This weekend the spectators at Cottonera Sports Complex had a chance too see a high class Volleyball, a game for everyone to enjoy.
Sliema had Paul Vella and Ivan Genchev managing to attack through "holes" in Aloysians Defenders block. Aloysians missed one of their youngest and most talented players Alex Spiteri due to injury but Gordon Cachia set up a formation with a "never give up" spirit making a game very close encounter despite a 3-0 score.
Bernard Bartolo had a role of a setter this time and he surprised many with his good performance.
Sliema are playing better game after game and preparing to challenge their biggest rivals this season -Valletta Mapei

Birkirkara 3
Phoenix 0
(25-20, 25-11, 25-7)
Birkirkara had an easy task meeting newcomers Phoenix. Adriana Pace tried to offer some resistance to Birkirkara team but couldn't do it alone.To make things worse for Phoenix ,their setter got injured during warm up so B'Kara's job become easier.
Actually, many points Phoeinx got were through Birkirkara’s own mistakes .They had experience on their side and this team is definitely one of the favorites to win the 2nd division and possible promotion.
Phoenix on the other hand proved to be a team who is improving their game by time and we can expect better performances in the future.
Best player's :
Phoenix: Adriana Pace
Birkirkara: Nadine Gatt
