With great serves by Blaire Groenenberg and Steve Norman, and a strong front court effort by Mick Groenenberg, Old Guns took out the first set 25-8.

Desperate to remain in contention, Volleyball is Life began to show promising signs of a comeback early in the second set.

However, fundamental errors and strong serves by Old Guns’ Shane Dahlstrom cost Volleyball is Life the second set, with Old Guns winning 25-9.

The final set of the match saw much of the same patterns with Old Guns quick to build an early lead, thanks to strong efforts by Norman, Mick Groenenberg and Troy Dahlstrom.

As the wind came back into play, Volleyball is Life struggled to get the first pass, resulting in Old Guns taking the set and the match 25-8.
