Mid-Season Break
We’ve now reached the mid-season break and i think everyone has deserved 2 weeks off, with both our Honours teams sitting well, in 2nd place. Our Div 1 and Div 2 teams have got some work to do in the second half of the season, to push back up the ladder. Games start again on the 18th of July.
Although it’s not rest for everyone, next week sees the Victorian representatives heading up to Brisbane for the Annual Australian Junior Volleyball Championships. They will take on teams from NSW, QLD, WA, SA, ACT, TAS and a couple of teams from our neighbours across the Tasman, New Zealand. Good luck to all those athletes heading over, and we hope you can bring home the cup for the Vics.
For everyone else, enjoy your rest time, and we’ll see you back for Round 10!

Results from Victorian State League Round 6
Round 6 saw only the Mens Honours team and the Womens Div 2 Navy team post wins on the board. The Honours boys made a fair bit of noise after beating the top of table Heidelberg, which draws them level with 5 wins and 1 loss for the season. The Womens Honours team have dropped down the ladder after consecutive losses and are sitting level with 3 other teams on 3 wins and 2 losses behind Yarra who have a game in hand. The Mens Div 1 team are still struggling with players not being available and others having to play out of position, while the Womens Div 1 team is sitting in 2nd place. The 2 Div 2 Womens teams sit next to each other in the lower half of the ladder.
