They dominated the game from the start scoring first set, 25-13, 25-16 and 25-18. Prisons started the game looking to run away with the first set, only for Police to recover through Moemedi Siphambe and Lebogang Magote to take the 7-10 lead.
That was the beginning of trouble for Prisons as Police kept asking questions, Prisons stole a point after Goabaone Rasantlo's block. That was not enough to calm down the marauding Police men as they claimed the first set 25-13. Prisons started the second set with the same spirit, enjoying the lead.
However, the lead did not last long as Alex Engleton launched an attack at the far end of the field. Police took the driver’s seat dealing with attacks from their opponents, until Prisons punished them through a serve that was beautifully taken by William Babui. Another scoring opportunity emerged for Prisons through Moemedi Osenotse to inject confidence on his team mates. Police could not let anything steal the victory that was staring them in the eyes as they went on to win the set 25-16.
Police who had a bad day in the office going out in the quarter final during the recent Mascom volleyball tournament, did not want to repeat the same mistake as they continued having a good game snatching the third set 25-18 from Prisons. Speaking to Sport Monitor, Police coach, Peaceful Seleka said the game went according to plan. He said it is work in progress as they prepare for Zone VI club championships scheduled for Maseru, Lesotho next month. “We are here to prepare for bigger tournament.
I cannot say this win is an achievement. We want to finish high in this tournament after the setback we suffered in the previous tournament. The plans that I have for this team are going perfectly. Today two of my players were not in due to Beach volleyball engagement,” he said. Regarding aging squad, Seleka admitted that they do not have much when it comes to development of young players. Despite that, Seleka said there are a few players that they introduce in order get the feel of a real game feeling.
