Deployment Cup 2006/7 Event 1 – Volleyball
The first event of the Deployment Cup was volleyball, and as you can imagine all the teams were fired up ready to start the deployment with a win. The weather on the day was not as good as we would expect whilst crossing the equator - we got caught up in a tropical storm. But like all good sailors we powered on and the event went ahead as planned.
The overall event was a success despite the rain, and there was some good volleyball played from all teams. However the Warfare team dominated the event and in a nail biting final they came through on top to beat the Logistic department.
