Antigua & Barbuda waltz pass Bermuda to top Group D

Marigot, French St. Martin,  September 1st,  2012- Antigua/Barbuda brushed aside Bermuda 25-11,  25-11 and 25 -12 in match number six  of FIVB Men’s World Championship Qualification Tournament NORCECA Group D. In doing so they remained unbeaten from all four games and have registered an unassailable 17 points to top the group.

The coaching staff sat back and watched while their troupes exhibited superiority over their rivals in three relatively easy sets.

For Antigua Xavier Roberts scored 14 points from 11 spikes and 3 blocks.

Brian Amaro  led his team Bermuda  in scoring with 6  the 36 points they earn throughout the ordeal.

Antigua Coach Fitzroy Benjamin of Antigua Barbuda gave his assessment. “From the moment we saw them play the first game we knew that they were not at the level to really compete at this level so we choose the opportunity to give most of our younger players more playing time and we were still able to win comfortable,” he reported.

Coach Bucci of Bermuda paid tribute to the Antigua team. They are a good team with big and athletic guys and in this tournament they were the best team and deserve to win the group. However there is a difference between losing and getting beaten. We were beaten tonight. However, we were still able to enjoy the game and learn a great deal in the process,” he intimated.
