CAVB Continental Cup- Sub Zonal Pool 12- Zone 7
Mauritius Men and Women beach Volleyball teams claimed both gold medals in the CAVB Continental Cup Sub Zonal Phase Pool 12, Zone 7 held at Archipel in Mauritius this week.
Mauritius finished first in both gender, beating the host country 3-1 in men’s side whereas a golden set was needed to determine the winning team on the Women’s side. The Mauritian team with Natalie Letendrie and Rachel Christine won it 15-10.
Before the golden set, Stephanie Louise and Cristine Parsooramen forced Seychelles Team B to a tie-beak. T.Elizabeth and L.Tyrant were in front by 11-6 and were at four points to a final victory but the Mauritians came back over their opponent to level at 12-12 to have a first match point at 14-13 and a second at 15-14 before winning the match by 17-15 to the great excitement of the Mauritian delegation.
Mauritius, who won the gold medal in African Games in 2011 and represented Africa at the 2012 London Olympic Games, will be again a serious contender in this edition of Continental Cup and will be well followed in the next round if she is well seeded.
This win on the ladies side help very much the man’s side who didn’t make any mistake to win the two match easily in two sets.
Before that, the Team B (Stephane Moonisamy and Olivier Alfred) were beaten narrowly by the Bijoux brothers in the tie-break whereas Gilbert Alfred and Eric Louise didn’t make any mistake to win by two sets over E.Flore and H.Ernesta.
The competition was under the supervision of Mr.Kaysee Teeroovengadum, President of the Zone 7 and the referee delegate was Mr. Rodrigue Deboue from Cameroon.
The Seychelles Federation organise for the first time a competition of beach-volley and did it with great professionalism.
