DEFENDING CHAMPIONS BARBADOS will be appearing in tonight’s semi-finals of the tenth CAZOVA Junior Volleyball Championships at the Wildey Gymnasium after earning a direct ticket by playing unbeaten to top Group B.
The hosts, thanks to a game-high 19 points from opposite player Ahkeem Mayers, finished the preliminaries on Thursday night with a 25-19, 25-13, 26-24 victory over Martinique.

The former St Leonard’s Boys’ student slammed 14 kills and racked up three aces as Martinique struggled against the aggressive Bajans.
