Sitting on top of the ladder in both A1 women and A2 women, and in second spot in A1 men, after five weeks of volleyball, Bulldogs are in a good position this early in the season.

Teams need to make note that this season’s competition is shorter than usual, it being just 12 weeks of matches prior to finals.

Next Tuesday’s match of the round will be between X-Factor and Bulldogs in A1 men at 8.30 which should be another cracker game, featuring outstanding volleyballers Anthony Harvey, Damien Mellow (X-Factor), and Vinnie Pepe, John Gibson (Bulldogs).
