Volleyball Ireland set for biggest and best Cup Finals Weekend!
News
The annual Volleyball Ireland Cup Finals take place over the weekend with 14 matches and an event taken to the next level.
Unbeaten Premier Division champions Santry Calypso will take on a hard-hitting UCD in the showpiece women’s final (Saturday at 2.45pm), whilst 2nd and 3rd placed Aer Lingus and Dalkey Devils battle for men’s glory (Sunday at 5.15pm).
Santry hitter Claudia Honorio is excited for the weekend: “There is a great atmosphere in our community of Volleyball. We expect to be nervous; Volleyball is a nerve-wracking game, and we will keep everyone on the edge of their seats for sure.”
Whilst head coach Julio Rico encouraged everyone to attend the Cup finals weekend adding, “Volleyball is always a great atmosphere. A brilliant event. Bring kids, bring your friends, enjoy the atmosphere, and have fun!”
Across the river newly promoted Dalkey Devils have been preparing hard with captain Guilherme Gilman looking forward to the opportunity: “This is our first Cup final. We got promoted last year and finished in 3rd place in the Premier Division. It has been an insane, crazy year. Expect an amazing match, expect amazing energy, and expect a Dalkey team that will give their all.”
Volleyball Ireland Chief Executive Gary Stewart explains some of the new developments ahead of this year’s final:
“We are really elevating our showpiece events, and this year will feature a brand-new Volleyball floor which enhances the experience for players and spectators. We will have fun games between sets for everyone to enjoy, with some nice giveaways. If you have never been to a Volleyball match before, or you want to check out something new, this is your chance. I promise you: you won’t be disappointed by the show this weekend.”
Tickets are great value at €10 a day for adults and €5 for kids.
