The Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) made early inroads as the 2010 Reggae Jammin Business House Volleyball tournament staged by CNIS Ltd, got under way on Sunday with the opening day of the league competition.

The Central bank rattled up a total of four wins on a day which saw eight matches taking place at the UWI gymnasium. BOJ got the ball rolling in the second match of the day when they got the better of Guardian Life by two sets to nil (21-6, 21-12) in the mixed division encounter.

Their second win came when they beat AMECO 21-12, 21-13 in a men’s match followed by a 21-15, 21-9 win over NWC in a mixed encounter. BOJ then chalked up their fourth victory of the day when they defeated NWC’s men 21-11, 21-8.

In other results, Guardian Life tagged NWC 21-17, 21-14 in a mixed encounter before NWC hit back with a 21-20, 21-16 win over Guardian in their men’s showdown.

Guardian then got their second win when they pipped AMECO two sets to one, 18-21, 21-11, 21-17. AMECO were not to be outdone on the day, as they got their lone win when they defeated Guardian in a men’s encounter 21-17, 10-21, 21-19.

The competition, which is in its sixth year, is once again sponsored by Reggae Jammin Foods and Supreme ventures, with teams entering both the mixed and men’s divisions.

Defending champions the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) will not be available to take part in this year’s competition due to the unavailability of their players. This year’s competition has also seen one rule change, with teams only able to feature one national player each.

The competition continues next Sunday.
