Feeballers find form
FREEBALLERS showed great improvement in round eight of the Corangamite volleyball competition.
The side drew with fellow A grade finalists NOBTS before recording a 2-1 result over the Champs.
The tie was a strange match, with NOBTS going to an easy two-game lead before Freeballers pulled them back by winning the next two sets just as easily.
The other match that brought the crowd to its feet was between Cooriemungle Bulls and Poachers, which saw the Bulls play steadier when it was needed.
The 2-1 scoreline was a true indication of the closeness of this match, with the Poachers always in contention but not able to finish points as cleanly as the Bulls.
With one round left to play before the finals, the only possible changes on the ladder would be Champs defeating Cowgirls to take over leadership of B grade, and Poachers moving into second place if NOBTS falter in the last match of the home and away season.
Round eight results – Cooriemungle Bulls def Poachers 2-1, Poachers def Ballbusters 3-1, NOBTS def Champs 3-0, Cowgirls def Ballbusters 4-0, Freeballers drew with NOBTS 2-2, Bulls def Cowgirls 3-0, Freeballers def Champs 2-1.
The ladder after round 8 – Cooriemungle Bulls 48, NOBTS 40, Poachers 38, Freeballers 32, Cowgirls 18, Champs 16, Ballbusters 0.
