Wednesday, May 23, 2025 – Combermere School experienced mixed fortunes when they hosted Harrison College in the National Sports Council’s schools’ junior league tournament at Waterford.

Combermere’s boys rebounded to defeat Harrison College 25-9, 25-9 after the Waterford lasses were defeated by the Kolij Lionesses 25-14, 25-19. The Kolij girls, boasting division one players Talia Sandiford and Cuzarah Batson along with Naima Cabey, were obviously the superior team.

However, pint-sized Danielle Forde played an outstanding game for Combermere after her team lost the first set. Down 13-7 in the second, Forde executed some impressive spiked serves to pull Combermere around to 14-13 before HC then recovered momentum to take the set and game.

Just like HC’s girls, Combermere’s boys possess a superior force, and they unleashed it to trample their opponents to ensure shared glory on the evening. Joshua Ashby, T’Jay Sobers and talented player Kymani Sandiford quickly established and maintained dominance in both sets.

Daniel Reece was impressive from the service area with a curling spiked serve, which racked up numerous aces in both sets for the Waterford lads.
