Muschette, Wolmer's cop volleyball wins

MUSCHETTE High are all but assured of a spot in the semi-finals of the ISSA Under-19 Boys volleyball tournament after scoring their second consecutive win -- against Old Harbour High -- at Old Harbour yesterday.

After beating Camperdown High 3-2 on Monday, the Trelawny school dismissed Old Harbour by the same score yesterday to take the lead in Group D with maximum six points.

In other games, Wolmer's Boys' scored a hard-fought 3-1 win over Knox College at The Mico University College, St Jago turned back Camperdown 3-1 and Mannings defeated Campion College 3-0.

Muschette lead their group by three points over St Jago High, although the latter have played a game less.

Camperdown, with two points from two games, are almost out of the running, while Old Harbour, with one point from one game, still have a chance if they can win their two remaining matches.

In the meantime, defending champions St Jago defeated Camperdown 3-1 to remain on track for the title. The home team won 25-12, 25-24, 12-25, 25-19 to hand Camperdown their second defeat in two days.

Meanwhile, Wolmer's Boys' opened Group C on a winning note at Mico. The Gregg Scott-coached outfit took the first set 25-17, but Knox rallied to win the second, 25-16, to tie the score.

But the home team, backed by a vociferous home crowd, stepped up their game to clinch the third set, 25-24.

Knox raced into a 5-0 lead at the start of the fourth, but Wolmer's moved to move within a point (10-9) before taking a 13-12 lead.

Knox did manage to retake the lead at 15-14, but Wolmer's again wrestled the advantage to lead 24-20, and although Knox staged another fightback to level the scores at 24-24, Wolmer's scored the decisive point to take the set.

The final set, was evenly contested for the most part, but Wolmer's eventually pulled away for a convincing 25-16 victory.

At Mannings, the home team won 25-20, 25-22, 25-11 and joined Wolmer's atop Group C on three points.

In the lone Boys' game played on Monday, Muschette came from behind to stop Camperdown 3-2.

Muschette captured the third set 25-20 to take a 2-1 lead, but Camperdown tied the scores after taking the fourth, 25-23.
