Gents 1 13:0 run

Last Saturday, 5th of October, the MM1 team had a chance to play their first 3rd division match against LIVO HS1. Going into the game, the tensions were high, however our fighters were ready to face the opponent and prepared to bash some balls into their side of the court. LIVO is a team that does not give up and we were ready to destroy their fighting spirit.

The first set began with a few service mistakes from both sides, however after that we began our road to victory with the first attack by Martin, who smashed the ball into the opponent’s court. After that we were reading the opponent like a book and countering each of their trials to make any points. A very dominant round 1 to our fighters, ending the set with a score of 25:5, which will be documented into the books of history.

Second set was a bit closer, however we maintained a good, steady level of playing and did not allow them closer than 3-4 points in the whole set. The second set felt quite comfortable and after a 25:21 victory we felt solid going into the third set knowing that there’s still 2 more to go, because winning 3 sets is not enough for our warriors.

The third set was the worst for us as we fell behind right from the beginning due to a number of unforced errors, which set them 2-3 points ahead. The fighting spirit was a bit down and it felt like the balls did not want to touch the ground on their side of the net. LIVO maintained the lead until the score of 18:15, where the Gents 1 fighters started their comeback. We were tied at 21:21 and from there on it was pedal to the metal, claiming the third set 25:21.

We were feeling relieved after the third set and the energy was high. Going into the 4th set, their fighting spirit was gone and we were going to destroy it even more. We started off strong, taking a solid lead and maintaining it until the end. Was a perfect finishing set, where there wasn’t much pressure and we could try out new things. In the end a dominant 25:16 victory.

We are yet still to lose a set this year, currently 13:0, and we are planning to keep it that way. Be there on the 12th of October at 17:00 in SC4 to see us going against the sons of Hellas.

We would like to thank all of our fans and supporters in the stands, who give their all to cheer us to victory! Hope to see you there again soon!
