End Of Season Tournament. Regent College Ball Hall. 12th May 2019. This year Athenas’ end of season tournament saw an array of new and old players from all three teams taking part. It was an opportunity for all of the members of the club to get together and have fun doing what we all enjoy – volleyball! (And eating, of course!) This year's tournament had a theme - Superheroes ... and we had a number of Bat-people and Captain Americas turned out to play. We had Evie, Maria, Nikki and Charlie from local league, with this being Evie’s first tournament under official match conditions. Eli, Ioana, Marta, Emma, Julia and Sam joined in from the regional league. And Sarah, Kristy, Alysia, Petra, Tereza, Paulina and Algi from the national league were there too. There were three teams in the tournament, and coach Gordon split us up trying to keep each team balanced in ability. Team 1 called themselves “Bat-don’t assume our gender!” and had Petra, Maria, Paulina, Eli, Tereza and Nikki. Team 2 decided on the name “Super Bunnies!” and had Kristy, Evie, Julia, Ioana, Emma (with a substitute player on court when they played their match). And the third team went with “MIB (Mission impossible Bunnies!!!)” and had Sarah, Alysia, Algi, Charlie and Marta and Sam. With music to get people moving, there was lots of fun, laughter and good volleyball throughout – but I have to give MVP for the day to Evie, who despite being with us for such a short time and also being one of the youngest players in the club, she showed good improvement and got stuck right in, playing alongside national players. The winners of the Tournament and taking home the gold were “Team Bat-don’t assume my gender!”, taking the silver was team “MI Bunnies” and the bronze medals went to “Super Bunnies”. After the matches we all enjoyed some food and drink brought in by the players and had a good natter. What a fantastic way to end the season, well played to all! Thank you to Charlie for the words and Sam and Kristy for the pictures
