Sokolowski solo star in 2008 Summer League
6th August 2008
Last Tuesday the 2008 Richmond Summer Volleyball League Season can to a close after 9 weeks of strong volleyball competition with more than 70 people coming from all over South West London competing, and with the overall winner being announced.
All the matches were played at the vast green fields of the Old Deer Park, supported by good quality equipment, good organisation and a fantastic golden sunset creating the perfect setting for the people who seriously enjoy playing volleyball - that's what made this competition a success for the 3rd year running.
The Richmond Volleyball Summer League was aimed at being open, flexible and friendly providing a fantastic opportunity for people of different ages, gender and sporting ability to participate in volleyball and play lots of matches.
In the final week there were only five players in competition for honours – Ammon Bregger, Marek Sokolowski, Andreas Koelblin, Henry Szyszko, and Dan Cleather and for top female prize it was Jelena Leskovica and Barbara Marikova. A total of 25 people turned out to challenge the contenders hopefully create an upset; but in the end, it was Marek Sololowski who took home the bottle of champagne finishing with 48 points as 2008 Richmond Summer League Volleyball Champion. Andreas Koelblin finished 2nd, and Henry Szusko 3rd. The top female player was Jelena Leskovica (39 points).
Richmond’s Events Coordinator commented that the feedback from the 70 players was very positive and would like to see the event to be even bigger for next year. Richmond’s Volleyball Summer League has established itself as an important development link for the local community and has potential to be a major sporting feature in the Richmond summer sports calendar.
If you want to get involved in volleyball we are hosting five weeks of FREE volleyball on Thursdays from 7-9pm at Kingston Arena as part of ‘Summer of Sport’ programme.
