So well deserved — proud of everyone involved.

Our Men’s 1s are proud to be the headline event on Wednesday at this year’s Varsity.

They’re ready to do what they do every year , remind Salford’s men’s team that they don’t compare 😮‍💨

After a season of winning, there’s only one way to finish it: another dominant performance and a big home varsity victory.

Be there to watch & support the boys

Good fight from M2 🔥

The boys headed to Salford on Wednesday for their first Varsity and it was a tough one. After going 0–2 down, they showed real character to bring it back to 2–2 and take it to a fifth set. Didn’t get the result in the end, but a performance to be proud of

Big thanks to everyone who came to support or watched the livestream, we appreciate it♥️

With Salford playing their first team, the Varsity point goes to Chester, so not a bad day overall

Shoutout to Alex for MVP, solid blocks and big kills all game 🔥

Message from our captain Shannon "Being part of this team for the last three years, and captaining it for the past two, has honestly meant so much to me. When I first joined, the team hadn’t won a game in four years, but the girls still showed up every week with so much determination and heart. In my second year we finally started getting a few wins, and now in my last year we’ve been promoted to Division 2, which feels incredible and something I’m so proud of us for. I couldn’t be prouder of this group of girls and everything we’ve achieved together. It’s really sad to be leaving a team that’s been such a big part of my uni life, but Ill always be grateful for the memories and friendships that came from it. And a massive thank you to our coach, Mac, for all the time, support and belief he’s given us along the way!”
Message from our coach Mac "This has been such a long time coming, and it means so much to finally see this team thrive and achieve the success they’ve always deserved. The journey over the past three years has been anything but easy. There were challenges, setbacks, moments of doubt, and times when things didn’t go the way we had hoped. But through all of it, one thing never changed the determination, the hard work, and the belief that if we kept pushing forward, our time would eventually come.Every single person involved showed resilience, commitment, and an incredible level of passion. No one gave up, even when it would have been easier to. Instead, everyone kept showing up, supporting each other, learning from every obstacle, and growing stronger as a team. That perseverance is what makes this moment and this team even more special. Now, seeing everything come together and watching this team finally earn the recognition and success they’ve worked so hard for is honestly an amazing feeling. It’s a reminder that dedication and belief truly pay off in the end. I couldn’t be prouder of everyone involved ,this achievement is completely deserved, and it’s only the beginning of even greater things to come”
