WESSEX LeAF elite athlete academy, featuring former All Saints’ School pupil Amber Davies, defeated Graveny Malory Eagles to win the Volleyball England under-18 Girls Grand Prix final.

Victory in the final, held at the National Volleyball Centre in Kettering, was in some part consolation for the defeat suffered by the girls earlier in the month in the Volleyball England National Cup final against Tameside VC.

Wessex LeAF also finished third in Division Three (South) of the VE Ladies National League.

With the indoor season now over, Davies, now a junior national indoor squad player, intends to compete in England beach volleyball tour events, beginning with a national training camp in Croyde during the May half-term holiday.
