The atmosphere inside the AVRC gym last Tuesday, May 7, 2024, hits a different kind of heat as the budding rivalry of the Yellow and Green Team faces off in an all-out war for the Women Volleyball Championship for the season finale of DSWD FO7 Sports Fest 2024.
Both teams showed impressive games intensified by the team’s supporters.
The Green Team pulled the rug under Yellow with 25-20, 25-23, and 25-23, sweeping the three sets to win the championship.
The green team, who just wanted to enjoy the game and give it their all, did not expect to reach the finals.
Likewise, the teamwork of the red team catapulted them to win against the blue team in a deciding game 5 to get the 3rd spot for the 2024 volleyball championship.
