A close loss and a confident win in NVL 2 and 3 x 1-2 losses for Ashcombe Under 18’s

Two National League matches against Southampton VC and Dartford Chargers VC resulted in a loss then a win for Ashcombe Dorking VC in NVL 2. Ashcombe travelled away to Southampton on 1st November and lost in a very close game 3-1. On Saturday 7th November a catalogue of mishaps stopped Ashcombe getting off to a steady start as a broken down car, cancelled trains and traffic jams around Dorking all contributed to the team starting with only 7 players and losing the first set 15-25. Once Ashcombe settled down they were able to gain control and win the next 3 sets to 19, 20 and 16. On 8th November Ashcombe hosted the Gold Pool in the Under 18 National Championships where they lost 2-1 against Sevenoaks, South Bucks and South Hants. The ever improving players have another Grand Prix at home on Sunday 6th December.
