Although Fleur-de-Lys beat Toyota Playvolley 3-1 in a women’s Division One championship match last weekend, victory was no easy task for the winners.

In fact, in each of the four sets played at the Cottonera Sports Complex, Fleur-de-Lys raced ahead of Playvolley only to spoil their auspicious starts with too many unforced errors.

In the end, Playvolley’s more determined play paid off as they went on to level the score on each occasion towards the end of the set before claiming victory.

Playvolley shocked Fleur-de-Lys by taking the first set comfortably as Diandra Caruana and Maria Costa shone for their team.

However, an equally outstanding display from Claire Tonna helped FDL to tilt the balance in their favour, particularly in the second and third sets (26-24, 26-24), paving the way for Fleur-de-Lys to win the fourth and final set in a more convincing manner.
