Nelson College boys and Waimea College girls will head to this weekend’s New Zealand Secondary School Volleyball Championship as top seeds from the region, after taking out the Tasman Championship.
Held at Saxton Stadium on both Saturday and Sunday, the Tasman Secondary School Championship saw all 12 teams compete, hoping to qualify for division one, and to decide their seeding for the national championship.
Nelson College reversed their disappointing result at a recent Blenheim tournament, and also the South Island Secondary Championship final, by beating Waimea College in a five set thriller, to secure the top seed. Waimea College and Nayland College will still compete in the top tier of the competition, landing the final two seeding spots.
In the girls draw, five teams will be placed in the top tier, including regional winners Waimea College, who also won the South Island championship. Waimea won important games against Marlborough Girls College and Nelson College for Girls on the weekend. Waimea College Green, which is essentially their B team, and Nayland College, claimed the final division one spots.
