We are so proud of our amazing success at this year’s UKBT Club Championships that was held at Sandbanks beach on the weekend of 7th/8th June. We’ve only gone and won it!
Well done to all the players, coaches and volunteers involved – everyone contributed to this fantastic success.
Particular highlights were the dominant performances in the U18 women’s division, with the final being played between two Richmond teams, and Richmond’s Championship team performances, especially with the women winning the Championship Division.
The Richmond Women’s Championship division Team of Katie Keefe / Martha Bullen and Patrīcija Fiļa / Anna Kurek showed a dominant performance throughout the tournament, but faced tough opposition in the final against Fireball South West. The final was decided by a golden set where Keefe/Bullen came out on top over Fireball’s Tussis/Berstautaite to win 15-13 and take the gold medals for Richmond.
Another big contribution to the overall victory was the U18’s women’s division which was dominated by Richmond teams. The final was between the Richmond squads Charlotte Anderton & Jennifer Rates / Sno Dixon & Fien Verheyden versus Olivia Cross & Robyn Clifford / Reika Hashimoto & Lili Coen, with Anderton/Rates/Dixon/Verheyden just coming out on top to win the gold medals.
The Men’s Championship division Team of Lewis Bunton / Stuart Perry and George Ruddick / Tom Lycett also showed a great performance by winning all their matches in the pool stage, but faced a tough Quarterfinal against St Andrews Beach Volleyball Club and lost against them in the golden set. However Richmond Men’s matched last years result and finished a very respectable 7th.
Another notable contribution was made by the pair of Sami Moodie / Maksim Stepanov who just missed out on winning the gold in the Mixed Trophy Division against Carreos / Hargrave from Deep Dish Bournemouth, but won another amazing silver medal for Richmond.
Richmond won another medal and more points in the Men’s Trophy Division with a brilliant performance by Tom Taschowsky / Roman Girkiy who finished third.
There were no medals for Richmond in the Women’s Trophy Division, but in a strong field of teams we had very good performances and points contributions from Sami Moodie / Sabina Marvulli finishing 5th and Cleo Jongedijk / Elisa Jarmon finishing 9th.
In the U18 Boys divisions the Richmond squad of Lucas Voss & Leo Alcoe / Alex Cox & Monty Easton struggled with injuries but still contributed very valuable points by coming 4th.
Well done to all our junior teams who represented the club so proudly last weekend at the National Volleyball Centre in Kettering.
It was another successful season with a further three medals secured by our young athletes. The highlight was Francesca Secchi’s under 15 girls taking the gold medal against Wapping Wildcats in convincing fashion.
And the boys took home two silver medals from the under 15 and under 16 finals. It put us third in the medal table behind Leeds Gorse and Urmston.
These amazing results mean that Richmond have won at least one national championship for the last 11 seasons. We’ve won a fantastic 21 titles in that time, way more than any other club.
Thanks to all the players, coaches, parents and volunteers that have made this possible.

We’re very proud of all Richmond teams that took part in the UK Beach Tour Club Championships this weekend!
In the Championship Division our women’s team consisting of Katie Keefe & Martha Bullen, Cleo Jongedijk & Elisa Jarmon came within 2 points of the final, in the golden set of the semifinal against the eventual winners Deep Dish Bournemouth. After 2 days of tough competition the girls came 4th (out of 13).
The in the Men’s Championship Division, our team of consisting of Zak Maghur & Bailey Harsum, Ben Sanders & Romario Stambullio came a very respectable 7th (out of 13), being the only team in the competition with all players under 18. They came within a golden set of making it to the semifinal in a tough quarterfinal against eventual winners Fireball North Devon.
In the Men’s Trophy competition our young team of Rease Jarmon & Ben Sizoo came 17th (out of 20) and gained a lot of experience against strong adult competition.
In a strong Mixed Trophy competition we entered three teams at both ends of the spectrum with the junior team of Tyler Sourmarie & Tilly Hutton, and the senior teams Martin Rees & Arzu Davis and Mike Keefe & Sarah Keefe putting in a great effort to finish 19th, 18th and 23rd (out of 28) respectively.
Overall, taking into account all the competitions, the club made a great improvement over last years result coming a respectable 8th out of 15 clubs. Especially with the number of young players that took part, this bodes very well for next year!
Well done and thank you to all the teams that took part!
