Bentleigh District & SSV Beachside Division Boys Volleyball Premiers
Congratulations to our Year 5/6 Boys Volleyball Team who won the Bentleigh District Boys Volleyball Premiership earlier this term. The team was undefeated during the Home & Away Summer Season which took place in Term 1.
A close Grand Final against St Peter’s PS saw the team drop the first set, and down match points in the second set. The boys found something extra to win a close second set , keeping the momentum going to win the third set and the Premiership.
