Glasgow Ragazzi  v Glasgow Mets

 
25th October
 

 Ragazzi fell to their 1st defeat of the season to city rivals Glasgow Mets losing the match 3-0. The only quantum of solace for Ragazzi is that they meet Mets again next weekend in the top teams cup so have an opportunity to avenge this defeat. Ragazzi started the stronger and went into the 1st timeout ahead. Cheered on by the Pom Pom girls Ragazzi lost their way in the middle of the set after a couple of service errors and Mets upped their service weight to put Su’s passing unit under pressure . Ragazzi lost this set and fell behind in the second with the block unable to stop McLeod and Hendry on the outside. Ragazzi came back into the set on the back of strong serving from Haddow and Galloway. But an ankle injury to Su’s Gordon McGillvray disrupted the momentum and Mets went onto take the set.

The 3rd set started well for Su leading 16-12 at the timeout but tough serving swung the momentum to Mets and they went onto win the set 25-23. Steven Todd spoke afterwards “I am disappointed ; we need to improve ahead of next week but this is maybe the reality check we needed at this stage of the season – there is lots of bits and pieces for us to work on this week in practice”
