With Milton Keynes appearing to be missing a few key players, the game was
never in doubt and Warwick were able to move into a comfortable lead from the
start. The Warwick passers were on form giving Wyles all hitting options, a
luxury not often felt by Warwick this season. With the score 18-10 Warwick
relaxed slightly and with some good play by Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes
captured a few points prompting a time-out by Warwick. After a gentle little
reminder about standards and discipline Warwick went back to work and finished
of the set 25-16. In the second set Matt Howe was brought on, much to the
jubilation of the crowd, and hit the floor running with some impressive
hitting. With the passing early on in the set not as precise as the first,
Warwick were relying on the wing hitters more than they would like. However as
the pass improved Phil was able to use the middle, allowing Dan Turnbull to
make some serious dents in the floor. John Gilling also hit some! With Warwick
playing well, they closed out the set 25-13. |

Kees De Hoogh moved into opposite in the 3rd set with Andy Carr being given a
much needed rest. Warwick accelerated away with some impressive jump serving by
Chris Anderson, even if I do say so myself!!! To Milton Keynes credit they
began to pick up strong Riga attacks to the dismay of the Riga hitters,
although good transitional play from Riga ensured the point. Andy Collins,
replacing Phil Wyles halfway though the set, was setting well, the best of
which was a one handed set to Gilling who promptly put the ball away. |
