Women power of KDAC

From L-R: Miriam Hoosen, Sabena Ishwarlal

Heights Volleyball Club and KSST got off with a bang winning the KwaDukuza Volleyball season off a tremendous start winning the traditional opening tournament of the 2023 season. Heights were made to pull off everything but eventually prevailed whilst KSST pulled off all stops to guarantee their victory.

In the semi-final, Heights had to come from a set down to defeat a determined Glenhills team. Treval and Kyle were in superb form as they continued to put points on the board for Glenhills ensuring they win the first set convincingly 25-11. There seemed to be a spanner in the works with favourites Height staring into the barrel of the gun.

Heights' manager Aslam Randeree during the cross over gave his team a tongue lashing for their poor efforts. This seemed to have done the trick. Heights came out with venom and ensured a place in the final winning the next two sets convincingly 25-19, 15-5.

The final between Heights and Cool Leaders began cautiously seeing both teams producing a series of unforced errors. Sandhir 'Tin Boy' Jugmohan and Sherwin rose to the occasion for Heights ensuring a 25-18 first set victory for Heights. This brought out the fire in the second set as Heights produced some scintillating power play

Cool Leaders pulled into the lead as they were determined to equal the sets and force the game into the final third set. However, Heights had their talisman up their sleeves as they introduced Neren 'Bob' Reddy who did not start the second set. Reddy immediately got game turned around as he produced three brilliant blocks. Heights went on and won the set and final 25-20. The setting by Liam produced the difference for Heights with excellent contributions from the rest.

Manager of Heights VC Aslam Randeree was ecstatic with his boys saying that to win 3 games in 2 nights was a great achievement especially because they hardly trained due to load shedding and rain.

In the female division KSST ladies dominated the game taking on bitter rivals H20 in the finals. KSST beat H20 25-15 and in the second set H20 put on a fight with KSST letting their guard down a little but finally ending the game at 27-25.

These teams put on a lovely performance with the crowd backing the teams right up till the end.
