The various competitions organised by the Malta Volleyball Association continued over the weekend at the Cottonera Sports Complex, with matches taking place across different categories.
The two Senior League fixtures attracted particular attention, as Mġarr and reigning champions Swieqi Phoenix Nium both registered convincing 3-0 victories.
In Sunday’s first senior match, Super League side Mġarr defeated Birkirkara Reds in straight sets. Mġarr showed determination and although the Reds showed resilliance, the opening set ended 25-21. The following sets were then comfortably won by Mgarr 25-9 and 25-11.
Swieqi Phoenix Nium also enjoyed a comfortable victory in the second Senior League encounter, overcoming First Division side Depiro 3-0. The reigning champions secured the opening set 25-14 before maintaining their dominance in the remaining sets, winning 25-15 and 25-10.
In the overall standings, Swieqi Phoenix Nium and Birkirkara currently share the top spot with nine points each. Flyers follow in third place with six points, ahead of Paola Executive Security on five points and Mġarr on four. Depiro have collected three points, while Falcons and Birkirkara Reds are still searching for their first points of the season.
The Malta Volleyball Association competitions will continue next weekend and we shall see the start of the under 15 league on Sunday.
