Duren Match

Well too put it bluntly we lost the match 3-0. 25-21, 25-22, 25-23. And it was very dissapointing. There is no doubt Duren are a good team, but they were certainly very beatable on Saturday. For example they only hit 39% kill, but we did not play anywhere near well enough to win the match.

It was a bad start from us guys, our first few receptions were not great and we were getting blocked and hitting out with only 1 on 1 blocks. As we settled we fought back, but were again hindered by our serving errors. We made 15 service errors in the first 2 sets! The second set was much of the same. We werent quite as far behind, yet could not gain enough momentum to take the lead and the set.

We started much better in the 3rd. Up 8-5 at the first technnical and were also leading to 16. (16-15 I think) However some big service runs gave Duren a 22-17 lead. Some good serving from Andi got us back to level pegging at 22-22. However another error in attack gave Duren the set and the match.

The morale of the match is, if you give away 33 hitting and serving errors in 3 sets, your probably not going to win!

So in other news we have a match against SCC Berlin on friday, then ill be straight of to Denmark to meet up with Shane, Aden, Brad, Nigel & Jarryd for xmas festivities. Im really looking forwsrd to going out (which i havnt really done since july or August) and just letting my hair down. Hopefuly I will be rearing to go for a cup semi when i get back!
