Volleyball: Jets triumph but still miss out on final

Holders Edinburgh Jets ended Troon Team Ayrshire’s unbeaten Scottish volleyball record but failed to claim a place in the women’s final of the John Syer Trophy.

Jets produced a stunning 25-20, 25-18, 19-25, 14-25, 15-10 win in Ayrshire, but it wasn’t enough as Troon won the two sets they needed to qualify for the final on sets difference.

Troon finished top of the group and will now face City of Edinburgh for the title at Ravenscraig Sports Centre this Sunday. Edinburgh beat Su Ragazzi 25-10, 25-21, 25-16 to book their place after losing to the same team in the league the previous weekend.
