Match results 14th of April

❤️ NVL Ladies

There’s no doubt our squad enjoys keeping us at the edge of our seats! 😁

The first match on Sunday saw our NVL team playing the hosts, Dartford Volleyball Club Warriors, in a nail biting three setter.

1⃣ 26:24 2️⃣ 25:20 3️⃣ 27:25

There were some very good actions, but, once again, there was also the unnecessary stress of getting back on the lead after some struggle and closing the sets in our favour.

All in all, we ended up winning 0-3🔥 and everyone had some court time!

Congratulations to Meg for another MVP nomination!🏅

Here we come with the last match report of the season…🥺 How has it come around so quickly?!

Our NVL ladies closed the season with a long game against Spelthorne Volleyball Club Sharks.

1⃣ 22:25 2️⃣ 25:8 3️⃣ 25:16 4️⃣ 26:24

Despite Sharks doing a good job and taking a set from us, Aces went all in for the second win of the day and didn’t give them a big chance.

Our serves were key for this success, but it’s also worth highlighting our squad’s work in attack thanks to brilliant sets.

Thus… Congratulations to Dragana for the MVP nomination!🏅

Go Aces! ❤️🖤

Results weekend of the 24th of March

❤️ Juniors A

Reading Juniors Team A won both of their games this weekend to finish the league unbeaten with a 12 winning games out of 12 💪👏💪!

Reading Aces v Basingstoke ➡️ 2-1

1️⃣ 25-19 2️⃣ 21-25 3️⃣ 15-11

It was a tightly fought match where Juniors A won the first set behind consistent receives and hitting. They won the set easily even with the absence of Andrei as Erin took over setting duties.
2nd set was a different story as Basingstoke fought back and with good hits and more consistent receives. 3rd set was a tight contest where Basingstoke were leading 5-1 before Matt served to tie the game and lead all the way.

Congratulations to Marcus for his MVP nomination 🏅👏 💪!

Second game Reading Aces Juniors A played against Mavericks.

More of a straight forward win for Team A as they continued with consistent receives, hits and serves. ➡️ 2-0

1️⃣ 25-18 2️⃣ 25-12

Congratulations to Andrei for his MVP nomination🏅👏 💪

Hooray! We’ve got THE CHAMPIONS 🥇🏆🥇! This is their 3rd title in a row in BVA Juniors league. A special mention to everyone who has been a part of the team for going unbeaten this season and to Coach Eden for taking the coaching cudgels!

Thank you and HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!!

🖤 NVL Ladies

These ladies are on fire!🔥 Sunday saw our squad wining both games 3-0! 👏🏻

Starting off with the match against Sussex Dolphins, our NVL team played all their cards to make sure it was a quick and firm victory.

1⃣ 25:8 2️⃣ 25:18 3️⃣ 25:10

The service was key for this win, but also the strong attack from all hitters and the sharp defence. Those focused training sessions have paid off! 💪🏻

Congratulations to Meg for the MVP nomination!🏅👏 💪

NVL Ladies after winning against Sussex Dolphins

In a contested match, our team emerged victorious with a gritty 3:0 win! 💪 Despite facing fierce opposition Spelthorne Volleyball Club, our squad showcased resilience, skill, and sheer determination throughout the game.

1⃣ 25:22 2️⃣ 25:11 3️⃣ 25:20

Every point was earned through relentless effort and unwavering teamwork. From precise serves to strategic blocks, our players left everything on the court. 🙌🔥

Now, let’s channel this energy and momentum into the last two games of the season, coming up next Sunday. With our eyes set on perfection, let’s continue to push ourselves and strive for greatness!

Big congratulations to Meg for her MVP nomination!🏅Again 😂!

🖤 BVA Men 1

Men 1 played away against Basingstoke Lions and Oxford Vollox last Sunday.

Despite the shortage of players, they still put up an intense match against the experienced Basingstoke team. The receives and serves have improved greatly compared to the past matches, which held the scores tight throughout the sets. They were also able to run different plays that were out of the opponent’s expectations. However, the lack of cover and consistency of blocks cost them a bunch of points and they sadly lost by two sets eventually.

1️⃣ 19-25 2️⃣ 20-25

Second match was against strong Oxford Vollox.

Men 1 played their best game of the year against the top team in the league. Everyone on the team was on fire and played relentlessly. Great receives, stable serves, and powerful attacking plays have us leading the second set all the way to the last few points. Unfortunately, they could not manage to take advantage of the lead and failed to close out the set at the end.

1️⃣ 16-25 2️⃣ 22-25

However they strongly believe that they could win the upcoming matches if they continue to maintain the team chemistry and improve the game.

Credit to Nikko’s friends Makky and Kelvin for coming to play for us today. They had performed really well in both matches.

The MVP for both matches is Makky 🏅👏 💪
