London Docklands are flying high at the top of the National Volleyball League Division 2 and last Sunday they visited the Harriers of the R.A.F in Lincolnshire. But Docklands were to make sure that the Harriers would not even take off, let alone fly.

Docklands took full advantage of Harriers' injury and absenteeism from the first whistle, as they have done in almost every game this season. Docklands' superiority in the first sets of their matches this season has been almost faultless but at 10-25, this one was special.

The story was virtually re-inacted for the third set too. Harriers made far too many errors leaving Docklands setter Andy Vincett only needing to dictate the play in second gear consistency to see out the match 11-25.

It was the second Set that posed the most problems for the visitors to win when at 20-18 down things were not going their way. But Docklands are proud to have only lost 2 sets in their previous five matches and, with Some timely winners from Alexis Blair, were able to keep the Harriers rooted to terra firma by overhauling them late on to take the set 23-25.

Quote of the day came from the Harriers coach when, at 0-2 and 11-22 down he was heard to pronounce "It's not all over yet." He was right of course; it took another three points before they could go home well beaten and Docklands could prepare for their biggest matches of the season in a fortnight's time.

Next Games: Away Vs Loughborough (2/12) & Sheffield (3/12).
