Leaders retain clean records
FREEBALLERS and NOBTS remain unbeaten on the Corangamite Volleyball ladder after three rounds of the winter season.
While winning 15 consecutive sets, autumn premiers NOBTS are yet to lose one.
Cooriemungle Bulls were down in manpower and struggled to get any momentum against Freeballers and Cowgirls.
Cowgirls also struggled against Poachers, who continued their own slow start.
Poachers are looking forward to their key setter and spiker returning from holidays.
Both John Fallon and Brendan Crameri will make a big difference to their team’s results.
Ballbusters had their biggest win for a long time, defeating Net Ninjas 4-0.
