UWI Strike Twice at Bay Street

Sunday, April 26, 2026 – UWI made a successful double strike when a lower division volleyball triple header was staged at Bay Street on Sunday night.

With Barbados women’s setter Carah Watson piloting the way, UWI flew past Spikenards 25-21, 25-17 in the men’s division three action. Watson’s setting and her serving destroyed the inconsistent Spikenards.

UWI then overpowered the Police division two women 21-11, 21-19. Earlier, Hill Road proved too steep for Foundation Legacy, dismissing the inexperienced players 21-8, 21-17.

The home teams at Free Hill won one of the three fixtures at their court. Club United division three women out-fought the Gladiators 25-13, 18-25, 15-9. However, Free Hill toppled to Apex division three women 22-25, 21-25 and Deacons division three men blocked Free Hill 25-20, 25-22.

Carlton Down Police

Sunday, April 19, 2026 – Police lost both of the games played on their court at the Police Boys’ and Girls’ Club, Bay Street, on Sunday night. But they certainly provided lots of entertainment for the large number of volleyball fans and supporters watching the games.

The Police division three men went down to Phoenix Security Service Carlton 20-25, 26-24, 15-10 in spite of a gutsy performance from former Barbados player Romel Agard and Andrew Arindell. The earlier setting from veteran Kevin Bynoe kept the officers in the hunt.

However, the consistency of Carlton proved the winning formula as the Police surprisingly kept Agard out of the game in the decisive third set. Earlier the Police girls lost their division three game to Chargers in straight sets 20-25, 15-25.

During the opening game a shower of rain interrupted the excitement between Spikenards and Apex but did not stop Spikenards from taking the division three contest 25-17, 25-19.

Over at Hill Road the home team handed two losses to the visiting UWI in division two action. Hill Road women dismissed UWI at 25-18, 25-14 while Hill Road men also shared out a straight sets whipping to UWI 25-18, 25-21, 25-18.

Playing at home did not benefit Free Hill as they toppled to division three Spikenards women 21-25, 9-25. Spikenards division three men failed to make it a double success as they were stopped by KFC Deacons 20-25, 25-9, 7-15.

Up Parish Land, Christ Church Foundation United showed how to exploit playing at home in their division two clashes. National invitee Talia Sandiford led Foundation women to a 19-25, 25-21, 15-6 victory over UWI. Foundation then defeated UWI’s men 25-15, 25-22, 31-29.

Playing at their home court at Parish Land, Foundation United romped to their fourth successive victory overcoming the Barbados Defence Force 25-16, 22-25, 15-8. Foundation maintained a strategy of playing their reserves for the entire match even when the winless BDF snatched the second set to force the decider.
