| Publishing date: 17.05.2010 13:35 |
Over the weekend Anguilla entertained visiting volleyball teams from St. Martin in a series of practice games. On Friday evening the female Stars n’ Stripes played a very tense game against the Anguilla female practice squad. Stars n’ Stripes pushed the Anguilla squad to the limit, thanks to smart playing by Susan Webster and her teammates. However, Ludianne Leverette and Khalidah Banks led the Anguilla squad's fight back with some vicious hits and good passing. This was the recipe that allowed them to gain a victory over Stars n’ Stripes. The scores were 19, 25; 25, 20; 20, 25; 25, 22; 15, 10.

In the second game of the evening the male Stars n' Stripes tried to tame the Anguilla male OECS practice squad. Unfortunately, for Stars n' Stripes there was confusion between the setter and hitters. This was unlike the machine- like performance of the Anguilla team as Sherwin “Skywalker” Richardson and Ian “Tucker” Connor devastated their opponents. The game culminated in a 25, 19; 25, 10; 25, 19 victory for Anguilla.

This resulted in a well deserved victory for Stars n' Stripes, with a score line of 19, 25; 20, 25; 20, 25; 20, 25.

Later, the male Stars n’ Stripes wanted to continue the winning ways of their female counterparts. Their high flying hitters could do no wrong as they pulverized a porous Anguilla practice squad. Down two sets, it seemed as if the writing was on the wall for Anguilla's men as a confident Stars n’ Stripes smelt victory. Then suddenly there was hope when as Sherwin ‘Skywalker’ Richardson came to help rescue his teammates. His presence helped the team to win three consecutive sets to win the match with a score line of 19, 25; 20, 25; 25, 19; 25, 19 and 15, 13.
