FOB Volleyball Prelims

After the kick-start given to FOB by the cricket prelims (boys) in the morning, it was now time for the guys to play across the net. The lush grass of the lawn surrounded by the desert around the campus, came alive at 5:00 PM on the Saturday evening with the enthusiastic junior boys hitting the gound first.

Team A (Juniors), winning the first two straight sets (11-9, 11-2), qualified for the finals to be held on the 18th of this month. Harsh Thakar, Shashwat Bhanti and Ankit Bhardwaj of the winning team showed commendable performance and managed knitting the team together. Team B played tough with Ishank Mahajan and Anuj Verma putting in great efforts.

This was followed by an enchanting senior boys’ prelims match which engrossed the spectators no less than what a final match would. Both teams gave tough competition to each other which was proved by the three long sets that were played – third being the longest with 8 all to make the game stretch to a game of 13. Set 1 was won by Team-A (11-9), with Tarun Baijanath, Shivang Kapoor and Anirudh Lal showcasing their best. Great resilience shown by Team-B in the second and the third set winning, both (11-6, 13-10) with an awesome performance by Akhil and his team.
