Northwood’s 1st and 2nd volleyball teams got their seasons off to rip-roaring starts at the Fourways High School Volleyball Tournament in Johannesburg on the weekend. The 1st team won the tournament, while the 2nd side were stopped in the quarterfinals…by the 1st team.
In the group stages, the 1st team was dominant, posting six victories, with the closest of those being a 25-14 win over Michael Mount. They had a closer match in the quarterfinals, beating the Northwood 2nds 25-15.
Very tough fight
Next, Kensington A gave Northwood a very tough fight in the semi-finals. The Knights took the first set 25-18, but then dropped the second 24-26, which proved to be the only one they would lose during the course of the event. The decisive third set, then, went Northwood’s way by a 15-12 margin.
The final proved to be an easier affair for Northwood, which won in straight sets, 25-22 and 25-14 over the French international school, Lycee Jules Verne.
