Sofia Gonzalez is the first ever female player to lead B Series Rankings

Sofia Gonzalez, playing with Becky O’Neill narrowly lost the 21-14 to mark Lee and Paul Fitzgerald in this week’s B Series Final in the ‘Go Spike’ beach Volleyball league this week but it was enough to take her to the top of the B Rankings for this season. This is the first time that a female player has led the B Standings in the history of this mixed  competition.

This situation reflects the rapidly improving standard of the women players in Weymouth and with other female players such as Becky O’Neill, Lauren Edwards and Chloe and Lucy Oldrid rapidly improving  Sofia will have to work hard to maintain her position as number 1 woman player on Weymouth Beach.

In the A Series  it was ‘ King Of The Beach’ week. This is when the top 8 ranked players compete as individuals partnering a different partner each match. The winner is the player who scores most points at the end of the evening. This month’s competition was won by Ryan Stout who ended up ahead of his closest rivals Craig Bishop, Carl Neale and Terry Oldrid.

The League continues next Tuesday and all new players are welcome from 6 pm at the Permanent Courts or they can join the coaching sessions between 6-8pm on Wednesday evening.
