Five male and five female teams took part in the Legends of the Sand Beach Volleyball event season 1 that took place at the Landmark Beach, Oniru Lagos on Friday.
The two-day event, which was organised by Sport Manager Enterprises, saw Omiguard Strikers beat Rock Stars i
in two straight sets 21-18 , 21-16 in the first match of the day, while Kaduna’s De Kings defeated Delta’s Hit Spikers 21-07, 21-15 in the second game.
Speaking with Saturday PUNCH, organiser of the event, Chukueku Gboneme, expressed delight in hosting a successful event.
He said, “Lagos is a coastal area and a lot of people like volleyball, it is just a matter of putting everything together and make the event a reality.
“I have to thank the Nigeria Volleyball Federation, they have been very supportive. I also thank Providus Bank for believing in this project. We went to a lot of people for support but they didn’t see any value in the project but we are all here today and we can see that this is something we should be doing.”
