DEFENDING CHAMPIONS Flow Deacons duly finished the preliminaries of the Goddard Enterprises senior knockouts unbeaten by predictably defeating Burger King Clapham Toners 25-16, 25-15, 25-8 in a rescheduled game at the Kensington Bond on Monday night.

While the match contained little for former queens Toners, who had already been eliminated from Thursday’s semi-finals, Deacons needed to follow up their Sunday night victory over Pan American International Insurance Warrens to finish unbeaten and in the No.1 spot.

With young Shonte Seale leading the attack, Deacons seemed almost in practice mode although a number of serving errors kept Toners in track, even if some distance behind their opponents.

Toners recalled former national setter Allison Pile, who would have been a member of their champion team in the 1980s. (KB)
