Toilers Advance To City League Final

The Peacock Toilers senior girls volleyball team is off to next week’s city league final after defeating the Cornerstone Christian School Falcons in three straight sets on Thursday evening.

The Toilers played a strong, balanced and aggressive game that pushed the Falcons to the limit. The Falcons fought back at times with brilliance but at other times their response could be typified as flat.

In the end the Toilers won 25 - 16, 25 - 21 and 21.

“Our girls came to play it was fun,” Lorne Polupski co-coach of the Peacock Toilers said going on to emphasize despite the loss the Falcons are a great team.

The Toilers will be up against the Vanier Spirits in the city league final after the Spirits managed to fight back from a 1 - 2 sets deficit against the Rouleau Rebels to take the game 3 - 2 in sets.

Last year’s provincial 1A champions had the Spirits seemingly crushed against the wall leading 2 - 1 in sets at one time.

The set scores were 25 - 19, 14 - 25, 17 - 25, 25 - 17 and 15 - 12 in Vanier’s favour.
