Fermanagh Flourish to Year's End
The 20th Annual All Ireland Volleyball clubs’ Blockbusters Blitz in Enniskillen was a fitting flourish to end the year.
As expected the trophies were won by visitors.
Both the men’s and women’s finals were finely balanced matches with Trinity College Dublin coming from behind to beat first time visitors CBphoto of Limerick 3-2 in the men’s decider. The women’s finals was just as exciting with Dublin VC winning the 2nd set by an exhausting 30-28 scoreline before the Londoners of White Eagles gained the upper hand to hold onto the title they won last December by a 3-1 scoreline.
Limerick’s Dariusz Skrzecinski and White Eagles Julie Kouamo were named players of the tournament.
As ever the generosity of the Skea Spikers (Lisnaskea) and other Fermanagh organisers such as the District Council was obvious with a virtual Santa’s grotto of prizes and gifts at both on the Saturday evening Social in Willie Rambler’s Enniskillen nitespot and Sunday’s final presentations presided over by Council Chairman Alec Baird.
An emotional moment for Liz Wilson who began it all more than 20 years ago as she was presented with jewellery by her most able successors Lorraine Comiskey, Majella McCabe and Miriam Coffey. The Social honours on a theme of the Roarin’ Twenties went to the Belfast veterans of Team Zimmer for their flapper, slapper, and gangster outfits including the Sedan they carried into the club. A big well done to celebrated NI Internationals, Geoff Hill, Gerry Ford, Stephen Forsythe and Marc Booth and the rest of their Zimmer-pushers. Making up the numbers on the women’s side was not how to describe the Golden oldies, the NIVA Women’s squad from the 90s who played like young ones throughout the preliminaries as did the current NIVA Junior women’s squad who Paul McIlwaine gave an unexpected outing to when
a team from Naas were a late withdrawal.
Next Year’s 21st promises to be a Silver Anniversary Special.
