With the Ashleys, Jordan and Marshall mixing crunching spikes with off-speed controlled hits supported by great passing and defence by libero Jhada Goddard to wrap up the championship.
Captain Marshall pointed to the hard work and the successful blending of experienced players with the younger crop which earned them the crown. “We put in a lot of hard work and as the season progressed everyone began to play their respective roles.
“The mixture of the young players with the older helped us to identify what Clapham Toners stood for and the older players mentored us and kept us focused on the club’s objectives. That played a big role in the early part of the season as we were trying to get our stuff together.
“We are sorry that Janelle (Chase-Mayers) and Shennel (Pooler) will be moving on but they helped us tremendously as players and mentors. Toners always provide opportunities for young players and they moving on will make space for younger players. Of course, before they officially retire Toners will be aiming to win the knockout cup as well,” said Marshall.
