Stay in 1st
SLW was a top of the table clash between Cats and ECU. It was a rollercoaster of a game, with both teams getting on top and winning sets convincingly until the inevitable 5th set. The Cat's ladies went down in the 5th and called timeout at 3-9 down, but managed an amazing comeback to win 15-13 in the third. Sitting three games clear on the top of the ladder, the SL women's team have a chance to clinch top spot heading into finals in their Away double header vs Reds next weekend.

State League Reserves Men lost to Busselton 0-3
The SLR team travelled down to Busselton and were beaten 3:0. We were outplayed by a team that was better and more hungry for the win. There is still positives to take from the game, such as our strong defence and the development of our young players . We will regroup and hopefully finish the season strong with a few home round wins.

Division One Women defeated Red Junior 3-0 25-23, 25-16, 25-13
Still working on our first set. Always starting with big mistakes but getting it back as we warm up. Thanks for Hana and her service we could win the first set. Second and third set we just did our job, nothing too much fancy, less mistakes and couple good hits. POTW goes to Hana for serving really well all the game.

Points where back and forth, and the lads got on another run of points, the lads took the set with decent buffer of points. Set 3 - The lads had the same momentum as the previous set, and the lads sided out straight away. Quickly getting to a 3 point lead, from then on it was an exchange of points back and forth, although the lads never lost their lead. Busso showed fight and determination towards the end of the set getting within a point of the lads, a tactical time out by the cats, and the momentum swung back favor of the lads and they took the set 25-21 and the game.

These girls are so resilient. Fantastic win on our run to finals.
