    The easiest way to describe this match is that Heungkuk simply and utterly destroyed VietinBank receptions (non-existent) with a total of 21 aces. Heungkuk OHs Kim Mi-Youn and Shin Yeon-Gyeong dishes out the bulk of the damage with a combined total of 15 aces between the pair. Meanwhile on the other side of the court, the main offender was the Vietnamese libero 19. Nguyễn Thị Ninh Anh who had 10 reception failures.

    Beside missing Park Jeong-Ah, Lee Hyo-Hee, and Yim Myung-Ok due to the NT, it appears that Expressway Hi-pass are missing a few more players as they could only field nine player in their roster. Rookie setter Lee Won-Jeong is out due to a left arm injury and MB Bae Yoo-Na is still sidelined due to surgery at the end of last season. I was expecting to see Won-Jeong play as the starting setter because the team see her as the future replacement for Hyo-Hee.


    Hyundai E&C did better than I thought they would do. Veteran OP Hwang Youn-Joo led the way with 17 points (15 spike kills at 44.12 success rate, and 2 block kills). Rookie Kim Ju-Hyang who played mostly play as MB and OP during her high school years is slowly adapting to the OH position (she got ripped to shreds by the opponents during the VNL this year) as did reasonable well with regards to receptions (no error) and attacks in this match. MB Jeong Si-Young, whom Hyundai received from Heungkuk Pink Spiders for losing veteran MB Kim Se-Young was very impressive in attack in this match with 7 spike kills from 10 attempts.

    Wow, first game and last year Champion have suffered a defeat in the opening match of the competition. GS Caltex (GS) are already missing last yea    r MVP Kang So-Hwi and their starting libero Na Hyun-Jung due to NT duties but it look like MB Moon Myung-Hwa is also unavailable due to some kind of injury. Thin in options in the OH/OPs department, GS coach decided to experiment by having setter An Hye-Jin play in the OP position in Set 1 but it didn't turn out too well. After sitting out for most of last season due to injury, it seem like OH Lee So-Young has regained her form back by scoring a game high of 30 points. Her 30 points consist of 28 spike kills (at 41.18% success rate) along with 1 ace and 1 block. Rookie OH Park Min-Ji finally got her chance to play in her first pro match and did an excellent job to support So-Young in attack by racking up 15 spike kills to be joint second top scorer in her team along with MB Kim Yu-Ri.


    KGC looks much better attacking wise than last season. Let hope they can provide some more assistance to Alaina Bergsma this time around. New recruit OH Choi Eun-Ji did well in reception while leading the attack for KGC. Lee Song-Yi did well in the OP position, maybe it helped that she didn't have to receive. I'm curious to see which players KGC coach will decide to play in the two OH positions alongside Alaina when she come back or will they try what Korea Expressway Corp. did last season where they had a two players receiver line. Also, KGC new setter Ha Hyo-Rim who recently transferred over to KGC did a solid job to helped her team mount the comeback in the final two sets.

    2018 Boryeong · Korea Highway Corporation Cup Pro Volleyball Tournament

    (보령·한국도로공사컵 프로배구대회)

    Aug 5. (Sun) ~ 12 (Sun)




    KOVO Cup 2018 will be returning early this year, starting on August 5th - 12th and the location has also moved to Boryeong General Gymnasium. Boryeong is located approx 200Km south of Seoul and it is the home to Korea famous mud festival, held annually since 1998. For the first time KOVO Cup for the women and the men have been seperated (men's KOVO Cup to be held some time in September).


    Some of the foreign players have just arrived in South Korea but unlike the previous two years, there will be no foreign players in KOVO Cup 2018. The reason given in various articles was because the Korean teams are unable to obtain International Transfer Certificates (ITCs) during this period. Aliona Martiniuc (GS Caltex) and Adora Anae (IBK Altos) have arrived yesterday, Ivana Nesovic (KEC Hi-pass) was also reported to comeback yesterday too but I haven't seen any photos/videos of her return; Berenika Tomsia (Heungkuk) will arrive on August 4th and Alaina Bergsma (KGC Ginseng) is scheduled to return on August 7th. Lastly, Becky Perry (Hyundai E&C) will arrive later than the other on August 20th as she was representing Italy in a beach volleyball tournament in June. Also Korean players in the National Team will not take play in the tournament due to the Asian Game.


    Two international teams will take part in this year edition, EST (from Thailand) and Vietinbank (from Vietnam). Unlike the Vietinbank team which is an actual team in the Vietnamese league, EST will be comprised of players of Thai players who are not part of the current Thai National Team that is preparing for the Asian Game. So basically EST is like a Thai NT B team. Sorry, I currently don't have a confirm list of EST and Vietinbank players for KOVO Cup (I do have a list for Vietinbank but I'm not sure if it up to date).


    Also, KOVO will test a new video challenge system during the tournament. The new system will be use during the upcoming season.

    Breaking News Rumours... soon to be confirm???


    Be advised that I'm not 100% sure if these two pieces of news that I have seen/read are true. Both news/rumours coming from SMM Sport (Thailand).


    First news/rumour is that current NT and former JT Marvelous middle blocker Mai Okumura will played in the Thailand league next season. She will join up with her former teammate Onuma Sittirak at Nakhon Ratchasima Women's Volleyball Club (Nakhon Ratchasima VC) this upcoming season.


    Second news/rumour is also related to Nakhon Ratchasima VC and two of it's players. Current Thai NT members, middle blocker Hattaya Bamrungsuk and outside hitter Chatchu-on Moksri (according to Wikipedia, she was on loan to Supreme Chonburi in 2017, 2018) will be heading to Japan to play in the new professional volleyball league for the 2018/2019 season. Which teams each players would be joining was not stated in the article, however there are now new unconfirmed reports on social media that Hattaya will be joining JT Marvelous and Chatchu-on will be playing for PFU Bluecats (Thai fans are quick as their Wikipedia page for the two players have already been updated).


    Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.



    What do you guys think of these news/rumours and how credible do you these are?
