what about Nneka Onjeyekve's general performance?

Quote from Canter

what about Nneka Onjeyekve's general performance?

This season, i've seen Volero Zürich only two times live (as a spectator in a hall). And since we don't have any official stats here in Switzerland, i hesitate to judge about a players general performance. Sorry

VC Kanti Schaffhausen has qualified for the Playoff Final against Volero Zürich. It's a big success for Kanti to be back in the Playoff Final after three times in a row ending the season on the 5th place. Congrats to all players and the staff .

NUC and Köniz will compete for the bronze medal and VFM will end the season on the 5th place.

The last two rounds of the Playoff Round (which now have become quite unimportant):

Sunday 24th February: Köniz - VFM, NUC - Volero
Wednesday 27th February: Kanti - NUC, Volero - Köniz

Will there be any tv coverage of the finals?

Quote from Raven

Will there be any tv coverage of the finals?

I'm not too optimistic concerning this issue, at the moment. There is this small regional tv-station "tele-d" from which i posted the link in some of my earlier posts here. But it seems, you can watch it on tv only in a small region (around Schaffhausen in the north-east of Switzerland). And tele-d hasn't a live stream of his programm on it's webpage. So you have to wait usually a few days until they have uploaded the replay of the matches on their online archive: http://www.tele-d.ch/sendungsarchiv.html

I really hope that tele-d will broadcast the Playoff Final home match(es) of Kanti, so that we will be able to watch later at least the replay of some sets. I will certainly post here the link as soon as possible or announce it (if there surprisingly would be another station broadcasting something).

I see. Thanks, ozaki

Bryn Kehoe, the setter and captain of Sagres NUC will leave the club at the end of this season

She will end her career as a player and become assistant coach of the Crimson Tide team (University of Alabama/USA).

Her performance for NUC during three seasons in the Swiss League was just . Thank you, Bryn
