THE five-team Demerara Volleyball Association (DVA) Volleyball League, set to commence today at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall, has been postponed to a later date due to the spike in COVID-19 cases.

The three-month event was expected to run from January 18 to April 1 with runners-up of the 2021 Powerzone Championship, the Eagles Volleyball Club, rivals Castrol Strikers Volleyball Club, the Young Achievers Volleyball Club, the Guyana Defence Force Volleyball Club and the VenGuy Volleyball Club battling it out.

A new starting date has been announced.
