UWI Blackbirds remain undefeated

DVM and Carlton victorious

DVM defeated Burger King Clapham Toners 25-21, 15-25, 25-17, 25-23 while Carlton edged Chargers 25-17, 18-25, 19-25, 25-18, 15-12.

Carlton’s attacking plays from six footer Rhea Bryant and Tiara Johnson nullified Chargers’ Dei Padmore, Thonya Joseph, Samya Jones and Shaina Bradshaw.

Cawmere edges Progressive

Cawmere men edged Progressive in five bruising sets when the Goddard Enterprises Limited volleyball league continued at the Wildey Gymnasium.

With southpaw Shawn Simpson and former Jamaican player Mark Lewis blasting for Cawmere while libero Akeem Payne matched tremendous passing and defence with his customary trash talking, Cawmere took the game 25-19, 19-25, 24-26, 27-25, 15-13.

Progressive’s veteran Fabian Cox was in ripping spiking form and he also executed demoralizing blocks on Lewis and Simpson.

However, the relentless and bold attacks from Simpson justified Ramon Blade’s choice to set him even in the backcourt which denied Progressive their first win.
