The Flying Fish Beach Volleyball Series is a series of eight national events running over an eight month period.

The series is endorsed and officiated by Volleyball South Africa and 20 to 24 teams are competing in a round robin competition format followed by a knock-out round.

Hot on the heels of the exciting and closely contested University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) tournament that recently kick-started the second season of this series, The University of Pretoria (TUKS), hosted the second leg of the Tournament last week.

Winners of the UKZN leg of the Series, Colin Pocock and Casey Augoustides, continued in their winning streak after they won their second Flying Fish National Beach Volleyball Series men’s title. The victory was claimed in a closely contested match against Sven Mollgaard and Dominic Goliath

Lianne Vink and Dieke Hessels also bagged a brace when they won their second women’s title. They claimed the title by winning in two straight sets scoring 21 – 17 in both.

“We got off to a very good start to the second tournament of the series this season. There was a lot of intense action on the courts from the first game on Friday morning when the tournament began. The quality of play has immensely improved, which is making the competition even tougher. With the quality of play we have been seeing, I am sure by the time we get to the final tournament we would have seen some even more spectacular beach volleyball action,” said Gary Vorster, CEO of Sports4U, the event promoter.

The action packed weekend also saw Andile Masinga and Freedom Chiya take the third place in the men’s title after winning the tie breaking set 15 – 13. Sheana Abrahams and Natasha Strydom took the third position in the women’s title winning bother sets 21 – 17 and 21 – 11.

The Flying Fish National Beach Volleyball Series will be making its next stop over in Limpopo 9 – 11 October 2015, before heading off to Bloemfontein 23 – 25 October 2015, at the University of the Free State.
