(The Valley, Anguilla) - As  the Anguilla development board business league
volleyball tournament nears the  playoffs, most teams are playing with renewed
intensity.  This was most evident  on Friday as team Construction the
unstoppable force encountered the enigma  known as the Sports Department. 
Everyone expected the triple towers of team  Construction to destroy the Sports
Department.
Intent on keeping their reputation as an undefeated, Construction started off 
sluggishly and were punished with some excellent blocking and hitting from 
Sports through Ian “Tucker Connor and Lorenzo’ Gadget” Harrigan.  However,
 Construction fought back but it was too little too late, as Sherwin”
Skywalker”  Richardson was repeatedly blocked, and Javelle “Special”
Brooks became a mere  spectator.
As  the second set rolled around the Marsha twins began the rally cry but it was
too  late.  Team Sports were honed in like sharks to an injured fish.  They
moved in  for the kill and secured the second set win, thus defeating the once
mighty  Construction with a score of 2: 0. In the second game, the ANGLEC
Shockers came  with the intentions of lighting up team Teachers.
ANGLEC  were off to the races but the experienced plays of Khalidah Banks and
Perry  Richardson thwarted any dreams of an easy victory.  Despite these efforts
 ANGLEC’s power surge caused Teachers to be burnt out in two sets with a score
 line of 2:0.  On Saturday there was a rematch of ANGLEC and Sports as their 
first match was rained out.
From  the inception it was obvious that Sports was the new Enigma that has the
answer  to all volleyball questions.  They answered ANGLEC’s challenge readily
and with  stern conviction.  Sports blocked Jeloni Lawrence’s hitting,
literally shutting  down their offense.  Though Justus “Bumsee Connor tried,
he saw the writing on  the wall, “it is finished”.  The game was ended with
a 2:0 score.
Play off games for  the up coming weekend;
