Riga on the rack

Coventry Evening Telegraph, 22nd March 1996
 
RIGA crashed to a 3-0 defeat in their final National League match of the season against relegation threatened Sheffield at Warwick on Saturday.

A first set advantage of 6-2 for Riga, who welcomed England international Mike Percival back into the fold, was wiped out as the visitors won 15-9.

The second set followed a similar pattern and Riga were hit by injury to Ben Bunn as they lost 15-12.

And the Yorkshire outfit again overturned a Riga lead in the final set for another 15-9 scoreline.

Disappointed skipper Tom Young said: "To say we weren't at our best is an understatement, we just weren't at the races."
