Police Volleyball Club delivered a strong statement in Rwanda’s national volleyball league on Friday, defeating APR in both the men’s and women’s competitions at a packed Petit Stade in Remera.
Police’s men won 3-1 against APR VC, while the women’s team also secured a 3-1 victory over APR WVC, making it a difficult evening for the military-backed club.
The matches were played on November 13 as the men’s competition entered its fifth round and the women’s league reached its third round.
The men’s encounter was particularly significant as the two sides had previously met at the Kirehe Open pre-season tournament, where APR came from two sets down to beat Police 3-2.
Friday’s result therefore gave Police a measure of revenge and strengthened its position in the league standings.
Police WVC also moved to the top of the women’s table after the victory, taking its points tally to nine from three matches. APR WVC remained second with six points.
In the men’s competition, Police VC climbed to first place with 13 points, two ahead of APR VC, which remained on 11.
Elsewhere, REG VC defeated Rwanda Polytechnic Ngoma College 3-0, taking its points tally to 10 and moving into third place in the men’s standings.
The league programme continued on Saturday, November 14, with four matches scheduled across the two competitions.
In the women’s league, RRA were due to face Kepler, while RP Huye were scheduled to meet Ruhango.
The men’s fixtures included EAUR against KVC and Gisagara VC against Kirehe VC.
