Well an exciting Finals round for the Women’s C grade displayed the enthusiasm and team spirit typical of players that are absolutely revelling in their sport of volleyball. In the semi’s St Saviours 3 got past St Saviours 4 in the 2-3 playoff (3-0), whilst Glennie 4 upset Fairholme 2 in the 4-1 match in a tight affair (2-1, 27-25, 26-24, 25-17) to get the Gold finals berth. In the Gold Medal match Glennie took the early lead with the first set (25-20) which then sparked a St Saviours response in the second (25-18). Locked at a set each the third set was a close one going 25-22 in Glennie’s favour. St Saviours tried to hold on in the 4th but could not deny a bouyant Glennie 4 team who ran out (25-13) to take the 3-1 victory and Gold. Congratulations to the girls !
This result (and others pending in other grades) is testament to the extra training and effort made at both Glennie and St Saviours this year which includes a training alliance between the schools set up by their teachers (/coaches) Crystal Green (Glennie) and Kate Russell (St Saviours) both of whom play for the Toowoomba Titans A Rep team.
