UWI Blackbirds flying on

Knockout queens UWI Blackbirds continued their flight towards double crowns when the Goddard Enterprises Limited division one volleyball league action continued on Monday, October 16 at Oldbury, St. Philip.

The Blackbirds dismissed former champions Deacons in straight sets 25-22, 25-21, 25-23. Barbados player Desanni Waithe maintained her top form with six-footer Tenielle Chapman-Goodluck adding to the superiority of UWI.

Chargers who failed to win a set when they met UWI in the knockout finals were shockingly carried to five sets before edging Warrens 25-22, 22-25, 25-21, 19-25, 16-14. Warrens’ inconsistency cast them into defeat as they led 14-3 in the opening set and 8-5 in the decisive fifth set.

Rhe-Ann Niles-Mapp excelled for Warrens with Thonya Joseph, Andrea Oughterson, and Latifah Wood giving Chargers the winning edge.
