UCD Mixed Blitz

In Late november the UCD mixed blitz took place. This is an annual fun tournament
for all sorts of Volleyball players. This year we took 2 teams. Our first team breezed
through their group matches, however were narrowly beaten for a place in the Cup Semi-final
in a match we should have won. Thus we were knocked into the plate competition, which we went
on to win. This was the first piece of Silverware of the year. Team 2 faired well and were
unlucky to be knocked out.

    NOTE:
  • There is NO Montrose street in Dublin!
  • Winning the plate is no good for a bottle of Jameson!
  • Volleyball should carry a CONCUSSION health risk!
Limerick

In December we took one team (thanks Floritta!) to the U.L tournament. This tournament
is one ofthe smaller tournaments of the year but is equally enjoyable. We gave another
good performance and reached the final, winning 3-0. Thus our second trophy of the year
and its only DECEMBER!!

    NOTE:
  • Cameras grow legs in Limerick and go walkies!!
  • The fun only begins when you get back to Cork.

By Christmas we said goodbye to some of over seas players and kept our fingers
crossed for that 7' Lithuanian international. This year the intervarsities were hosted
by UCD.Teams were looking doubtfull with 2 weeks to go. Thanks to the arrivals
for the new term, things were looking up. Our girls team against our expectations
lost only one match and took the title by beating DCU 3-1 in the final.

Our mens team had a good tournament too. They lost out 2-0 to sligo in a closely
contested 1/4 final, so knocking them into the plate competition. Here they had a
convincing victory over Limerick in the semis and beat jordanstown 2-0 in the final.
Resulting in this being one of the most successful tournaments ever for the Club.

Congratulations to Claudia, paul and Martin on their participation in the North V South selection.

    NOTE:
  • We're all angels when we sleep!
  • There is no one married on the team!
  • You can break the trophies if you dance on the table!
  • Its better to put your car in the right car park!
  • Cork has now got a better cup then the Liam McCarthy, a UCC Volleyball ice bucket!
