Results for the Jersey Open 2010
|
The Insurance Corporation Jersey Volleyball Open was dominated by St Malo again this year.
They repeated last year's success of reaching the men's, ladies' and mixed finals - and winning two of them.
This year they lost the men's final to Ex Trjne, a Croatian team who were new to the tournament. The Croats beat the French 2-1 in a superb game to round off the tournament.
The St Malo ladies retained their title for the second year, beating Reading Angels 2-0 in the ladies' final.
St Malo also won the mixed tournament 2-0, beating Sussex Dolphins, the team that defeated them in last year's final.

Jersey Open 2009 - Report
The Jersey Volleyball Open finished today with St Malo winning the men's and ladies and reaching the mixed final.
Jersey's men's team, HLB Jackson Fox, - who beat St Malo in last year's Open - were knocked out by them in the semi finals. Underdogs, Jersey's second-tier team, reached the other semi but lost to the UK team Dolphins. St Malo then beat Dolphins 25-18, 19-25, 15-6 in a fantatic best-of-three set final.
Several teams - including St Malo, Dolphins and Ashcombe from the UK, all brought ladies, men's and mixed teams to the tournament.
Guernsey fared better than Jersey in the ladies league, with the Sarnian team Savills reaching the semi finals where they too were knocked out by St Malo. Jersey's ladies squad, HLB Jackson Fox, came would have reached the semis but finished in fifth place after losing their last game by a single point. It was a disappointment to a team which had played well throughout the two days. In the final St Malo beat Ashcombe 25-15, 25-19.
St Malo came close to making it a clean sweep but lost the mixed league to Dolphins, who had beaten Jersey in the semis. In the final, Dolphins and St Malo were completely level after two sets but the French side lost the third 11-15.
