Giant Strides in London
News
Two matches of interest for London Giants on Sunday, with their men’s taking on the side that finished above them last year and the women facing the experienced Sussex Dolphins. Both matches took place at their home court at Caius House YC, London.
After two very close sets, both of which they won, the men were able to raise their game to earn their first win in the Men’s Second Division in the National English Volleyball League (25-20, 26-24, 25-13).
Following them onto court to face an established Second Division side, Sussex Dolphins, the players of the London Giants women’s team showed great character to earn their second win in two matches at this higher level after Sussex had won the second set to level the scores. The final score was 25-22, 21-25, 25-19, 25-21 in favour of the Londoners.
The MVP award went to Duru Beyazıt, an U18 player who has recently been selected to join Volleyball England Cadet girls’ team. Congratulations to both London Giants senior teams in their first home games of the League season!
