Kolij and Foundation Share Honours

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 – Christ Church Foundation School and Harrison College shared the honours when the National Sports Council’s under-16 schools’ volleyball league was continued at Church Hill.

The Foundation boys defeated Harrison College 25-16, 25-18, led by the attack of Mikhail Gooding, who normally plays the role of libero in Division One volleyball. Earlier, the defending girls’ champion Harrison College surprisingly dropped the first set before winning 22-25, 25-14, 15-8 against Foundation.

The Lodge School claimed all honours in the home game up Massiah Street, St. John. The Lodge girls easily turned away the visiting Alleyne School 25-22, 25-11. The Lodge boys also won in straight sets, but it was a competitive win, 26-24, 27-25.

The Lester Vaughan School journeyed to Government Hill and defeated the Springer Memorial School 25-21, 25-19.

Kolij and Combermere Share Honours

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.
