The womens 1sts volleyball team have a huge fixture on Wednesday when they meets Leeds 1sts in the semi-finals of the Northern Conference Cup in the tent.
York got to this stage last year. and will be hopeful that that they can go one better this year. They have good reason to be hopeful, as they approach the fixture in decent form as a 3-0 victory over York St John in the quarter finals attests.
However their league form has been a little inconsistent this year, as they currently sit 4th in the Northern 2B with 12 points. They recently enjoyed a comfortable win against league leaders Sheffield, but followed this up with a 3-0 loss to second placed Newcastle raising some questions as to which York side will turn up on the big day.
The match promises to be a tightly fought affair as the two sides currently sit third and fourth in the table, and both will have high hopes of progressing to the showpiece event of the competition.
Cristina Sechel told Vision: “I don’t expect the fixture against Leeds will be an easy one because we will be missing some of our regular players and playing in the tent in cold weather is always very difficult. But we have beaten Leeds before in three straight sets and we have a strong team spirit, so i’m optimistic about us playing a good game and having a good shot at winning.”
