What a thriller of a game our supporters witnessed last Sunday when Richmond NVL 2 Women traveled to Aschombe to face the contender for the playoff position!
Richmond team trained well during the week and worked diligently on a game plan so finding themselves 7-1 down was not quite expected.
Leaving behind two consecutive defeats against leaders Oxford, Richmond team re-grouped and trained hard to be ready to face Reading Aces. Reading was one of the teams fighting for a promotion at the start of the season and although they noticeably slowed down after Christmas , that team still represented a danger for Richmond.
Richmond finally met the leader of Division 2 Oxford last Sunday. Oxford played one game more and was one point ahead of RVB. This fixture represented a great opportunity for RVB to state their credentials for a promotion. But it was Oxford that added valuable league points to their tally (3:0)
After a busy Saturday afternoon for a majority of the team playing at the U18 National Cup qualification round, RVB arrived at Aschombe sport centre ready to take home 3 points from Sussex Dolphins to keep pressure on Oxford and Reading.
With 8 games left in the season Richmond Volleyball Club Women Div 2 team carries on with their quest for a play off position as a minimum.
