The volleyball national championship will be held next week beginning Thursday 9th to Monday 13th April at the Multi Purpose hall. The competition is in the open men and women categories. Defending champions of both categories, Arasina, will be out to prove that last year was not a fluke.
Training has intensified with the teams that have indicated that they will participate, namely Lauru, Margweecout, Rainbow and Talisango. This competition is the only time that all affiliates will be taking part. It will be a time where our provincial, Honiara and senior national players will be displaying their talent and skills. Reliable sources have confirmed that the Lauru team is here serious to take the cup away from champions Arasina.In the women's competition, the National team will be out to prove that they are ready for the World Championships.
