UWI Blackbirds defeat Clapham Toners

Sunday, October 22 – UWI Blackbirds accentuated their bid for double crown honours this season by scoring a five sets victory over defending league champions Burger King Clapham Toners when the Goddard Enterprises Limited division one volleyball action continued at the Wildey Gymnasium.

The knockout queens came from two sets down to hand Toners their second defeat of the first round 25-13, 17-25, 17-25, 25-20, 15-10. Ashley Jordan looked likely to keep Toners in the hunt with her all-round play. However, the counter punches from UWI’s Tenielle Chapman-Goodluck and Dessani Waithe proved too powerful for Toners.
