Match V Königs Wusterhausen Netzhoppers
As I said in the last post the match against Netzhoppers was always going to be tricky. Although low on the ladder they are know as a tough serving team. they also like to use their middle attack a lot, which can pose a lot of difficulties to some teams. We also decided we wanted to finish quickly for Lars. For his 9 month pregnant wife had the feeling she was going to go into labour while he was away.....making him very nervous!
The start of the first set was pretty normal, mostly diding out with one or 2 transitions fom both teams. Netzhoppers lead 8-7 at the first TTO. However after this it was all Wuppertal. Our Libero Flo led the team making an incredible amount of digs in the first set. Soon we over ran them and won the first 25-16.
The second set has seemed to be our doozie set for most of the season, and in this game it was no different. Netzhoppers started winding up their serve, and the more they got ahead the more confident they got. We seemes to be down by 3-4 points the whole set. Just after the middle of the set Mads also pulled up sore in his thigh at the end of a rally, that was him finished for the rest of the match. We made a little run at the end with an ace, but we werent able to capitilize on a hit to bring us back betwen 1 point. Eventually the set went to Netzhoppers 25-21.
We came out like a team that was pissed off (probably because we were) and were soon in control going to an 8-4 lead. We just continued to keep this handy 4 point buffer without to much trouble till the end of the set. Wuppertal 25-21
The 4th set was not to much of a problem, our side out was solid and we made a break half way through the set with Lars serving ace after ace (he really wanted to get home) and were never headed. We lead 24-15, we gave them a few charity points before closing it to 19. Leaving everyone in the team happy, apart from maybe David who was running from the pig pen to the bench like a yo-yo waiting for a chance to get on. (Sorry for not making 2 bad passes in a row David)
So although not a great match, it was a win and if we have a good game next week in Leipzig it will leave us in good stead for a good quarter final draw at the end of the season.
Oh yeh and Lars still isn't a Daddy, i guess the feeling was wrong, But were still waiting!
