Monday 19 October

The University Blues have had a strong start to their 2009 campaign after defeating last year’s champions the AIS in 5 sets. They then went on to follow this performance with an impressive win over Volleyball WA, winning in 4 sets.

Their red hot form was put to an end however when they came up against last year’s rivals QAS Pirates.

The Pirates were responsible for knocking the University Blues out of the grand final in last year’s competition and showed that they are still red hot contenders for the championship this year with a straight sets win over the Blues in round one.

Team Manager KC Chong said it “was a great start to the season it will be a long road ahead for the boys”.

The University Blues will now face three more opponents in a round two battle at the AIS from 30 October.
