Railstars continued to reign supreme in the Zimbabwe National Volleyball League when they won their two respective matches played at Danhiko Volleyball Courts in Harare on Saturday.
The Bulawayo side beat Support Unit 3-0 before they finished off by beating Kutama Old Boys’ Association (Koba) by the same scoreline.
They top the National Volleyball League log with 16 points from eight matches.
Railstars coach Itsanang-Abu-Basutu said he was impressed with the performance of the team.
“We have won all our matches so far because of team work and we have been preparing for our very games very well. This has contributed to us winning all our games,” he said.
In the first set Railstars beat Support Unit 25-21 while they won the second and third sets 25-14.
Railstars continued with their dominance in the second game against Koba as they won 25-17, 25-18 in the second set before they recorded a 25-17 win in the last set to guarantee themselves a victory.
Abu-Basutu said despite their good run in the national league, there was no room for complacency.
