Gyanu Baba triumph
Defending champions Gyanu Baba School secured victories in two matches during the Sixth Dhorpatan Blue Sky Cup Women´s Double League Volleyball on Tuesday. In the first match of the day, Gyanu Baba eased past Chandeshwori 25-1, 25-3, 25-3. Aruna Shahi of Gyanu Baba was adjudged the woman of the match. They also defeated MMC Kaski 25-5, 25-14, 25-17. Tops School were a set down but bounced back to defeat New Diamond Academy 22-25, 25-20, 25-14, 25-23. New Diamond, who were relying on underage children in the open tournament, brought two new players from Pokhara on the fourth day.
However, coach Kumar Rai said the new players could not adjust in the setting and they lost the match. “We brought elder players because our main player was finding it difficult to strike. But the team is still not set properly,” said the coach, whose team comprising players as young as ten year-olds were showing perfect coordination but lacked strength. The decision to include new players paid off as New Diamond defeated Chandeshwori 25-16, 25-12, 25-11 in their next match. It was New Diamond´s first victory while Chandeshwori are yet to win their match.
