The Polytechnic Alumni volleyball tournament has come to an end where the fourth year male students volleyball team emerged winners, while in the female category third year female students volleyball team are the champions.

The tournament which was slated for January 31 to March 14th, 2020 at the Polytechnic Volleyball courts was patronized by Polytechnic students’ teams from each year both male and female, alumni and staff members team.

As it was in the previous year tournament, it was also the then fourth year male students’ team, which was declared winners.

Speaking during the presentation of the awards the Alumni Publicity Secretary Twambi Chalemba thanked all participating teams for making the tournament a success. She further highlighted that this year’s tournament was properly organized and participated by all teams.

“Our main challenge is the sponsorship which at the mean time comes from the few alumni pockets. This competition helps in bringing together students, staff and alumni to socialize and interact,” Chalemba said.

She further pleads to the public and private sector to come forward to sponsor the next tournament.

Noel Chavula a Polytechnic staff member and volleyball player on behalf of the Sports Administrator, commended all the participating teams for their commitment.

He observed that only a few female students participated which he said this has led to the next motive for the Sports Director to woe the girls into being part of the game.

The winning teams went away with monetary prizes and various Gold, Silver and Bronze medals.

Other awards included, best setter, best blocker, best receiver, best server, best spiker and the most valuable player in each category.
