In the 2nd set Richmond College struggled to pass with aggressive serving from Tomas Stepien
and steady defensive play from Michael Ghelfi enabling Richmond to take another strong lead (19-5) and closed the set at 25-8.
In the 3rd Richmond College with their power hitter Samuel Phillips (u18 England South) were determined to push Richmond and managed to score into double figures 25-14.
