17th Dec 2010
Last Wednesday was the first ever u15 Hounslow Secondary Schools Boys 4v4 Volleyball Finals hosted at West Thames College
with Chiswick Community School taking the gold medal and Longford Community School securing silver.
To qualify for the finals eleven secondary schools competed in two earlier cluster tournaments with the top four boys’ teams from each cluster progressing to the ultimate showdown. In total 142 boys were coached by Richmond Volleyball Club in the 12 weeks winter volleyball programme.
The borough winners was decided by a round-robin tournament playing each other once. Chiswick A (won 4 matches), Longford (won 3), Gunnersbury A (won 2), Gunnersbury B (won 1) and Chiswick B (won 0). Chiswick and Longford will now progress to u15 West London Volleyball Finals to be held on Wed 19th January 2011 were they will meet the top borough teams from Hillingdon, Hammersmith & Fulham, Brent, Ealing, Harrow and test their skills again.
Commenting on the success of the competition, Colin Smith (Hounslow Competitions Manager) said, ‘We are very pleased with Richmond Volleyball and their commitment and enthusiasm delivering a fun competitive programme. Most of the these young people have only been learning the game for one term and they demonstrated how quickly they learned the game consistently and how much fun they had. David Rijvers (Richmond Volleyball Schools Coordinator) commented; I was delighted with the high standard of play. All the teams played consistently 3 touch volleyball (dig, set, spike) with some great rallies. Thank you to the venue host and schools teachers who helped make the event a great success.
