Premier Eagles stop Classic Ball Blasters to lead standing

PREMIER Eagles Volleyball Club put in an apex performance to outclass Classic Ball Blasters when the two locked horns in the Demerara Volleyball Association Clubs League on Thursday evening at the National Gymnasium.

The contest didn’t live up to the hype until the third set when ball blasters brought out their ‘A’ game.

But even with their best on the night, they were not able to force a stay of execution into the fourth set.

The third set ended 25-20 in Premier Eagles favour.

From the first set, the league leaders Eagles showed their dominance taking the straight sets win thanks to Adriel Moore.

Moore was fabulous as he completed some awesome kill shots to record 11 points for the game as they took the first set 25-11.

He found solid support from the likes of teammates Trevon McRae, Quacy Mattheson and Keon Tanner who had 9, 9 and 6 points respectively in the victory.

They would combine to ease to a win in the second set 25-15.

Ball Blasters third set effort was largely thanks to the effort of Meshack Roberts who scored a team high 4 points in an overall underwhelming performance for his side.

The win puts Premier Eagles for now at the top of the standing after their third win in four (one loss).

Premier Eagles’ McRae also moved to 45 points in the League to hold the joint top spot with the Guyana Defence Force’s Omari Joseph.

Eagles’ Matheson also moved up the individual standing to third with 35 points in the league.

GDF got displaced to second place on the table with two wins with Alpha’s Volleyball Club third.
