UWI Blackbirds regain lead

The battle for the Goddard Enterprises Limited women’s division one volleyball crown took another twist with UWI Blackbirds reclaiming the top perch when the league action continued at the Wildey Gymnasium.

The Blackbirds’ 20-25, 25-16, 25-13, 25-20 dismissal of Theta Math Academy Club United regained that lead for the defending champions. UWI welcomed back Shakera “Smiley” Hall from injury but with captain Dania Hamilton and Nikita Wickham missing, Club grabbed the first set and got no further.

Phoenix Services Carlton came from a set down to defeat Pan American Insurance Warrens 13-25, 25-15, 27-25, 25-6.

Clapham Toners maintain lead

Burger King Clapham Toners continued on a path of winning the Goddard Enterprises Limited division one volleyball titles when round two of the league continued at the Wildey Gymnasium.

Toners battled from a set down and set point in the second set to stop Development Volleyball in Motion 22-25, 26-24, 25-8, 25-13. After taking the early challenges DVM could not match the power of Ashley Jordan and Ashley Marshall along with the experience of Janelle Chase-Mayers.

Theta Math Club Academy stunned Pan American Insurance Warrens in straight sets 25-20, 25-14, 25-16. The performances of Kiana Alleyne and Sheriann Norris gave Club their first win.

Toners in title chase

Burger King Clapham Toners kept in the hunt by defeating Chargers 25-12, 25-11, 25-12 when the Goddard Enterprises Limited division one volleyball first continued at the Wildey Gymnasium. Chargers had no answer to the aggressive attack of Ashley Marshall and Ashley Jordan.

Pan American Insurance Warrens recalled veterans Sophia Walcott and Talya Layne to edge Theta Math Academy Club United 25-13, 23-25, 14-25, 26-24, 15-11.

UWI Blackbirds remain undefeated

UWI Blackbirds moved to a fifth successive victory by thumping Warrens 25-20, 25-21, 25-19 when the Goddard Enterprises Limited division one volleyball league continued at the Wildey Gymnasium.

UWI hardly missed a beat with replacement setter Signa President filling in for the injured Afyia Taylor to maintain their attacking strength through Shakera “Smiley” Hall, Dania Hamilton and young Aiyana Reid.

Former queens Deacons also won their game in straight sets giving a great birthday present to former Barbados libero Marissa Dowell by outplaying Theta Math Academy Club United 25-14, 25-20, 25-17.

Toners, DVM and Deacons victorious

Burger King Clapham Toners women finally turned up the heat on their grill to scorch Warrens 25-13, 25-12, 25-16 and moved into the second spot.

Development Volleyball in Motion Desanni Waithe and Kandia Shorey piloting the charge also exploited Club’s inconsistency to edge home 27-25, 22-25, 16-25, 25-20, 15-11.

Marissa Dowell made a mockery of her much taller opponents from Phoenix Security Services Carlton to defeat them 25-23, 25-21, 20-25, 25-18. Dowell received great support from south-paws Abeje Carrington and Taquilla Lawrence. Carlton’s setter Janelle Morris struggled to find a consistent attacker.

UWI pushed to the edge

UWI Blackbirds women were pushed to the edge before holding on to their unbeaten records when the Goddard Enterprises Limited division one volleyball league continued on Monday, September 5, 2022, at the Wildey Gymnasium.

UWI depended on Shakera “Smiley” Hall to survive as they battled from two sets down and with key setter Afiya Taylor fighting a leg injury to beat Deacons 25-23, 18-25, 16-25, 25-12, 15-9. Captain Dania Hamilton and Jayde Adams added to Hall’s attack and defence with Deacons’ left-hander Serena Edwards and former Barbados libero Marissa Dowell threatening the upset with smart attacks.

Former queens Burger King Clapham Toners were also taken to five sets in a substandard performance against Club United 23-25, 22-25, 25-8, 25-16, 16-14. With Ashley Marshall going off with an injury in the second set Toners’ Ashley Jordan’s and Janelle Chase-Mayers’ efforts were good enough to edge Club.
