Three years after our first tournament in Delft, we are back on the court surrounded by many other international volleyball teams. Only this time, No Blockers is an official Belgian volleyball club and, proudly, making an impression abroad as the first international volleyball club of Antwerp.
Recap of the tournament
The atmosphere is genuinely nice, as always with international teams, and the level is upper intermediate. We have come a long way, so we are performing at our best to make our stay worthwhile. The first phase is the group phase where points and wins are not really counted. We finish with three consecutive wins and three losses. Next comes the quarter final. After three losses, we make a very convincing appearance against a strong Romanian team and advance to the semifinals. There things get a little tricky: we get stuck in a rotation and contrary to what was promised, the match is over after set 1 already.
Race for third place
A bit disappointed, we are all the happier to hear that there will be a match for third place. Vincent lifts our spirits by saying ‘You lose the first place to become second, but you can only win the third place.’ After dominating our opponent from the start, we come out third place in this tournament. We are happy but know that there is room for more next time. Our personal highlight of the day is Silvia winning women’s MVP of the tournament, congrats and well deserved!
