South Adelaide Volleyball Club
Warnambool 2020
This year South Adelaide entered three teams in the Warrnambool Annual Seaside Volleyball Tournament, held on the March long weekend. This is an enjoyable, affordable tournament that offers a great opportunity for SAVC senior teams to have a fun but competitive hit out before the season begins.
Div 2 Men
Always a strong representation for SAVC, the Men’s Division 2 team affectionately known as the Old Boys came into the tournament looking to back up their tournament win from the previous year. They played with fine form and finished pool play without dropping a single set, however they weren’t able to take this winning streak through to the finals, losing 2 sets to 1 in the cross overs.
We thank all who were involved in the tournament and we are looking forward to another successful trip to Warrnambool in 2021.
Honours Women
Starting the week with only six players, the SAVC Women’s Honours team had a hard task ahead of them but miraculously finished top of their pool, defeating SA rivals Austral Phoenix. Even with one loss in the cross over matches they were still on track to make the final, when injury struck passer-hitter Torz Mensforth rendering her unable to participate in the remainder of the tournament. Amazingly, the remaining five players were able to pull off a win during that match, but were forced to forfeit their remaining games.
Honours Men
With the delayed arrival of two key players on the first day of competition, the SAVC Men’s Honours team lost their first few games of the tournament. With a full strength side they defeated Victorian team Yarra, however lost their remaining games to finish 7th overall.
