Nuneaton Evening Tribune, 13th October 1980
 
Riga Nuneaton Volleyball Club have made a successful start to their National League Division Two campaign with two successive wins.

On Saturday they travelled to meet Portsmouth, and had no difficulty winning 3 - 0 in a match that lasted just 44 minutes.

Yesterday they moved on to Bristol to play Bedminster. where they encountered stiff opposition before winning 3 - 1.

Riga lost the first set 15 - 9, but they bounced back to take the second set 17 - 15 in 37 minutes. after serving eleven times for the set.

The Bristol side faded badly in the third and fourth sets. and Riga were able to move to a well-earned victory.
