Day 4 - The race heats up !

Two matches that promised to be very exciting were lined up for the day. What ensued eventually was a bit of an anti-climax.

The first match was the match that could change the whole scenario in the Group of Death, the Scientists. If Pythagoras wins the match against Copernicus then the next two matches in the group of Scientists are as good as quarter finals.

But Copernicus made sure that some order is restored in the Scientists' world of volleyball. They defeated Pythagoras convincingly 15 - 5, 15 - 4. Thereby strengthening their chances of reaching to semi-finals.

In the next match of the day, between the Philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, had some elements of fireworks and exceptional game play. The match provided good show of team work and individual brilliance. Though in the end, Plato won 15 - 10, 15 - 10.

The scores are updated in the Scoreboard. We will shortly update the snaps and the pics. Keep reading this space as the race for the champions heats up.

We (Plato) are in the Semis !!

The Sunday's match against Aristotle was crucial and had really booked an early birth for us on the semifinals. We did not have plans for the opposition and relied on the basic of making every attempt for winning points rather than playing safe. In the process we lost quite a few points and won the most.

The performance was not at our best but was enough to be victorious and have to rise in our Game for next matches. It was again a great team effort.Starting from Niraj Patel who placed the ball relentlessly on the opposition court, Nandish played at the center and provided every opportunity for me to win the points by just tapping the ball and in turn pulled most of the points. Laxman's service was awesome and some of his serve was left unpick. But have to work on accuracy which will be a handful source for easy points. Ajay and Divyesh handled the left and right front really well. We thought victory would be quite easy but the opposition really made us earn it.

Having fixed their birth in semifinals both Plato and Zeno would want to continue their winning streak and would make every attempt to avoid Copernicus in the semis who looks quite good at the moment.
