Squad win on BUCS Premier League debut
UEL’s men’s volleyball squad were convincing winners on their BUCS Premier League debut at SportsDock yesterday.
The first set started with a UCL service, but the hosts quickly gained the initiative and started putting pressure on their opponents.
Confident in attack and highly organised in defence, UEL eventually won the first set 25-9 and they continued to dictate the game in the second set.
Despite UCL managing to score several points, the hosts comfortably won 25-11, but a lack of concentration and some unforced errors allowed UCL to compete in the third set, before UEL clinched it 25-21.

“Our team has great potential and showed its class by staying focused and disciplined throughout the game.
