Imphal, March 23 2014:
DVA-A Thoubal lit up the day at the 1st Inter District Volley Ball Tournament, notching up two wins in the five matches played today while the other matches went according to script though there some exciting moments.
In the first match of the day, DVA-B Thoubal had little difficulty in downing Churachandpur in straight sets with the score line reading as 25-16, 25-17 and 25-19 .
It was however the second match of the day between DVA-A Thoubal and MPSC, Imphal West that brought the roof down with the match stretching to five sets and fortunes swinging from one side to the other.
Evenly matched, but it was the team from Thoubal which ultimately prevailed, 41-39, 28-26, 20-25, 21-25 and 15-8 .
In the third match of the day, Bishnupur rather had it easy to beat Churachandpur in straight sets, 25-10, 25-11, 25-16 .
The domination of the Bishnupur team was complete as they never allowed the team from Churachandpur to come into the match.
This was the second defeat for the team from Churachandpur.
In the fourth match of the day, though MPSC, Imphal West won in straight sets against DVA -B Thoubal, they had to fight for every point as the scoreline suggests.
Perhaps fatigued by the gruelling five setter against DVA-A Thoubal, the police team from Imphal West had to fight for every point, ultimately emerging winner by a competitive score of 25-23, 25-19 and 25-23 .
Perhaps upbeat over their win over the police team earlier in the day in five gruelling sets, DVA-A Thoubal took to the ring in a positive frame of mind and started dictating the course of the game against Bishnupur.
The team from Thoubal did not face much of a resistance in overcoming Bishnupur by a scoreline of 25-16, 25-19 and 25-18 .
The tournament is being organised by the Khoirom Youth Welfare Association.
