CLEOBURY’S ladies have soared away from the West Midlands Volleyball League Ladies Division One drop zone with a pair of 3-0 whitewashes.

A derby victory over Hereford at the end of last month was backed up with a success against Birmingham Mets which moved them out of the bottom two.

Zan Matuszewska dominated in the libero position and the attacking prowess of middle-hitter Harriet Snape won her players’ player of the match versus Birmingham. Lindsey Potter was most valuable player.

Cleobury edged a tight opening set 26-24 against Hereford but seized control 25-13 and 25-23 to ease through. Shannon Smith was players’ player with Matuszewska most valuable.
