NVL Season has finished...

The National League season is now over for all of the Guildford Teams.

The Mens Division 1 team have found it hard playing against some strong teams and will be relegated after only registering 1 win. The Mens 2 team fared slightly better winning 7 of their 16 matches and finishing 6th in Division 3 west.

The Womens team playing in Division 2 have gained the most wins of all the teams this season and were only 2 wins away from a playoff place.

Due to a number of player retirements all the teams are now looking for players to join them in next seasons campaigns. If you are interested in playing National League volleyball with Guildford next season please get in touch using the contact link at the top of the page.

Men's Division 1 Update ...

The Men's 1st team are playing for the 1st time in Division 1 this season of the NVL. The team has played 5 and only managed to win one match so far.

This Sunday they will be hoping to make it two when they travel to take on Warwick. However, the following Saturday they will be taking on Polonia Ealing at home so if you are interested in coming down and supporting then you will be more than welcome.

NVL Season So Far ...

The NVL season has begun and already all three of our teams have seen action.

For the first time ever we have a team in the 1st Division of the NVL. After two good displays the Men's 1st team have put in two excellent performances but sadly have not won a game. They will be looking to gain their first victory this Sunday when they travel to London Lynx.

The women managed a fine win in their opening game against Tuskers and the Men's Division 3 team had mixed fortunes when they lost their opening game to Bristol 2 but then went on to thrash Bristol 3.

Guildford Women Lose Play-Off Final ...

Guildford International's team in the Women's NVL Division 2 fell at the final hurdle yesterday when they went down 1-3 in the play-off final against Leeds at the University of Leeds.

It was a depleted Guildford squad which made the long trip up the M1 to take on a Leeds side which won 3 more games than they did in the regular season.

Astonishingly Guildford managed to go 16-0 up in the 3rd set and although were ahead in the 4th they could not sustain enough pressure on the home side.
