Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The defending men A Division volleyball champions Redskins and runners-up LDF have made it through to the finals after qualifying at the first 2019 mini-league tournament which was held in Hlotse, Leribe last weekend. The finals will be held on the weekend of March 30- 31.<\/p>\n

Redskins dominated the men Pool A tournament, beating LMPS and Green Spikes 3-0 each, and Mahlaseli 3-1 to set the final of the opening volleyball competition against LDF who beat Ben10 and LUCT 3-0 each, and managed a slender 3-2 victory over Rovers in Pool B.<\/p>\n

Green Spikes and Rovers will battle-it-out for the third position on the same day and venue. Green Spikes beat LMPS and Mahlaseli 3-0 in Pool A, while Rovers beat LUCT and Ben10 3-0 in Pool B.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019 section, Redskins were unstoppable in Pool A when they thumped Green Spikes and Rovers 3-0, and H-Flow 3-2. In Pool B, the defending women champions LDF beat both LMPS and last year\u2019s runners-up Mahlaseli 3-0. The women tournament will continue next weekend in Hlotse, Leribe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe play our league games in a tournament format dubbed league tournaments and during the course of the year, we hold four league tournaments,\u201d said the Lesotho Volleyball Association (LVA) public relations officer, Buller Phalatse.<\/p>\n

Phalatse said the second league tournament will be held before June with third either in August or September and the last in November. LVA league winners and runners-up in men and women category represent the country in the Zone 6 Club Championship.<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s Zone 6 competition, Lesotho was represented by Redskins and LDF as men volleyball champs and runners-up respectively, with LDF and Mahlaseli as women winners and second-placed.<\/p>\n

Phalatse said Lesotho clubs did not perform well in the Zone 6 competition last year. \u201cOur teams did not perform well at last year\u2019s Zone 6 competition which was held in Durban, South Africa.<\/p>\n

None of our teams went beyond the first round of the tournament,\u201d he said. In 2017, Redskins finished the Zone 6 competition on position three and qualified for the 2018 African Club Championship which was held in Cairo, Egypt.<\/p>\n

However, Redskins were knocked out of the continental showpiece by Ahly of Egypt with a 3-0 score-line (25-5, 25-9, 25-16) to book the quarter-final place.<\/p>\n
