Unbeaten record goes in 5-set thriller

Aces’ NVL2(S) ladies’ perfect start to the 2010-2011 season came to an end today with a 3-2 loss against Guildford International.

Earlier in the day, the team had enjoyed a fairly routine straight-sets victory over Plymouth. A full report and pictures will follow shortly.

Weekend preview 21/11

With both BVA teams on a week off, our NVL ladies are on the road for a challenging triangular fixture against Guildford International and Plymouth.

Guildford finished last season on identical points with our NVL 2 team (5-11); Aces finished in 9th with Guildford in 10th due to us winning one more set and them also losing one more set. In the two matches played, Aces won the first one (at home) fairly comfortably and looked set for an easy victory in the return fixture, but took their foot completely off the gas and ended up losing 3-2. (editor’s note: This couldn’t have had anything to do with the late arrival of Martyn and Natasha with their noise-making machinery, could it?!)

Plymouth finished last season 4th in Division 3(W) on 50 points, six ahead of our NVL 3 team. The teams split the two fixtures (3-1 and 0-3 respectively). So far this year our friends from Devon have beaten Sussex, Bath and New Forest Ladies at a cost of only two sets, but were picked apart by Bristol, 3-1 last week.

It’s only a short trip to the luxurious surroundings of the ACS (American Community School) in Cobham, so please come along and show your support.
