Hi Folks,
We will be having our annual EDVA tournament on Sunday 4th February. It is open to all teams playing in the Mixed League Division 1 and 2, however we have a maximum of 12 places available and there are 15 teams in the league, so unfortunately we don’t have space for everyone.
Each club is guaranteed at least one place, so long as you enter before the closing date of 20th December, the remaining places will then be allocated based on requests. Please let me know how many places you would like to have as a club and I will then confirm after the closing date, if we have more entries than we have space for.

ESVC Lightning Stormers picked up their Division One winners trophy this week at the AGM, the trophy was collected by Ashleigh Harry and presented by Fixtures Secretary Rob Young, also from Lightning Stormers (well done to all).
The Heavitree Park Life Volleyball Tournament returned for its second year on another glorious sunny day, with Heavitree Pleasure Grounds providing a fantastic scenic background.
Twenty teams competed split into two divisions after 70 matches we had our semi-finalists in each division. Despite the heat it was a day with some excellent volleyball and great camaraderie between the teams, with several playing in their first tournament, through to seasoned campaigners.
Exe Men
In Division 1 both semi-finals were extremely close fought matches, with last year’s winners Kernow just holding off Shark in Park by a couple of points. It was even closer in the other match with Exe Men just one point ahead of Friends United. In the final local team Exe Men showed their determination to get revenge from a loss to Kernow in the early rounds and took the title from Kernow.
Bristol Hornets
In Division 2 local teams Basia and the Giants and Bidders Beauties both lost out in their semi-finals to set up a final between Bristol Hornets and G JAB (from Weston-Super-Mare). Bristol Hornets were too strong for G JAB and comfortably took the Division 2 title.
