Champs Deacons cool Blazers

Thursday, June 5, 2025 – Defending division two men’s champions KFC Deacons maintained their bid to retain their title when they held off a spirited challenge from Blazers on their home court.

It took a special attacking game from Korey Webster for Deacons to take the battle, which lasted over two hours, 25-11, 24-26, 25-21, 23-25, 15-11. Remarkably, Blazers averted game and match point from 4-14 to reach 11 before losing the decider.

Seth Jervier held his serve as Blazers defended stoutly and counter-attacked to press Deacons when the game seemed to be over. The fire from Webster and the inconsistency from Blazers denied them that possible upset.

Earlier, Blazers edged Deacons in a Division Three men’s game 23-25, 25-18, 15-13.

Mixed fortunes for Barbados

Barbados experienced mixed fortunes when the 18th CAZOVA volleyball championship was served off at the Anthony Nesty Sports Hall in Paramaribo, Suriname on Sunday, July 23.

In the first game, Barbados girls were defeated by defending champions Trinidad and Tobago 23-25, 23-25, 25-20, 19-25. However, in the night cap game Barbados men crushed the hosts and defending champions Suriname in straight sets 25-18, 25-18, 25-19.

Shonte Seale was the consistent player for the Bajan girls while for the men Ahkeem Mayers led the assault supported by captain Akeel Oxley and US-based Ammuniki Wood to defeat Suriname in a match that finished 15 minutes after midnight.

It was not a good opening day for Suriname as their girls went down in five sets to former queens Bahamas. T&T men matched their girls in defeating Jamaica in four sets.
