ST JOHN’S, Antigua and Barbuda, October 26, 2024: Dominica finished the preliminary round of the 2024 Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Association (ECVA) Senior Men’s Championships here at the YMCA Sports Complex, by topping Pool B.
A painless 3-0(25-7, 25-5, 25-7) win over Saba, saw Dominica ending with a 4:0 win/ loss ratio.
In sheering dominance, Dominica allowed Saba into the match, as they executed their plays with consummate ease.
In his assessment of his team’s final preliminary round match, Dominica’s Head Coach- Brian Galvas said: “We executed, we put a lot of pressure on the team today and that was reflective in the score. If you can control your own side and can execute, you have a really good chance against any side”.
Ahead of the semi-finals, Gavlas added: “Our intention coming here was to make the playoff round and we accomplished that; our intention is to get better after each match”.
But whilst Dominica glowed in all matches in the preliminary round, for Saba, it was the reverse, as they lost all four matches.
This tale left Saba’s Head Coach- Kemaul Lee stating: “Throughout the tournament, we had some patches where we played well, especially against Anguilla, but we were just not consistent with the fundamentals of the game”.
Lee, however, assured that work will be done in Saba to ensure that a better showing is had in ensuing championships.
