Warrnambool Tournament 2010

Heidelberg fielded three teams at this years Warnambool tournament.

The Men's honors team went through to the grand final undefeated but narrowly lost to Monash in a tough five setter. A great first up effort by coach Luke Campbell and the boys in preparation for defending their VV League title in 2010.

The Heidelberg women's team played in the honors division although the team consisted of only two honors players and seven division one players. The team finished third in the rounds having won two matches and narrowly losing a third match, but lost the first final. Congratulations to Hanna Martin for taking out the Women's Honours MVP award. Coach Jenny Becker was very happy with the improvement in each player over the five matches.

The Division One men's team fought valiantly all weekend with a new combination, and although not indicated in their results, they continued to improve with each match. It was a great effort for the guys and all will benefit from the experience leading into the 2010 VV League season.
