NOBTS and Poachers draw
A 2-2 draw between NOBTS and Poachers last week highlighted the evenness of the Corangamite Volleyball competition.
The two teams played out a draw in round seven.
Momentum swung wildly during the match, with Poachers flying off to a 2-0 start before NOBTS gathered themselves to win the net two games and save the result.
Top team Bulls again emphasised their class by easily defeating Stallions 4-0; they know there are some tough games ahead if they are to win the autumn pennant.
The Stallions may have been slyly foxing their opponents, defeating Slugs 4-0.
At the other end of the ladder, Ballbusters indicated they mean business by beating Pirates, who have stagnated after a promising start.
Slugs had a disappointing night. They couldn’t afford to be undermanned when they took on NOBTS and Poachers.
With two rounds to go before finals, the seven teams have now settled into two even groups.
Only the finishing ladder positions are unknown.
Round seven results:
NOBTS defeated Ballbusters 4-0, Bulls def Pirates 5-0, Poachers def Slugs 4-0, Poachers drew with NOBTS 2-2, Bulls def Stallions 4-0, Stallions def Slugs 4-0 and Ballbusters def Pirates 3-0.
Ladder: Bulls 48, Poachers 42, NOBTS 40, Stallions 28, Pirates 14, Slugs 14, Ballbusters 10.
