WOW Foundation United unbeaten

Thursday, May 15, 2025 – WOW Foundation United continued their unbeaten run in the Barbados Volleyball Association’s Division Two league after being given a scare by newly promoted Apex on Thursday night at Oldbury, St. Philip.

FU had to battle from a set down to take the match 19-25, 25-19, 25-21, 25-17, with former standout NCAA player Jabarry Goodridge dominating Apex’s defence. The newcomers looked impressive in the indoor facility, with Guyanese duo Davindra Latchman and Shemroy Ross, along with attorney Martie Garnes, providing great fight for Apex.

Ironically, while the pouring rain impacted the other outdoor fixtures, the large crowd at Olbury enjoyed entertaining attacks and counterattacks from both teams. Six foot four Rashawn Alleyne proved vital in executing demoralising one on one blocks on Apex.

Unfortunately, the second game involving the home team, Advent, was not as exciting. Hill Road rolled over Advent 25-21, 25-20, 25-17.

Before the rains, Cave Hill KFC Deacons outclassed UWI 25-21, 25-17. No other matches were completed on the night.
