Contrasting Fortunes for Wow Foundation and Club United

Sunday February 9, 2025 – Newly promoted Wow Foundation United women and Club United experienced opposite results when the Barbados Volleyball Association’s division one league was continued at the Wildey Gymnasium.

While Club was dismissed by men’s defending champions KFC Deacons 14-25, 15-25, 21-25, Foundation knocked down Hill Road 25-14, 25-16, 25-13. Hill Road could not contend with the fury and fire of CAZOVA all star Destiny Layne and her Harrison College teammate Talia Sandiford.

In the other women’s match, Chargers demonstrated their prowess by stopping Phoenix Security Services Carlton in straight sets, with scores of 25-18, 25-18, and 25-15.

Hill Road and Deacons in the top four

Wednesday, November 2 – Hill Road held on to the second spot and Deacons the fourth when the Goddard Enterprises Limited division one action continued at the Wildey Gymnasium.

Hill Road defeated the inconsistent Phoenix Security Services Carlton 19-25, 27-25, 25-18, 25-21.

Carlton was on the verge of going two sets up when they held set point 24-20 in the second set. However, a slew of successive service errors and mistakes by Carlton gifted Hill Road their fifth win.

Former queens Deacons displaced Chargers for the fourth position by handing them a straight sets defeat 25-16, 25-19, 25-17. Without an injured setter Dayna Babb Chargers could not match the all round team play of their opponents.

Straight sets wins

Monday, October 23 – It was straight sets wins when the four bottom-placed teams took to the court at Oldbury, St. Philip last night in the Goddard Enterprises Limited division one volleyball league.

Hill Road proved too steep for Development Volleyball in Motion stalling their challenging efforts 27-25, 25-19, 28-26. Then Phoenix Security Services Carlton toyed with and defeated Club United 25-22, 25-19, 25-23.

Three with easy victories

Sunday, October 22 – Warrens, Deacons, and Chargers also picked up relatively easy victories and points when the Goddard Enterprises Limited division one volleyball action continued at the Wildey Gymnasium.

Deacons beat Hill Road 25-14, 25-21, 20-25, 25-20. Warrens stopped Phoenix Security Services Carlton 25-21, 25-14, 12-25, 25-22. Chargers whipped Club United in straight sets 25-21, 25-20 25-12.

Carlton with a second win

Phoenix Security Services Carlton continued their winning streak when the senior knockout continued at the Wildey Gymnasium on Wednesday, August 23.

In the battle to go two games up Phoenix Security Services Carlton proved their come-from-behind five sets win over Chargers was no fluke as they stopped Hill Road 25-21, 25-15, 25-20. The play of Nerissa Dyer, Rhea Bryant, Tamika Husbands, Tiara Johnson, and setter Tiffany Webster proved a potent combination for Carlton.

Chargers rebounded from their first game loss stopping Warrens 25-21, 18-25, 25-15, 25-11. In the second set Chargers were up 21-18 before the officials spotted a positional fault by Chargers. With the scores being reverted to 18-18 Warrens seized that set but nothing more.

Senior KO serves off

Deacons suffered a weak start to the defence of their senior women’s knockout title when the preliminary rounds of that competition were served off on Monday, August 21 at the Wildey Gymnasium.

In a Zone C game Deacons took the first set from Hill Road before losing a five-setter 25-19, 20-25, 16-25, 26-24, 13-15.
