St Lucia, St Vincent to contest in for top place in St Lucia 

GROS ISLET , St Lucia, April 28, 2012 - St Lucia will contest with St Vincent and the Grenadines in the final of the 2014 World Championships Qualification Tournament of the NORCECA  Men’s Group B here at the Beausejour Indoor Facility on Sunday night.

The two had contrasting wins in the semi finals on Saturday night.

St Lucia made light work of St Eustatius 3-0 (25-4, 25-8, 25-13), while St Vincent and the Grenadines on the other hand had a workmanlike 3-1 triumph over Grenada (27-25, 20-25, 25-22, 25-17). Grenada and St Eustatius meet for the bronze in the third place play off.

Saint Lucia's Coach Kendall Charlery is anticipating a more competitive St Vincent and the Grenadines outfit in the final. "We have beaten them already but I expect a battle from St Vincent and the Grenadines in the final; they are looking a more composed unit, as they are getting better and better with every game," Charlery observed.

The opposing fellow in Sunday's final Brian Burke in assessing the semi final, thought his team played well, but in patches.

He conceded that his players must do better in the title match against the host St Lucia."We have to play consistently well, defend well at the nets in the final", Burke said. The final is set to serve off at 7: 30 pm. 

The first, second and third place teams go forth to the second round in 2013  as they continue their journey for World Championships Qualification, whilst  the two finalists, St Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines, have already booked berths for the Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Association (ECVA) Senior  Championships set for later this year.
