Thrilling win for ICF

Chennai: The St. Joseph's-John memorial volleyball tournament got off to a flying start with Integral Coach Factory coasting to a nerve-wracking victory over Cochin Port Trust at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium here on Tuesday.

Nothing tells the tale of the contest than the five set scorcher in which spikers Senthil and Selvaraj were outstanding. The scorecard of 25-18, 12-25, 25-16, 25-27, 15-13 conveys eloquently the quality and content of the contest that went to full distance.

All the good work of Arul and Jishad could not prevent the defeat for Cochin Port Trust.

Earlier, Central Railway (Mumbai) helped by a good display by Priyanka Bora and Hemalatha, outclassed Dr. Sivanthi Club 25-15, 25-12 in the women's section. Jagadeswari and Viji were prominent for the losing outfit.

In another match, GKM Volleyball Club defeated St. Joseph's College of Engineering 25-21, 25-20. While Kalaivani and Cintu were conspicuous for GKM, Karthika and Saradambigai played well for St. Joseph's.

B. Sivanthi Adityan, President, Volleyball Federation of India, inaugurated the tournament in the presence of A. Selvaraj, Chief Commissioner, Income Tax, and Letika Saran, Commissioner of Police.
