The Anguilla Development Board Volleyball Business League continued with some
mesmerizing games on the 2nd and 3rd October. Friday’s entrée was a warm dish
of Sports department entertaining team Statistics. Captain Ian Connor and team
Sports played the role of gracious hosts as they served heaping dishes of
peppery serves and hot spikes.
At the initial stages of the game Janai Gumbs and team Statistics tried
feverishly to consume anything that came their way, unfortunately it was too
much too soon. With every fleeting point, Statistics dropped further and further
behind. As pressure mounted on the young Statistics team their errors and
discontent skyrocketed. Team Sports was able to win the game two sets to love.
The main course of the evening featured two unbeatens, as the unstoppable force
known as MICUH collided with the immovable object known as Construction. This
collision produced massive sound waves that rocked the Volleyball court. In the
first set, both teams stood toe to toe as they traded points, none giving an
inch to the other. Team Construction tried battering MICUH into submission
through the efforts of Sherwin “Skywalker” Richardson and Javelle
‘Special” Brooks, however MICUH rose to the challenge on each occasion.
Andre “half man, half amazing” Samuel, was a one man blocking machine as he
blocked Sherwin “Skywalker” Richardson and Javelle ‘Special” Brooks at
will and with utter disdain. Unfortunately MICUH’s plan of winning the first
set vanished as the experienced Sherwin “Skywalker” Richardson, Randy
‘Swaggart” Thompson, and the Marsha twins, made pivotal points to clinch the
set.
Realizing this, Rawle Hazell and his band of engineers devised a new scheme. In
this new plot, Eldon “Nodel” Webster and Andre “half man, half amazing”
Samuel were made the main points of attack. The new plan worked to perfection as
both Spikers pillaged the porous blocking of Construction. Ludiann “Ludi”
Richardson bolstered her MICUH team mates with some aggressive hitting and good
bumping. The extra effort resulted in a much deserved win. With both teams
having secured one set, an all out war erupted. As the third set started the
slamming was merciless, the bumping was precise, and the blocking was excellent.
Both teams pounded each other like there was no tomorrow, but the more
experienced Construction prevailed as winners with a score of 2 sets to one.
On Saturday, the teachers played Police in an interesting match. The lawmen
tried apprehending the teachers to put them away in the volleyball jail.
Fortunately for teachers, they came with a good defensive game to counter the
many attackers by the lawmen. Through consistent serving and good team work the
teachers were able to snuff out any attacks from the police and win the game by
winning the first two sets.
The ANGLEC Shockers created sparks as they tried cutting the power supply to
Sunset Homes. ANGLEC displayed its power with excellent defensive work, and good
hitting. However, Lester “Fishy” Connor, and his team mates were not
intimidated as they played with unheralded enthusiasm. His players blocked and
slammed anything in their path. Despite their hard work the ANGLEC Shockers took
the first set through the hard hitting of Jelanoi Lawrence.
Sunset homes with national players Merrick “The crowned prince of
Volleyball” Richardson and Lester ‘Fishy Connor rallied the team and they
provided stout resistance to ANGLEC, in fact they defeated them soundly in the
second set. Just like the previous day both teams fought to the death, however
the depth and experience of ANGLEC prevailed as they won the third set by two
points. As a result ANGLEC won the game 2:1.
