Last weekend our SW teams took part in the last indoor event of the season: the SW Champs played on 5 courts in 2 venues down in Plymouth. The format was qualifying pools followed by separate cup & plate competitions over 2 days.

Our women finished 3rd in the cup while a slightly developmental men's team finished 3rd in the plate.

As is traditional, the Saturday night was spent having a meal & a night out enjoying the Pirate Weekend festivities - this year including our teams & supporters wearing temp team tattoos!!

Our thx as always to all the organisers & volunteers that allow the event to happen!

On Sat some of the club's juniors played in the Wick Jnr 6v6 Grass Tournament. With strong support from the sidelines by coach Leo & parents they managed to finish 2nd in the pool.

In the qtr finals, despite playing well as a team, they were beaten by Ivybridge's 1st team (eventual bronze medalists) & then in the 7th/8th place playoff, the team remained +ve but lost by just 2 pts.

They gave it their all, diving around & getting grazes from the grass to prove it.

They then watched the final which was cut a little short as the sunny weather changed to rain. Into the marquee for the presentations incl. 2 MVP awards, 1 of which went to YVC's very own Greta, which was well deserved for her continual support & encouragement.

For the last indoor jnr trg session of the season last Tues, we invited the parents & guardians to get involved; to show them it's not as easy as the juniors make it look!

As the indoor season closes, 2 final shout outs:
1st to coach Alan & assistant Leo for coaching & supporting the girls
2nd, last, but not least, to all the parents & guardians for their unwavering support, getting the team to the fixtures & supporting them & the coaches every step of the journey.

Onto to the outdoor season!!

Last Saturday saw the final round of 6v6 Girls JuVo competitions in Bristol.

YVC's girls were in good spirits with some very competitive games in the morning, narrowly losing one game by just two points. The afternoon was a clean sweep of wins seeing them placed 2nd overall.

Greta was named the player's MVP for consistent, excellent play.

The team was only formed this year &, as a group, they have developed skill & grown in confidence throughout the season - their team spirit & love for the game should be commended. Their coaches could not be prouder of how they approach training & how far they have come in such a short time.

The final triangular match of the season was crunch time for the men's premier division with any of the 3 teams able to finish top. For YVC's men, they would need to win both by at least 3-1, otherwise if they won a single match they would rise to 3rd & possibly 2nd; anything else would mean staying 4th.

Exeter Storm & Wiltshire Mavericks played 1st with Mavericks coming out on top (3-0) & claiming the division title.

It was then Yeovil's turn to play Mavericks &, perhaps surprisingly, they took the 1st set. However the team were unable to maintain the momentum & went on to lose 3-1 despite all the sets remaining close (25-20; 21-25; 20-25; 23-25).

Finally Yeovil played Storm which turned out to be an even tighter battle with the momentum swinging back & forth between the 2 sides but ultimately it was Storm
who emerged winners from the 5th set (25-17; 23-25; 23-25; 25-20; 15-12).

The MVPs were Dima (v Storm) & Alex (v Mavericks) which meant he claimed joint MVP for the season - the club's 1st libero MVP & we think maybe the SW's as well?!

So our men ultimately finished 4th in their 1st season back in the premier division.

A big thx as always to our traveling supporters (incl. some international visitors) who brought the noise - and some personalised, kit colour-coordinated fairy cakes for the players from top fan Izzy!

Yesterday our SW Men's team travelled down to Weymouth in a repeat of their February fixture vs Weymouth VC & Bristol VC. 1st match was vs Bristol & after relatively easy wins in the 1st 2 sets, Bristol fought back to take the 3rd & then forced the 4th set all the way but ultimately YVC took the set & match - MVP libero No.1 Alex.

In the 2nd match against Weymouth there was good support for both teams creating a great atmosphere in the hall. YVC again started strong, comfortably taking the 1st set 25-17 but Weymouth responded, narrowly taking the 2nd set 25-23. This pattern continued with YVC winning the 3rd set 25-20 then Weymouth winning the 4th 25-18.

So, it all came down to the 5th set. Although the initial points were tightly contested it was Weymouth that led 8-7 at the change of ends & were up 12-10 before YVC were able to steady the ship & put together a steady period of play that took them through to win 15-12 taking all of the last 5 points of the match! MVP No.9 Dima!

Last Saturday our B&D Men's team was in action against 2 Cardiff VC teams: the Jaguars & the Wildcats. This was a repeat of the earlier triangular in the season back in November which the team were beaten 2:0 in each match. This time around although they again came away without a win the team showed progress by taking a set in each match:

Yeovil 1:2 Cardiff Jaguars MVP - No.18 Ethan
