MSC chairperson Jelani Malida described the final as  “tremendously thrilling match.”

He said: “It was very close. It could have gone either way. We watched some great game. I am glad the sport is improving.  In the past it was cricket and football that dominated.  But we are trying to promote volleyball as well especially among the youth.”

Dhegam Bhura captain Talha Bhura expressed pride with the performance of his side.

“The main thing is that everyone enjoyed and with the number of supporters that  cheered us, made the team feel winners as well. A huge congratulations to the winning team,” he said.

Reds captain Amin Patel said it has been an amazing season of volleyball at the MSC.

“It was tough and fun; the crowd cheering and booing; players fighting for every point.

“The amount of pressure during a situation like that was very difficult, but the game had to go on. There can only be one winner and that’s us.”

Patel was also named Player of the Tournament.

“Our secret was about teamwork. We worked together throughout, motivating each other,” he said. n
