No Pirates or Uni Blues or Mt Lofty… :(

Yes it is disappointing to not have some of the bigger Aussie teams/clubs competing in Honours again this year.
They all had various valid reasons ranging from player unavailability and injuries to preparing for MAVL finals the weekend after.
Still should be a great weekend of volleyball in the national capital and hopefully next year we can get all the AVL teams here to compete once again.

Strong comp in both honours men and women. Would put money on Sydney Uni and Hills Dragons consuming the most amount of alcohol on saturday night – would be a very interesting game if they had to play each other at say 8:00am on Sunday morning! (something for the organisers to contemplate perhaps??)

Hey! Everyone at Sydney Uni are elite athletes… right guys?…. guys?
Also, Sydney Uni are younger than hills… we’d take em.

Was disappointed to see the pirates not attending was looking forward to playing them.
Joe said
A logical national calendar probably would have enabled them to participate Michael.

I couldn’t agree more Joe!
I am that old I remember when, as a club, Good Neighbour,Warrnambool,Shepparton and Adelaide were the tournaments that you would attend to test your skills against the best clubs in the country.The timing of all of these tournaments were such that you could ensure you would take your best to play your best!
That was when you had a week playing for a National Title with the twelve standouts in your state and the rest of the time playing for your club! Surely everything from 25 years cannot be wrong?

don’t forget Sisu and Wallabies.
