Narrow lead for NOBTS
WITH Freeballers on work experience, NOBTS edged their way to the top of the Corangamite volleyball ladder after round five.
Percentage now separates the teams, with both yet to lose a match in the winter season.
New combination Gorge Chocolates have worked their way into third place courtesy of a 2-2 draw with NOBTS while Cooriemungle Bulls sit in fourth waiting to pounce during the last two rounds.
Poachers’ slow start to the season may cost them as they struggle to climb the ladder into A grade contention.
Poachers have signalled their intentions to fight their way up the ladder with strong performances against Ballbusters and Bulls.
Despite NOBTS and Freeballers current climbs, any one of five teams could make their presence felt when the pressure really starts to set in.
Round three results: NOBTS drew with Gorge Chocolates 2-2, Poachers def Ballbusters 4-0, Cowgirls def Net Ninjas 3-0, Cooriemungle Bulls def Champs 2-1, Champs def Ballbusters 3-1.
