Likewise, at the George Stephens venue, both the Bethel High School and the Dr JP Eustace Memorial made a no show in the Female Division, but Georgetown Secondary overcame their host in straight sets, 2-0. Georgetown defeated their opponents, 25-22, 25-23, in a closely contested match up.
When both schools squared off in the Male Division, the situation was no different, as another tight encounter ensued.
Again, Georgetown Secondary came out on top, winning 26-24, 26-24.
Nine male teams and eight female outfits are registered for the competition, which is laying the platform for a host of activities on the national Volleyball calendar.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines is set to host the Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Associations (ECVA) Under-16 Male Competition in the latter part of February, with the females set to head out to St. Lucia for their version in early March.
