout with DD3
and WEW3 neck and neck. Zainab HAQ and Kristina
PODHOLICKA were hitting hard over the net with
service kept solid by Willemjn ZANDT and Lieve
DEBEERST. However, the match was not to be for
WEW3 and DD3 won by a close 25-23.
Despite the defeat the team played a superb game with
it being the debut game with the club and team for a
number of players. Hats off to everyone for not getting
confused on court, as despite our new rotation system
we only had to stop once to check on where we should
have been; the coaches have taught us well. So big congrats
to the team and lets win the next game! Finally, last
but not least, thanks to Vicky for scoring and her continued
support to the team despite her long term injury.
WEW3 lost to Dynamo Dykes Free 1-2 (13-25, 26-24,
23-25)
