Uni Blues Men's team flew to Sydney for the weekend, taking on UTSSU and NSW. The first three out of four games went to five sets. The guys played throughout with a never-say-die attitude, but unlike last weekend in Canberra, their numbers were limited. Despite having a team of eight for the weekend (7 players & a libero), they were taxed to the max with the number of matches that were played in the scheduled time.

Div 2 women lost 3-0 to LaTrobe University last Saturday. The ladies did their best to put up a good fight, displaying good team work and having good rallies. There were several pretty serves and spikes that targeted hard angle, hard line and cuts. Each set ended with a small marginal difference in scores, 19-25, 16-25 and 20-25.

Round 8 was a replay of round 1, where our Premier teams played the Eastside Hawks. Back then our Premier Men lost against the Hawks in 4 sets, but today we left the Hawks with no chance and beat them in 3 sets! Erich and the rest of the backcourt made a big step up and passed pretty well. Michael played a pretty nice game, as did Ben, our second setter. Of course, I wish I had gotten more balls through the middle, but Dean and I did our best to block the other team and to draw their blocks.

In a thrilling day of finals volleyball one team went in as favourites and ended up doing it the hard way (Junior Boys, 26-24 in the 5th set), and one team went in as the underdogs and showed the opposition how a grand final's played in 4 sets (Honours Women).
